Happy birthday dad. I miss you more and more everyday. I can't wait to be with you again ❤
November 10, 2017
This is Todd's cousin. I was so surprised when I saw this come up to realize how long it has been already. So hard to believe. I still hold dear all the memories of Todd and Peter, and Aunt Wotsey and Uncle Loren in the little house on that little street. I think it was MacArthur or something like that.
We all long for the day soon when we will see Todd and millions more of our loved ones again and be able to share our lives forever more with none of the problems we face today. Everyone is dealing with something, and death is a huge factor.
Linda, and everyone else who loves Todd, I am thinking of you these 11+ years later and hoping you can all hang in there until that time.
Take care.
T.W., Hudson, WI

I didn't know this was on here otherwise I would've said something earlier. I think about you everyday dad and I miss you so much. My first prom is coming up here and I wish more than anything that you would be there telling the boy to "behave or else." I pray to you every single night hoping that you hear me. I wish I could hug and laugh with you like we used to when I was young. I don't know why God had to take you away so early. There was so much more in my life that I wanted you to be a part of. I can't wait to see you again. I love and miss you with my whole heart.

Just thinking of Todd the other day and the last time I saw him in the hospital before he passed away...Then the memories started flooding forth of when we were kids. We didn't get to get together as often as would have been nice, as there was a great distance to travel. But still I can remember him in my heart and long to see him again. I pray that Linda and Amber and Taylor and everyone else who Todd loved and who loves him, will be able to keep enduring until they see him again...I hope that someone in the family reads this and that we can get in touch. Todd, we still remember and are thankful you were in our lives.........

I have never told anyone this, but a few years ago I had a dream or vision and Duck was right there in my room and all was well... Then I remembered he was no longer on earth and I asked him about it ... He smiled, turned and disappeared, Wow.. I just remembered that now... He is OK everyone.. SID

Almost at three years..... Time helps things feel better, but does not heal completely. You are all in our thoughts and prayers as we near another anniversary.
Amber, you are a truly BEAUTIFUL girl!!!!!! This is the first time I saw the pics on here. You are amazingly beautiful. I can see your mom and dad. What a beautiful creation! Email me and maybe we can get together soon. We live near cities. Take care!

The "dash" is so much more important than the dates of beginning and end. Reading the kind words and fond memories just confirms how well Todd lived his "dash". We should all be so good (as Todd) in fulfilling our dash with the love and life we seek.
Thanks Todd, the memories make me smile.
Peter, Lauren and Wotsy, I pray you find each day that the memories help you to smile more than cry.

It is so hard to believe it is going on three years since we lost Todd. I sure miss him and have many memories of him as I was growing up. He was older than me, but he and Peter were always so nice! I remember being upstairs and they let me and my little sisters come up and I remember Todd playing guitar. They always included us and made us feel like we were special. I loved him greatly, and I love my dear cousin Peter as well.
Love you, Todd.
Your cousin, Tara

I saw a Rush special on VH1 Classic last night, and it started me thinking of when Todd and I played together in Jazz band in high school, back in 81 and 82. Todd on drums and myself on the piano, and neither one of us really knowing how to actually do Jazz improvisation.
Every Friday, in our Jazz band class, we would have an "open music" day, where we had the opportunity to jam to our own selection of music, rather than the required Big Band or Jazz selections. Todd and I would, most often than not, get into heated arguments over whether it was going to be a "Rush" Friday or a "Queen" Friday. Now, no one else in the class had a say in the matter, they just knew that they'd be playing one of two choices: Rush or Queen. Ultimately, the loser in the debate, (most often me), would always end up walking out of class bugged with the other, but no matter how bugged we got with each other, we continued to remain friends as the years passed, sharing an interest in music. I will always hold the plethera of memories shared with Todd, of our Jazz band years and beyond, near to my heart. Whether it was going to Flipp gigs, going down to Ryan's Corner to check out some "big hair band" or just hanging out at the "Giffy", debating what song to play next on the juke box.
Todd was an inspiration. He lived every day as a gift and found the joys in life, no matter what life dealt. I will always remember his smiling eyes and his ability to infect all of us with laughter.
Todd: Although I still can't stand Rush to this day, I actually sat through the WHOLE VH1 Rush special last night. I smiled through the whole show, thinking of "open jam Fridays" and you.
Your friend Becky

It doesn't seem like over a year already that you've been gone. But it is still heartbreaking. Taylor spent fathers day with your mom and dad in Georgia. Uncle Pete was kind enough to escort her after he laid you to rest. Miss you and Taylor sleeps with your T-shirt every night!! Peace and Love.

July 13th - one year Todd and it still seems like it just can't be true...you are in heaven where I know God must have a grand plan for you, but it has been the saddest year of my life without you.
I know you know, but I just helped lay you to rest in beautiful Boundary Waters, Smoke and Sawbill Lakes...there were two bald eagles sitting right above our heads, two loons right next to the boat, and a walleye that seemed surprised to be taking you back into the lake with him...you were there as always...everywhere....Cousin Bryan, Smitty, Paul, and Dave were part of the trip, all missing you badly and feeling your presence everywhere.
Jaker and Brian in Webster was the next stop where we all cried and sent you on through devil's and the Yellow.
We figured you have made your way now to the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. I know I have to get you to Bemidji and Montana, which will take you to the Pacific as well...not something we ever talked about but you will be part of the oceans of the world like everything and everywhere else.
Please look after us all...your friends and family, we miss you desperately and I look forward to seeing you again brother..just not too soon, ok?
We all love you..and oh do we miss you Todd you. God do we miss you.
I love you.
Peter

Linda,
I just heard about Todd's death and cannot imagine what your going thru, the last time I talked to him, was a couple of years ago, and he told me that you were back together and I could tell in his voice how happy he was. Just remember that Todd loved you and Amber so much and that one day you will be reunited with him. We have a lot of memories, going back to the Lloyd days. You have my deepest sympathy and may god bless.

A big THANK YOU for all the kind words and prayers for Todd and our Family throughout this painful time...and the generous time spent and donations made at the Benefit.
Todd knows he was loved by many..he told me the last few days that the love and friendship he was blessed with these past few months has been one of the best things that he ever experienced in all his life...all while going through the worst thing ever in his life.
Todd was and still is a wonderful free spirit and I find myself trying to be more like him the older I get......
just BE HAPPY dammit and DON'T WORRY SO MUCH!!
and HELP PEOPLE whenever you can
and in the end, FRIENDS AND FAMILY are what matter the most....
God Bless you all. Feel free to drop me a note or a picture.
and Toddy - you know how much I love you and I know you are always with me, as I with you.

I grew up one house down from Todd. I have many fond memories of Todd playing wiffleball, football, street hockey and other games with us neighborhood kids.

My deepest sympathy for Linda and Amber, Amber your father was a sweet and loving man with a smile that could lighten any room when he came in.
I will always think of him when I hear Guns and Roses-“Paradise City”, not only did he play it very loud on the boat at Sid’s cabin - while playing the pretend drums in front of him, the verse of the song is more meaningful to me now…”Oh won’t you please take me home” Todd went home and we will all remember the good times we shared with him.
All Our Love Kim (Space) & Family
