Todd W. Simonsen

Dad, You were a champion that made no compromise to the virtues, values and principles defined with every action you made. You loved your friends, family and teammates (coworkers) with and intensity that was unmatched by the 99.93% of humans one can come in contact with during one's existence on earth.

I grew up with Todd on Meadow dr. He was a couple years younger than me and I would see him in the neighborhood often. I would see him mostly in the woods hunting and exploring as we both spent a lot of time in the back country of Caledonia in Capes woods.

Many changes have occurred in my life and I frequently mention Coach Simonsen as being one of my main reasons for my success.
