To the Winkelman family...words cannot come close to describing the sorrow I have for your loss. Todd had an amazing spirit and was a kind, gentle soul. There are very few times I can remember Todd without a smile on his face. He was passionate for the things he loved. Those of us who were fortunate enough to have called him a friend have a large void to fill in our hearts. He was a great friend to so many. I will miss Todd immensely.
