On Thanksgiving, the 54 year old Todd died peacefully in his home in Mammoth Lakes. During Jeffís more than 30 years in Mammoth, he worked for MMSA in several capacities, ranging from ìnight crewî in his younger days to junior ski racing coach. He was a substitute teacher in the Mammoth School Districts. On a personal level, he entertained friends and visitors with his singing, guitar-playing and songwriting. Jeff Todd was instrumental in producing many exciting programs that expanded ski racing fo0r the youth of Mammoth and the Far West Skiing Association. Jeff Todd is survived by his parents, Robert and Lil Todd of Paradise and his many devoted friends and admirers who say they will remember Jeffís indomitable spirit, relentless energy, riotous wit and extraordinary courage. A celebration of life will be announced later.   Comments (1) Subscribe to this comment's feed Carmen Noriega Cortez said:   I met Jeff many years ago while working at the admitting office at Mammoth Hospital. Jeff always had a smile from ear to ear. He will be missed very much. September 18, 2008 Write comment Show/Hide comment form Name Email Comment Write the displayed characters Add Comment
