Not sure what to say?

I was headed for the beach house that was to be Todd's wedding venue, not expecting to it to be so chilly. I had not dressed warmly enough. I ran into Todd headed the same way with a hot cup of coffee in his hand. I claimed it , although he willingly surrendered it. He probably needed it more than I did!

Todd was a great friend from our days in Tarrytown NY. He invited me to his families Thanksgiving & Xmas dinners. Todd was just a wonderful and lovely person. Love you Todd.

Dear Shannon and Family,
My deepest condolences to you and your family.
I was friends with Todd back in High School, and for a period when he traveled out West to Santa Cruz. I remember him as a free spirit with that great big smile. I will remember him fondly.
Peace to you,
Monica (Tenney) Pagani

Shannon my heart breaks for you. Todd was a friend of my husband Jeff Robinson, who recently suffered a hemorrhagic stroke due to glioblastoma multiforme, an aggressive brain tumor. Before the emergency procedure I was told he would probably die, even with the surgery. I experienced such anguish, weakness, fear in those few minutes after learning his prognosis. My heart is with you and prayers going out for you to have peace, strength and resiliency, and that you are able to place your energy into memories of Todd's good, good life. Much love, Marti

Todd was my mentor when I started working for Metrocall, we worked the same shift and soon after, we built a Friendship that I will never forget. His smile is well known, so was his love of music and especially his wife Shannon. We are sadden to hear Todd passing, our prayers to Shannon and Vilardi family. Todd, I remember our long daily conversations and the friendship we have.

Even though I didn't know Todd very well, I feel so fortunate to have been able to attend a couple of Imaginary's shows. Listening to the album makes me want to thank everyone I know who creates and shares art in Todd's circle. You are all very dear to me and make Pensacola a very special place. I know Todd will be missed and remembered.

To the friends and family of Todd, your influence whether big or small contributed to his psyche, thus his excellent work. I wish all of his family and friends (especially Shannon) love, respect, and peace.

I had not seen Todd in 20+ years but I still felt a great sense of loss upon hearing of his passing this week. I think it's a testament to Todd's enduring spirit that my memories of him still feel so fresh. We were close childhood friends who used to play ‘army' together in his backyard and later shared similar musical tastes. Somehow, someway, I always thought I would see Todd again to share a fond memory, enjoy a good laugh and probably play some good music. The realization now that that will never happen leaves me with great sorrow.

I was shocked and so sad when I learned about Todd passing away. He was a kind and funny guy and I enjoyed working with him very much. The smile on his face in the photo is just the way I see him when I remember him. My prayers are with you Shannon and Family.
Blessings, Gail Banks

Shannon and the Vilardi family,
In this time of loss and sadness know that Todd was such a special kind of friend. I met him while working at Metrocall and soon realized how bright, creative, and caring he was about everything. He made me think big and although we lost touch after we left Metrocall, there aren't many days that Todd doesn't wander through my mind via some obscure song or quote. I will miss you my friend. My prayers go out to you.

I worked with Todd at USA Mobility for years and he was a very unique and wonderful person! He always doted on his wife and his neices and nephews. That little smirk that he would get on his face when he would speak of you all let us know how special you all were to him. I am truly sorry for your loss and you all will be in my prayers.
