As the Recording Secretary, I knew and worked with John on the Whitpain Planning Commission for a ten year period. John was always passionate about protecting the essential goodness of Whitpain Township. John was a courteous, caring individual who valiantely battled cancer, then watched his wife suffer and die from cancer, only to be stricken with ALS. He was a true gentleman and very proud of his son and wife. Oour thoughts and prayers are with all of the Todd family.
