My brother, Dan Rausch, just sent me the notice of Todd's death. While I haven't seen him for years, he and I spent lots of time together in the summers, playing badmiton, chess and cards as we were neighbors. My thoughts of summer will be different now. Pattye Rausch Whisman, MD, Granville, Ohio

Judy, when I heard of Todd’s death I began thinking of how many times we have lost friends and family from the old neighborhood. Too many for sure, but each loss triggers the memories of growing up and the fun and being a boomer in the fifties. With Todd, Steve, Lee, Tom and the other kids on Greenhouse wed’ play baseball in the back yard, with our dad hitting us fly balls. Roger was always over tinkering with the pool. Todd and Lee could care less…they’d slither away to play cards and take each other’s allowances (Todd’s was always bigger). We competed for neat toys..I had a motor scooter..Roger bought Tommie one just like it the next day..Tough to compete with the rich kids..but no one cared..We were like one big family. We’d walk into each others homes like they were our own, Ruth and Bea would feed all of us, watch us and make sure we were safe, healthy and stayed out of trouble. One time the boys, Lee, Todd and Steve.(each over 5 years older than Tom and me) were playing with a .22 rifle, carelessly shooting it near the smaller kids. I tattled and Bea raced out to the back yard, grabbed it from the “shooter and smashed it, holding the barrel, over the big rock between our yards, in front of all the kids. Back then, tough love meant something.
Halloween was really cool. Todd and Lee were the ringleaders, each year coming up with a more audacious way to seek the attention of the Richards girls. Since cars were always left unlocked, Tom and I were taught at an early age by our mentors the fine art of sticking Harry’s car horn. Usually we were sent to do the dirty work so the Boys could safely watch at a distance, hoping the beautiful girls would appear. Like no one knew who did it…Todd…tell Lee how busted you two were..I don’t think he ever knew it.
Todd was the cool kid with the neat car and the really cool job. He was a camp counselor and he had a convertible. To Tom and me…attendees at the camp..we had instant status and could ride with Todd to break away from camp to get some real food. Ice cream probably…no McDonalds yet..
Todd and Lee were so alike. Self assured, confident , secure in their belief that they were never wrong and gone so fast after their final ailment appeared. Too few of us had a chance to say good by. But rest assured Toddy, Steve and I will always be here for Judy and Tom to help them through this. Say hi to our friends and family and find a good game of cards for you and Lee. Phil Langer

Todd Walker

In passing, I saw him drive by
In a powder blue Caddy, with perfect white cap.

Over years of handshakes
and wishes of cheer
Not one word, not ever
was harsh or with fear.

In mornings of snowfalls
In Summers worst heat,
This man among friends
Gave a life most complete

His gentle wife Judy, tonight
I held close, as love
flowed around us, so lovely a host.

His sons, and his brother,
His friends Bill and Todd
Showed well to the children
Showed well to our God.

I took off my tie
And slipped off my shoes
Tonight I came home
With peace draped in Blues

And when on some Tuesday
I know that I'll stare
Down that old hall
And look for Todd there

Some people in life
In yours and in mine
Will swirl around promises
Dripped in sweet wine

But when the road ends
And the trip is just miles
You'll look back and search
For just one of Todd's smiles.
