"May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you
In the palm of his hand."

What more can be said.

Todd had such a great sense of humor. Also so willing to help out where needed. After working with him for the past 5 years I'll miss his smile, laughter and kindness.

In our short time as friends, you were able to make a huge difference. There are not too many like you and your journey was not long enough. I will always wonder if I gave you as much as you bestowed to me. Fair winds and following seas...

I will miss driving up and or away and seeing you chain-smoking in front of the building. Or standing in-between the buildings with Shalinee and Reizo. I will miss our fighting like an old married couple. I worried about you always. You were so smart and witty and had so much knowledge about the State. I was looking forward to working with you in a different capacity. I wish i had been more patient with you, RIP my friend..

I worked with Todd at CSA. I always admired his great organizational skills and always his great wit. He was always quick to lend a hand and wonderfully put up with strange "techie" coworkers. I will truly miss him.

I worked with Todd at OCJP.

It's hard to believe he is gone. I always will remember Todd for his sense of humor. The first time I met him, he unzipped his pant legs to show off his shorts. He was a funny guy!

Helen Carriker

September 2, 2009

I knew Todd from OCJP. He always made me smile.

Todd - I think I laughed for hours hearing the story about all of you guys hiking the Canyon and the ripped shorts.

How many of my staff did you date? They ALL were in love with you.
You will be missed.

When I first met Todd, he told me about taking his mom to the movies over the weekend. He often spoke of her and I will always remember that about him. Barbecues and celebrations here at CSA will not be the same without him. My condolences to all his friends and family.

Todd was my first boss when I entered state service, and made a big impression on me. He was kind, funny, considerate and smart. He brought sarcasm and wit to the office, always making sure we had a little fun. He was a special person, and I am very saddened by his passing. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

My thoughts and prayers are with Todd's family and friends during this difficult time. May your memories bring you comfort. I worked with Todd many years ago at OCJP and hadn't seen him in years. I just ran into him about 6 months ago and enjoyed talking about the past and getting current with each other. Todd was a wonderful person and I know will be missed by many. God bless to you all.

My condolences to the Brownings and all relations. Todd was a great friend and roomate. I lived with his brother Bob. We were in the band Odysus. I interduced Bob to his present wife who I worked with at CRC. We lived together until I moved in with Todd. He was like the absentee roomate because he was in love with Cris and spent all of his time at her apartment. I said why don't you just move in but he wanted to keep his space even if he wasn't there. He and chris introduced me to my future wife Pam. We have a beautiful son that we owe to Todd and Chris. So Todd you are someone I will never ever forget. I thank you for introducing me to the best part of my life. God will welcome you with open arms cause you have a good heart.
I love you Bro!

To Todd's family and friends:
Todd was a good person who had a great heart. Once you became his friend, it seemed like he was there if you ever needed him. he was a great boss and a friend that would always help you in a pinch. Todd, may God bless you.

Todd was the kind of guy everybody liked to have around. He was always upbeat, kept you on your toes, and was always good for a laugh. Always trying to bluff you playing poker, I will remember the good times forever. Rest in peace brother.

My deepest and most sincere condolences are extended to Todd's family and friends. I remember the times when he a I would go round and round with some philosophical program strategy at OCJP in either the ADA or JJDP programs. But on our "smoke breaks", we reset to zero and chilled together. He put you at ease with being "different". Became a good boss too!Words cannot express what a loss this is to me personally and to scores of people who truly cared for him! You can rest now "Your Toddly-ness"!(He knows who I'm talking to)

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. As Sterling mentioned, Todd was a wonderful part of our lives. Sean and Peter adored him and his humor. We had such great times at the OCJP picnics, softball games and conferences, and how fun were Todd and Chris's Christmas parties! I'm so sorry we lost touch. He will never be forgotten by our family! Love you Todd.

Sterling O'Ran

My sincere condolences go out to Todd's family and friends. Todd was so much a part of our lives, though some years ago. Over the years I would simply mention his name and my children would smile. We had many wonderful times together at OCJP, and just hanging out together. There are stories to tell of poker games, hiking the Grand Canyon, playing golf and just being playful with one another. What a marvelous wit!!! I always told him when I saw him..."alot of people love you Todd." I hope he left knowing that fact. My life is better for having known Todd and I hope he is at peace.

Todd,
Some of my favorite memories as a little kid are of the times you hung out with my mom and Gary because it was always a treat to get to see you. You always made me laugh and treated me like a person and not a child, even though I WAS a child. It had been YEARS since I'd seen you, but those memories will always be cherished. The world is a little less hilarious without you--but heaven just got a whole lot moreso. Rest in peace, bud.

Pam David

August 29, 2009

Todd, I remember Bag End in Jenner and flying kites on the beach, SCC classes at night waiting for Chris, meeting your room mate, my future husband, in 1982, coming to know your family and friends, all wonderful people. I still get embarrassed when I think about your taking me to the dressing room to meet the band and they were changing their clothes, duh! You are a kind and gentle soul. I hope you have found peace. May your family and friends find peace as well.

Ginger Wolfe

Toddley - I will always remember the golden mushroon, man! We had some great times that I will treasure forever. I know you're at peace now, but I still wish you were here. Tell Jerry I said hi and ask him "Where's Crystal's truck?" You'll always be one of the most special in my life and I'll miss you forever. Crystal
