James Edward Todd

JAMES E. TODD, 79, of Clearwater, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, December 29, 2013. Though successful in the business world and retiring as Human Resource Manager of International Paper Box Machine Co. in Nashua, NH, he considered the acceptance of Jesus Christ as his personal savior the most important decision of his life. He felt privileged to be involved in ministry to spread the Gospel and led many to salvation and eternal life. For the past five years, Jim's evangelistic efforts have been concentrated in the Odessa area of the country of Ukraine. Telling others of God's gift of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ was the hallmark of his life and constant focus.

He is survived by his wife, Shirley, his partner in a marriage of almost 50 years and the love of his life. Together, they were blessed with five children who survive him.
