We have lovingly created this site to honor and remember Todd Hill. Our hope is that it will be a way for people to share memories of Todd and learn about the ways he touched others. We invite you to click on the  STORIES heading above and add to our growing collection of memories. It gives our family such joy to know that Todd will forever be in our hearts and on our minds. 
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Todd was beloved to everyone he met. He fought hard, lived well and loved fully. 
A school psychologist at Glendora High School, Todd was a lifelong educator who touched countless lives. His inherent goodness, his honest heart and his wise counsel made him a favorite of students and colleagues. Gentle, kind and even-keeled, Todd was the rock family, friends and acquaintances turned to as well. He dedicated his life to quietly helping others.

He was exceptionally proud of daughter Aislinn  - the two shared a special bond and could make each other laugh like no one else could - and cherished and protected his wife, Deirdre. Deirdre and Todd's love spanned three decades and their marriage was grounded in their deep Catholic faith and mutual respect. Todd, Deirdre and Aislinn abided by a family mission statement, wrote personal goals every season, and never missed family night, even if it was virtual. 

Todd always put family first. He was the kind of son all parents wanted and took his little brother, Toby, under his wing from an early age. He was crushed by the death of his father, Hugh Hill, who passed on Oct. 9, 2019.  He adored children - he got great joy creating memories with his nieces, nephews and their families - and had a goofy side that made him even more endearing. He loved his brothers-in-law, Ryne Pearson and Thad McCormack, completely. To him, they were his brothers and their wives, Irene and Eva, his sisters.  
 
A music fan all his life, Todd attended hundreds of concerts, many with Toby and dear friend Dan Quirk. He enjoyed time with his close circle of male friends, talking about music, soccer, mountain biking or exchanging quips about funny TV shows. He loved being around them as much as he cherished Deirdre's large Irish family, the McCormacks. At one point in his life, he took regular trips to Las Vegas with his mother-in-law, Myra, and Deirdre's aunts and would spend hours with them planning out the details. 

Despite his health challenges, Todd never complained. He was deeply spiritual and leaned into his faith. He chose to be joyful and appreciate the little things, whether it was eating barbeque made just for him by Ryne, getting coffee with Deirdre, or baking muffins for his family.

He maintained optimism and was looking forward to being healthy enough to undergo a kidney transplant and mountain biking in Mammoth. Toby happened to be a perfect match. 

Born in Fullerton on June 21, 1964 to Hugh and P.J. Hill, Todd graduated from Fullerton Union High School, then earned a psychology degree from California State University Fullerton. He went on to earn his Master’s degree in school counseling from Chapman University and a school psychology credential from Azusa Pacific University.

Todd was a truly special person who had a lasting impact on all the lives he touched. He left us too soon and will be greatly missed. If you have a special memory of Todd that makes you smile, we invite you to share it under the story section of this site. We love hearing about how Todd touched people’s lives. 

The loving community at Glendora High School, where Todd worked for many years, is creating a GHS Senior Scholarship in his name. Information about donations is at the top of this page. In lieu of flowers, Deirdre and Aislinn ask that donations be made to this fund.

This site is a work in progress. Please share your photos, stories and audio messages to help us tell the story of Todd's remarkable life.

I cannot believe it's been three LONG years since Todd's passing.
We were not in person at that time and hearing about his passing
without having been able to see him somehow made it worse.
Todd made my day! It was the BEST thing being on the same campus
as him. When I think of Todd I think of how he truly was one of the best
humans on this planet. You could talk to him about anything and he would
always make me feel good....and laugh.
Missing you so much Pinto!

When I think of Todd, I think of laughter. It really didn't matter what we were talking about, he found a way to make me laugh. Miss you , friend.

Sending all our love to Deirdre and Aislinn on Todd’s birthday. After many gloomy June days, the sun came out and shone brightly just like Todd did for all of us. His bright light is deeply missed. But his love is still deeply felt.

Laughter- that is what I both remember and miss about Todd. Today would have been his 59th birthday. We, his family and friends, are sharing pictures of Todd and what strikes me is how many of them are Todd at his silly best. After Todd’s passing, my sister got some key chains that say “WWTD”. What would Todd do? Laugh, love and embrace life. We can honor his memory by doing that. Happy Birthday, Todd.

Todd's birthday is “first” in my friend group of “people my age having birthdays.” He blazed the trail for each new age, and I would start thinking of myself as that age. Each year I embrace the new age to such a degree that by September I have to ask Irene, his sister-in-law, how old I really am. Now this marker of time passing is bittersweet. I do appreciate the reminder, though, to pause to remember Todd and send love to his family.

Today is Todd's birthday and I cannot imagine how Deidre and Aislynn are feeling today. I've been thinking of Todd often. He was truly the most kind, caring, HELPFUL person but wicked funny too. Todd was a great person but really, he was very humble. I think this world has a shortage of people who really have so much, give so much but are humble enough to never have to talk about all they are, all that they've achieved. Todd was one of the most comfortable people as himself and it made one comfortable, comforted to be around him.
Happy Birthday Pinto!

It’s been two years since Todd left us. I think about him every time I hear a podcast he would have like (and I can’t text him about it) . There are times I feel his presence so much -I know he is around watching over Deirdre and Aislinn. We miss you Todd.

Some days it seems like forever since I've heard Todd's laugh and some days it seems like yesterday. I miss being around him at a family party. And I miss his goofy and fun personality. Thinking of you Deirdre and Aislinn. We love you both and Todd so much.

I cannot believe it's been two years since Todd is no longer here with you, Deirdre and Aislinn. For me, it seems as though it's been forever. When someone is so truly special, kind, funny and needed by all then the time gone seems an eternity.
I'm thinking of you both on this day, such a hard day to remember.
I'm hoping you can feel his presence. He loved you both so very much.

Dear Deirdre and Aislinn,
It is hard to believe it has been 2 years since Todd left this world. He was such an amazing colleague, friend, father and husband. He cared deeply for Deirdre and Aislinn, and talked about them all the time at work. Sending you my love, hoping that you are doing well.

Today Todd would have turned 58 years old. Thinking about Todd brings a smile to my lips and a tear to my eyes. I have so many memories of Todd - his laugh when he was watching something on TV he found funny, him answering the door ready to return whatever plastic Tupperware container he had of ours, going to concerts in the park during the summer, camping in Mammoth, going wine tasting with D and Ry... so many good times.
I know we will forever miss his kind heart and caring soul.

Deidre and Aislinn,
I've thought of you both throughout the year but especially
today.
I cannot imagine how hard it is to have such a wonderful person
be gone so early. I cannot imagine that it gets any easier.
I just know how funny and kind and caring he was. I knew of his
great taste in music and what a wonderful listener and loyal friend
he was as well.
Thinking of you and wishing you all the best,

This world would be an exponentially better place if we all lived by the code of “WWTD”: What Would Todd Do? Kind, generous, hardworking, quietly wise, and fiercely loyal to his extended family and friends down to his very bones. I am so grateful to have had him as my big brother, best friend and exemplary role model all these years. Miss you, love you, my Bruv.

The first time I met Todd was when my wife and I were moving into our new home across from Todd, Deirdre and Aislinn. We had this really large and heavy old-school TV. My wife and I were contemplating on how we were going to get it out of the truck and into the house as we continued to unpack the rest of the truck. On one of our last trips out with basically just the TV left, there stood Todd on our driveway. He introduced himself and asked if he could help unload the TV. This basically sums up the friend that I gained that day - looking out for others and always willing to help. He became my running buddy, a church friend, poker party host, fellow beer connoisseur, concert goer, lunch buddy... He was always upbeat and funny (even during his difficult health struggles). I was the lucky one to be a part of his life.

It seems much longer than only a year has gone by without Todd.
Todd was such a kind person, a good listener and FUNNY!
I think of Deirdre, Aislin and Toby often but especially so today.
Please know I'm thinking of you, as well as Todd, and am sending hugs and thoughts your way.

When I think of Mr. Hill it takes me back to my middle school years!! I was just a little girl. I always admired the love and respect he had for Mrs. Hill. I remember those afternoons I would stay after school to help decorate the classroom and he would also be there helping out his wife, my 6th grade teacher. I was able to see what a great bond they had. Something every child should get to experience. They were my inspiration as to the kind of relationship I should seek when I grew older. I bumped into some abusive individuals in life but because I had also been around the right ones, I knew I deserved better. Thank you Mr and Mrs Hill ❤

Todd was always kind, no matter what was going on and who he was with. I remember talking with him often, in the morning, at the office, and he would lift my spirits with his humor. And he would give me the best recommendations for wine tasting, hotel stays, etc. He would talk about his travels with Deirdre and Aislin, and loved every minute of it. What a great guy. I miss him dearly.

Man I miss Todd. He was a class act; one that was always kind and friendly. And because this year was a rough one at school, I miss him even more. What a great guy he was and a reassuring colleague in times of trouble.

Sending love to Deirdre and Aislinn today.

Sorry to be so late, but I just heard about Todd. I never met him ,but knowing Deirdre I'm sure he was as kind and considerate as she was in high school.

So many memories of Todd... camping in Mammoth, Christmas dinners at the Summit House, more Christmas dinners on Hamer Drive... but I want to give a special shout-out to his poker games, especially the one where I showed up to an empty house, called him to say, "Where is everybody?" and he said, "Um, it's tomorrow."

Todd, you may have left us here on earth, but you will live on in the memories and hearts of your family and friends.

Todd appeared in a special way today when reading Sideways Stories from Wayside School:

"Here, let me try it, " said Todd. He tasted it. "You're crazy, Maurecia!" he said. "This is the best tasting ice cream I've ever eaten! Try some, Deedee."

After my dad passed I was comforted by the thought that we (our entire Lamb-Doran family) had Todd to take his place as the “Saint” in the family. Like my father Todd was a constant reassuring positive peaceful presence at every family gathering he was able to attend, which was most. Todd would even show up without Deirdre when she was unable to make it on very few occasions due to work or being out of town and that struck a cord in me. Todd WANTED to be with us and we WANTED him too. We still do.

Like my father, Todd set a very high standard for a man, a husband, a father, a godfather, a son, a friend and a cousin. He IS a truly Good Soul and I love him with all my heart and am BLESSED that he loved us too.

So when he passed I, like everyone else, was shocked to the core and pondered the unexpected change of what I thought was going to be our future as a family. Todd was supposed to take my dads place with all the comfort they both brought to our family, the stability, the goodness, the kindness and the quite love and support when we needed it most. Who is he going to pass down the torch to?

Then I thought of the young men in our family and what lovely souls they are; he was a stable example to them and I know they love him, have always loved him and will often think of him in days to come when they are making choices as men, husbands, fathers, godfathers, sons, friends and cousins. So maybe because of my father and Todd we will have many “Saints” in our family. I think so. Thank you Todd for being yourself, for loving us, for being there for us then, now and forever. I look forward to seeing you again one day.

I was just thinking of Todd yesterday. I checked this site and read some memories. Then when my class entered, I decided to start a new read aloud, Sideways Stories From Wayside School. Fourteen sentences into the book, the character Todd appears. Now I am happily forced to say his name out loud everyday for the remainder of the book. I am positive that was Todd giving me the nudge to pick that book. Miss you Todd.

We will be making Irish puddings tomorrow. Or as you always called them Irish Cannonballs! You were right. But they really are delicious. :) You were always there or at least stopped by each year we made them. We will be thinking of you tomorrow, Todd. You were a part of all our family traditions. You will always be with us, in our hearts, and thoughts.

Have you ever met someone who was so special you never considered them going away? Todd, you mean so much. I will miss all our talks and all the advice. Very few people understood like you. I'm glad you are not in pain anymore but I would give anything to have you back. Love you dude.

I can't remember the first time I met Todd. But I'm not surprised. Todd is the kind of person who once you meet him, it's like you've known him forever. Over the years that I've known him, he's encouraged me to take risks and inspired me to be a better human being. He was so excited when I got married because he couldn't wait to see my new email and refer to me as "jengel".  He liked to participate in staff events. He would hunt me and a couple of others down before an event to plan what we were going to eat. He always had ideas and wanted to share whatever he was going to bring. 

Todd was kind, so kind. He listened and remembered details that others wouldn't. He cared about people and wanted to make real connections every chance he got. I know so many of us were blessed to have had Todd as a mentor, a collaborator, and a friend. Thank you, Deirdre and Aislinn, for sharing him with us. I pray that all of us keep Todd alive in our hearts by doing what he would do and making real connections with others.

I hesitated--and am still hesitant--to write about my friendship with Todd.  Aislinn said something at the memorial that struck a nerve, a similar nerve in me, but of course it couldn't have the intensity as Aislinn's.  Thank you Aislinn for speaking your heart. 

It doesn't fit that Todd is no longer among us.  There are only a few people that we have the privilege to know and befriend in this life who, even if we did not see them often, we know they are there, and we know that they add so much significance to our lives on this planet, that it's sort of impossible to imagine them not being there, for us and for others. Todd was one of these people.

After I retired in 2016 I started a walking club.  On one of our usual trails we bumped into my longtime friend Todd and he joined us. His schedule depended on work and health. But the treat was when he was able to walk with our little group.  I so looked forward to the times he could make it. People who'd never met him, but were introduced through this small group, came to know him as someone particularly unique.

Along with all of those who have lovingly remembered him and spoken of their loss, I too will treasure, deeply, the time I was honored to know Todd as friend.

I met Todd at the Old Spaghetti Factory, where he wore many hats: server, bartender, cook. Everyone respected Todd at work, but that didn’t deter him from having fun. He was into SKA and had his fun group of buddies. Most of all, I remember he absolutely adored Deirdre! Let us all take comfort in knowing Todd is at peace in paradise with our Lord. Deirdre, Aislinn, Toby, family & friends: my deepest condolences to you. ♥️

Todd and I haven't been in touch for a while, but he was a very dear friend to me back in the day. I remember the first time I met Todd when he was making mudslides for everyone at his house. Todd was also in my wedding and I have video of him saying, "Look...chicks! Oh, wait...that's Steph's mom..." I am deeply saddened by his loss and send my deepest condolences to his family and friends. --Stephanie (Carlin) Shark

Todd was one of the first people I met when I came to GUSD 16 years ago.  There was an ease about him from the beginning. Parents trusted him, colleagues respected him and his presence was grounding. Working alongside him in IEP meetings, I valued Todd's even temper, subtle humor and ability to put problems into perspective. He went on to handle his illness with a similar grace.

Todd spoke of his family often. He loved you openly and deeply and I know he would be proud of the beautiful tribute made to him tonight. 

Todd, I am honored to have known and worked alongside you all these years. I know you are in a better place.  Rest In Peace, friend.

I have experienced the gift of Todd'presence first as my brother Danny's brother in spirit as well as his quiet strength and generous soul. Todd went to Coachella w Dan and my son Brian, encouraged Patrick at his high school graduation party and was always kind asking my spouse Rodney and I how we were doing raising our special son Rory. Ever the calm , gently smiling pillar we could rely on to be genuine. May God embrace Todd and his beautiful family now and always.

I have had the joy of working with Todd for virtually my whole career at GHS. From lunch table laughs, to work gatherings, to conversations about family and those oh so powerful quick conversations in the hall. Every interaction with Todd was met with his sly, but oh so genuine smile. I never left a conversation without thinking of what a fun and kind man Todd was. His smile made everyone feel a part of his inner circle, a spot we all cherished. Todd's ability to work with students and staff and make them all feel valued made him great at his job and a wonderful friend. Shortly after Todd's health battles began, I had a health issue myself. Throughout my journey, Todd sent me constant emails and found me when I was on campus to check on me. Even when he was the one needing checking in on he was there for me. I will miss my friend and colleague and send Deirdre, Aislinn and the whole Hill/McCormack family my love and support. Thank you for sharing Todd with us, he will be forever missed.

I worked with Todd at Williams Educational Center when he was a Program Specialist. He was a wonderful man. He had such a calm and reassuring presence. Although I know he must have attended many meetings every week, he was always completely invested in the process. He truly listened to families. He problem solved with them. Above all, he always showed that he cared about them and their student. I loved hearing your family's mission statement at the memorial because I see how Todd strove to live that every day. He will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to your family. Holding you up in prayer.

I met Todd at GHS when he had just started as a psych, not a counselor anymore. I know a lot of students would tell me they were sad he wasn't their counselor but I was happy because I worked with the psych's more often. Todd was such a great listener, kind and loyal but he was really funny! Such a quick wit! I loved sitting next to him in a meeting or at a retirement get together because, his wit! I honestly do not remember how, or why I agreed, but he and I started talking about a movie we liked, Animal House, and he started calling himself Pinto and I was Flounder.
I look back on all the great lunches we had at GHS, all the times he'd make me feel better about whatever. God, I hope I made him feel a bit better too. Although, he was SO HAPPY whenever he talked about his family!
We talked about everything and anything. We both had gone to the Palace back in the day for music, we both watched Austin City Limits.
I can not imagine how you are doing. I was shocked and stunned and so angry at the news; how could this be true? Todd was so positive and brave.
At different moments, from here on I will think of Todd and I will think of you all as well.

Todd was an inspiration to many of us, but especially to me. Almost 10 years ago, Todd helped me so much as a new teacher. Todd truly took me under his wing and taught me how to be a special education teacher. His mentorship lasted beyond that first year but through every year of my entire career. That is just who Todd was and how I know many of us felt. Todd was always there with an open ear for us at GHS whether it be professionally or personally. I am grateful to have known Todd, mentored by Todd, and to be able to call him a friend. 

Thank you for sharing an amazing person with us!

Todd had such a positive influence on others that it is difficult to describe it in a few words. However, I when I saw the feather icon, it reminded me of the great times I used to have with Todd and Opus the cat. Back in the mid 90's Todd and I used to go for an afternoon mountain bike ride, get take out Mexican food (without telling Deirdre as she was usually making something healthy for dinner) and eat the food while watching TV with Opus. Opus had a feather thing he used to chase while we would watch reruns of ER. It is some of my favorite memories of that era and I will always remember those times. We (Jessica, Doug, Heidi and Wendy) also had a lot of fun with Todd camping, meeting for holiday dinners and seeing the family. I really can't believe he is gone and I am very sorry that we won't have the opportunity to do more things together. But I am very grateful for time we did spend together and the friendship with him, Deirdre, Irene and Ryne. If the measure of one's life is defined by the impact we have on others, then Todd is definitely one of the best.

Our hearts go out to Deirdre, Aislinn, Irene, Ryne and the family. Todd will be deeply missed, but I am very fortunate to have been his friend.

Love,

I met Todd last year at GHS - (9/2019) - Todd was kind and made me feel welcomed at GHS; he helped me to get adjusted to the school environment and answered my questions when I asked him. I am fortunate to have worked alongside Todd at GHS. My heartfelt sympathies to his family and friends.

I think I was introduced to Todd and the family shortly after I started dating my now husband, Tom, which was 21 years ago. He was instantly easy to talk to and we all laughed together constantly....they were probably sharing old memories that I was not part of, but Todd ALWAYS made me feel welcomed. 

As the years went on, we had a traditional Holiday Christmas dinner out with the Hill and Pearson adults. We always loved catching up and sharing stories about our children (we have one daughter as well), work, etc.... With life and activities getting in the way, those dinners faded some....but, we always re-connected where we left off without a hitch. We so loved our time with Todd....we always laughed together no matter what, he was a gentle soul with a HUGE heart. I always gravitated towards talking with him at larger gatherings, he will be greatly missed....which is an understatement.  

Our hearts are broken for Dierdre, Aislinn and the whole family. I would so love to celebrate his life all together, I hope we can do that at some point. Life is not fair, but we will forever love Todd and cherish our memories and laughter. I already miss our times together and hold the memories close to my heart. 

Much Love, Jessica

A candle is lovely metaphor for the way Todd lived his life. He was a steady, comforting presence to all who knew him. I loved how his eyes lit up with pride for Deirdre and Aislinn. I loved how he was always in the moment, enjoying whatever adventures came his way, whether it was fishing with Ryne and my brother, or heading to Vegas with Myra and their additional partners-in-crime. I loved knowing that he worked with high school students, helping them find their way in the world. Todd's memory will always be a light to brighten the darkness around us.
----
I am not resigned to the shutting away of loving hearts in the hard ground.
So it is, and so it will be, for so it has been, time out of mind:

Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned.

Deirdre, Aislinn and the entire Hill and McCormack families, our deepest sympathies are extended to all of you. Todd was such a special human being and we are so saddened by his passing. Last night our family spent some time reflecting on all of the great characteristics Todd possessed. Todd was a gentle and enormously kind person. He was open and accepting and always made everyone feel included. Authentic and genuine are some other words that come to mind when thinking about Todd.

While he was soft spoken, his boisterous laugh would erupt out of his chest when something tickled his fancy. And, he loved to laugh. His goofy side and eagerness to tease and engage the kids is something we all thought of as we were remembering him. He had a great positive attitude and was generous with his time and willingness to give to others. And, he was a thoughtful friend. Always one to inquire how you were doing and honestly want to know the answer.

We will always remember Todd and think of his athleticism. When we first met the Hills, we were all impressed that he was playing soccer on many weekends. He was a fearless and skilled mountain biker. Both Kevin and Chris have such fond memories of mountain bike rides with Todd, especially up in Mammoth.

Todd was a caring husband and devoted father. He loved his family! Whether it was helping with the girl scout troop or attending Aislinn’s volleyball games, Todd was there to support and encourage. And, I always thought it was so sweet that Deirdre and Todd still had theater date nights at SCR. You could just feel the love they all shared when you were with the three of them.

We will miss him greatly.

I cannot believe it's been three LONG years since Todd's passing.
We were not in person at that time and hearing about his passing
without having been able to see him somehow made it worse.
Todd made my day! It was the BEST thing being on the same campus
as him. When I think of Todd I think of how he truly was one of the best
humans on this planet. You could talk to him about anything and he would
always make me feel good....and laugh.
Missing you so much Pinto!

We are missing our family's biggest cheerleader today and always. Diet Cokes and a casino sound good right about now. Miss you Todd.

When I think of Todd, I think of laughter. It really didn't matter what we were talking about, he found a way to make me laugh. Miss you , friend.

Sleepy sleepy

October 8, 2021
Well you know how Todd could fall asleep anywhere very quickly. He came to one of our Sacred Healing Journeys at Yoga Sol. We begin with healing breath work then go into a sound bath. Todd however fell asleep while I was explaining everything before we began. He woke up half way through to a bunch of people breathing loud and didn’t remember where he was at first and kind of freak out.  He was able to regroup and join in thank fully. We had a good laugh about it after.  
he would also fall asleep immediately when he came for Bemer treatments and my son would always say how he wished he could be like Todd And fall asleep so fast.   And of course there was my dog who always knew when he was coming and she made sure he spent time with her first!  They had a special bondSending love your way.

Keep An Eye on the Quiet Ones

October 6, 2021
My first impression of Todd, way back in the day, was that of a quiet, calm,  very polite friend of Deirdre. I wish I could remember the first instance when I caught a glimpse of his zany side! I do remember and cherish the laughter and love that surrounded Todd wherever he was.

Poop 360

October 6, 2021
As I am looking back through texts from Todd on this year anniversary, I found the most sentimental one of all.  Todd had a great idea for an app and had to text me about it.  Todd said, "It is Poop 360.  It lets you know when someone is dropping a deuce and how fast they are moving to the bathroom."  :) 

The past year has been really hard without him and it hasn't gotten easier.  I miss him so much.  He got me and my humor and I got him.   Love you forever Godhusband.
