I always loved seeing Todd and Nicki at AQ, a place where Todd and his crew would come in for their lunch break. I was so sad to hear he had passed away. I cant believe he is gone. So quick with his remarks and jokes, as his obituary says. Our thoughts and prayers are with Nicki and his children. Rest In Peace Todd- Nina and Christine

My condolences - Todd was a great friend to all of us. He was always smiling. He would come to the farm after school almost daily. I can still picture him on his BMX bike pedaling up that steep hill of a driveway we had like it was nothing, all the impromptu baseball games in the heifer field and just in general good fun.
So sorry for your loss.
