Dear Ben and Family,
We are so sorry to hear of your father's passing. We had so many great memories of him and you and your Mom when you had your cottage in Lexington. All the great get togethers and the fireside chats and stories. He was such a great story teller. He was a good man, who you should be so proud to have had as your father. We hope your memories of him will bring you comfort during this difficult time.

Quirky, smart, loud, and fun... with the biggest heart you'll ever know. I have known Todd since I was 19. I met him through his brother, Chad. We had many great times together. Michigan and Lions football games were always enjoyable, as were weekend trips to Canada, a few rugby trips, and countless lake outings. I can say Todd was both a friend and a brother. I'll miss you, Todd (Toad).

I met Todd in high school. Literally one of the nicest people I´ve ever met. We ran into each other years ago, had coffee together and reminisced. It was like no time passed by at all. My sincere condolences to his family. We lost a true friend. Rest peacefully, Todd. You will truly be missed.
