Mahon Jr. Todd grew up in Albany and attended St. Catherine of Siena, Christian Brothers Academy and Assumption University. After thoroughly enjoying his days at Assumption, he followed his childhood dream and became a Journeyman Electrician and joined his Father in the Family Business, as Vice President of Henzel Electric. After several years, he made a change and began a 25 year career in sales as a Senior Territory Manager with Hubbell Wiring Device where he was a nationally recognized producer. He was a trusted expert given his background, integrity and strong relationships. Todd was a previous member of the Board of Directors at the Southern Saratoga YMCA, a volunteer and coach with the Clifton Park Girls Basketball League and a constant presence at the scorers table at the Academy of the Holy Names. He was also a member of the Clifton Park Poker League. Todd was a passionate, life-long fan of the NY Yankees and the Miami Dolphins. His family and friends have many memories of seeing games at Yankee Stadium with Todd. He grew up spending his summers on Lake George, forever holding a special place in his heart. He was an expert boater and knew every inch of that lake. He relished afternoons out on the water on his family’s 1961 Chris Craft “Sparky” and he loved sharing rides with his friends and family, especially his children. Todd was head chef in the Henzel house and was particularly skilled with the grill and smoker, much to the delight of his family. He enjoyed taking care of his yard and enjoyed his morning coffee and crossword puzzles out by his pool with his beagles, Gus, Ollie and Finnegan. Todd’s greatest pride and joy came from his close relationship with Kimberly and his children. He loved planning the next family vacation and adventure, heading to the beach or hopping on a plane for a visit to Florida, always taking the window seat. He was a sports Dad, traveling extensively supporting all 3 of his multi sport children, he loved every minute. He was there for all the moments both big and small and made life fun! While taken far too early, Todd lived a full life and left an indelible mark on all those he met along the way.
