I was stationed with Todd in VFA-14 in Lemoore, CA. I enjoyed our numerous talks in that small closet that was our office. Drinking at the Fallon O club or Chiefs club was always fun great times. Rest in peace Shipmate tell we meet again.

Sincerest condolences to Kristie and the entire family and very large circle of friends. I was stationed with Todd at VFA-122 in Lemoore, CA. We both rode Honda Gl1800 Goldwing Motorcycles along with Al from the Maintenance Department. One of my favorite memories are from the long loop ride we took to Cambria for breakfast, up PCH to Monterey for clam chowder and back to Lemoore through the Priest Valley twisties. "T-Bar" was a fine American and a very good man and he will be missed by many.

I´m sorry to hear of your family´s loss. Todd and I were school mates from 4th grade all the way till we graduated. And occasionally stayed in contact through all the years after. He was a good man .. he will be missed.

I never served in the same command as Todd, but we both were at NAS Fallon at the same time and worked together occasionally. As evident with his selection to LDO, he was a top shelf individual and a pleasure to work with. I pray for comfort and healing for his family. I know he has left a big whole in this world with his departure. May God bless his family.
