Todd Arbogast Obituary

Todd Lawrence Arbogast, a lifetime resident of the South Bay, passed away in Torrance, CA on Saturday September 4th, after a 6 year battle against liver cancer. Raised in Palos Verdes, Todd had just celebrated his 59th birthday with family and friends before he passed. A loving father and devoted friend, Todd was an avid golfer, a wine connoisseur, an enthusiastic traveler, a lifelong beachgoer, and at all times - a practical joker. Todd is survived by his two children, Ryan Todd Arbogast and Joanie Michelle Arbogast and was preceded in death by his parents Glenn and Helen Arbogast and his sister Joy Theiss. In what we believe would have been his final wishes, we will celebrate the life of Todd Arbogast by hosting a Memorial Gathering at 410 W Walnut Ave, El Segundo on Sunday, September 12th starting at 4pm. In lieu of flowers, it is requested that his favored charity, the USC/Norris Cancer Hospital or your own charity, be considered. Please sign the guestbook at www.dailybreeze.com/obits.

Mr. Arbogast's Family:
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. May the scriptures comfort you and give you hope and strength. Psalm 34:18--"God is near to those that are broken-hearted; and those that are crushed in spirit he saves." You are in my prayers.

In the 20 years I knew Todd, there was never a shortage of laughter. Todd was more than a "vendor" to me, although that's how I first met him. Golf outings with Todd will be remembered as some of the most enjoyable rounds I ever played, even losing side bets was fun!

Todd had a kind heart, we spoke often of caring for our aging fathers, and he shared highlights of his children's lives.

He was truly one of the good guys, my wife Linda and I send our heartfelt condolences to his family.

We'll miss you Todd,
