I know Todd from being with friends, and him coming to the shortstop. He was quick with the one liners, and always seemed happy when i saw him. So many people loved him, more than i think he realized. I know everyone will miss him so much! I did not know him for many, many years, but that does not make me miss him any less! My thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in his life.

The world will be an emptier place without Todd in it. He always cared about everybody and would do anything for anyone. I remember when Cameron was a few days old Todd came over to see her.You should have seen the huge smile he got on his face when he held her. He looked down at Cameron and said, "you can call me uncle Todd". What a special guy who will be so missed and was so loved by so many......... Kim Helgeson Jim Jordan and Cameron
