I was looking for a man named Todd Lappin, and found this Guestbook. I am deeply struck by the Wonderful Life a boy named Todd lived after we departed our cabin the end of summer 1946-48 at Camp Strongheart in Woodruff on Lake Tomahawk....oh, those were the days we learned about life and the world we were born into. I have never forgotten those days thanks to my many pictures captured on my Brownie camera and still view at times like this. How truly innocent, happy, a full of energy we all looked in those pics.
I would have loved to reconnect with him, but that was not in the Plans.
His life will live on as a loving benediction to those who carry the memory of his touch.........amen.

Laura and Kathy, my heart goes out to you both and your family. Todd was the best boss that I ever had the priviledge of working for. He taught me that we can run a company and have fun doing so. I have missed the times that we had together, and will always remember Lappin Electric and the wonderful Lappin family!

Farewell old friend. I remember seeing the first TV set ever in your basement rec room. I think it was mostly Tom Mix westerns, Lenny Dee 3-minute songs, and test patterns.
Always full of cheer and good humor, you were an inspiration. I will miss you and your wonderful spirit.

Dear Muriel and Family,
Your husband and father was a very special man to many of the nurses who cared for him at the UW Cancer Center. I will miss him and his visits that we had. He brought a bright smile and a hug every time he came to clinic. My thoughts and prayers to all of you. He was one of a kind and it was an honor to know and care for him.

From the very first Brewer game, to grilling brats in the kitchen and witnessing his slightly less than perfect golf swing, Todd Lappin was one of the most gracious, generous and humble men I have ever met. No favor was too small or too large for him. He went out of his way to always make me feel like I was family. I will truly miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
