Starr P Todd

Hampton - Starr was called to be with his Lord on Friday, March 29, 2024 surrounded by his family following a period of declining health. Born in Ipswich, MA on March 23, 1936, he was the son of F. Payson and Mary (Keyes) Todd. He grew up in Rowley, graduating from Newburyport High School in 1953 and Cambridge Academy the ensuing year. Starr attended Brown University and Babson Inst. In his youth he played baseball for the Rowley Rams and was later inducted into the Hall of Fame as part of the Wen-Ess-Row-Ham League. Starr married his high school sweetheart, Dorothy M. Dalzell on April 19, 1959, whom he met at a dance in the Rowley Town Hall in May 1951. Shortly after the wedding he left for the U.S. Army. His tour of duty took him to Karlsruhe, Germany where Dottee joined him soon after. While working in the Finance Dept., his Captain heard he played baseball and sent him out to play for the team that season traveling throughout West Germany and down to Italy. During this “long honeymoon” Starr and Dottee were able to travel to many European countries. Starr was honorably discharged in 1961. Starr and Dottee eventually settled in Hampton, NH where they raised a son, Bradley P. Todd and a daughter Janet S. Todd. Starr wore several hats during his working years, but spent his retirement managing Todd Farm Antiques Flea Market. Besides his parents he was predeceased by his brother Robert S. Todd and brother-in-law Richard H. Dalzell. In addition to his wife, son Brad (Karen Parks) of Dover, NH and daughter Janet of Hampton, Starr is also survived by his two granddaughters Laurel A. Miller and Lindsay A. Miller. He is also survived by his brother Frank P. (Shirley) Todd, his sister-in-law Joyce Todd, his brother-in-law Stuart L. (Kay) Dalzell, sister-in-law Frances Dalzell, several nieces and nephews and a host of friends – many from Todd Farm.
