Robert Lincoln Todd

Robert Lincoln Todd Sr. 
Robert Todd, known to most as Bob, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving 
family on Thursday, February 20, 2025. He was 82 years old and survived by his wife of 63 years, 
Gail Todd, 2 sons, Lincoln Todd (and wife Pamela Todd) and Christopher Todd (and his wife Julie 
Todd), 6 grandchildren (Stephanie Ulrich, Bridgette Smith, Kristen Schultz, Victoria Todd, 
Benjamin Todd, and Rebecca Keyes), and 9 great grandchildren (Sarah Ulrich, Grace Ulrich, 
Madelyn Smith, Luke Smith, Jacob Smith, Henry Schultz, Olivia Schultz, Naomi Schultz, and Isaac 
Schultz). 
Bob was born on May 3, 1942 and grew up in Newburyport, Massachusetts. He obtained 
a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Master of Education from Bridgewater State College. 
He went on to become a teacher at West Bridgewater High School and then the Principal of the 
Howard School in West Bridgewater. Bob also succeeded in many other careers, including 
serving as Chairman of the Board of Bridgewater Savings Bank and founded two family 
businesses. Bob and his sons opened TNT Carpentry where he was lead developer, as well as 
Mansfield True Value Hardware Store which shone brightly on North Main Street for over 25 
years.  
Not only was Bob a very accomplished man, he was also a man of many interests. He 
was a world traveler, having explored all 50 states and several other countries. He enjoyed skiing 
out west with his sons and cruising near and far with his wife. He raced cars in his younger years 
and settled into becoming an avid newspaper reader in his later years. 
Bobs’ life was long and full, but most importantly, it was filled with love. He was luckier 
than most in having met Gail at 3 years old, and taking her on their first date to bowl and roller 
skate at just 13 years old. They dated for 5 years, and were married for over 63 years. They built 
their home in Bridgewater with their own hands, where they raised their boys. Their home was 
an anchor for family and friends to gather, celebrate holidays, and enjoy each other’s company. 
He was a kind man of strength and integrity, a follower of Christ, and the head of a beautiful 
family. 
Visiting hours will be held on March 1, 2025 (Saturday) from 9 until 11 AM in the First 
Baptist Church, 111 Plymouth Street (corner of Route 18) North Middleboro. A funeral service 
will follow at 11 AM. Interment will be private and at a later date.  
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the First Baptist Church, 111
