Cheri, there are no words we could say to make the pain go away but know our prayers go from our home to yours. Todd was your sole mate and you will see him again someday. He has great company!!! Wish we were there. XOXOXOX

Like Thoreau, Todd was at "home" in nature, God's world. He understood that "Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads" which may explain his love of Cedar Mountain, his passion for hunting, and his joy on the water. Go home to God now, tender Todd, and be at peace. We'll miss you every day, but will know you're close each time the owl hoots; he's calling as I write this. Goodbye, our friend. ~ Love, LaRay and Victor Biziewski

My family sends its deepest sympathies to the entire Britton family. Although I grew up in Venice and knew of the Britton's family business for years I never had the opportunity to personally know the family, that is, until my family moved in next to Todd and Cheri about 8 yrs ago. I have been blessed with great people living beside me. My family has come to know Todd and Cheri as friends and they have always made us feel welcome from the time our kids were in diapers to now running around the yards at ages 7 and 9. Todd was never stuffy or worried about an inquisitive child or dog showing up unannounced, in fact, he would encourage it. The value of having the piece of mind that your neighbors are genuinely good down to earth people who keep an eye out for you is unmeasurable in todays world. Cheri - my family is saddened for your loss and the loss of a great friend/neighbor, but more than anything we are thankful for the time we were fortunate to have with Todd

I've known Todd since elementary school, and was shocked to hear about his passing. I've always enjoyed speaking with him when our paths would cross, and found him to be a valuable participant in his commmunity. Our thoughts and prayers go to his family.
