Roy C. Todd, a former coal miner who brought joy to countless local residents during the 35 years his family owned the former White Swan Park on the border of Findlay and Moon, died Sunday at his daughter's home in Mesa, Ariz. He was 95. His wife died in 1985, around the time they realized the park stood in the way of a planned expressway to the expanded airport.
