I played end against Todd in high school. He was not a little guy and all I could handle. So sorry to hear of his passing

My first memory of Todd was likely him providing the voice of God or singing at church when I was growing up. I've never known a world without him in it. He was the best kind of family, (not blood) but the kind you choose. He will be missed but never forgotten because he was one of a kind.

He was like a second dad to me along with my good friend Barb his wife of 34 years. Todd was a gentle kind soul. Love you Todd I'll see you again.
