Dear Barton Family,

Our deepest sympathy and condolences are with you during this sad and difficult time. Todd was an amazing young man! My son Ryan had the pleasure to play with Todd on the 2015 Boyertown Black B.R. team. Todd's leadership, respect, and positive attitude he demonstrated towards his teammates, coaches and opponents will never be forgotten. He inspired all those around him with his play, grit and demonstrated every day how to be a great teammate and friend. This wonderful spirit is part of his legacy that will continue on in all us who met and knew Todd. Your entire family and those in our community who knew Todd best are in our daily prayers.

God Bless
