I just found out about Todd´s passing and am stunned. We went to Aircrew School together in 1992 and I´m sure he was a stellar sailor. I have great memories of those times. If anyone can reach out to me on Facebook if they know what happened. Thank you and God Bless.

I met Todd in High School and we dated off and on for quite sometime. I remember him as being so sweet and kind and considerate. I remember his amazing smile, his awesome laugh and his outgoing personality. I remember his love for cars(his white Impala and his black and red Camaro)but especially his love for his family and friends. I have many wonderful memories of the time that I got to share with him and I will always cherish them. He was such an amazing person and I will never forget him. He touched the lives of so many, we were all truely blessed to have known him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, especially his two beautiful children. May God bless all of you.

Todd is one of the greatest guys I have known. He was always there to help you out when you were stuck, share a laugh when you were down, and listen when you had a problem. He was my mentor but more than that he was my friend when I really needed one. He is greatly missed.

I remember Todd coming over to our house a lot to hang out with Rich and I thought he was the COOLEST guy! He was terribly sweet to me, the annoying little sister. I will miss him greatly, his red hair, his jokes, and his incredible smile. I hope Todd's parents can find some comfort in knowing the laughs and joy he brought my whole family over the years.

May all your prayers be answered and all of your pain be wiped away as easy as our tears of sorrow for your loss. I did not know Todd, but I work with his father Bob. I know if he is half the man his father is, he is a great man and has a kind soul. Bob's face always swells up with pride when ever we discuss his family and how they are getting along. Bob is a very kind man. And you always feel like he goes out of his way to say Hi or if he can help you. Thats a rare person to find anymore, and I sure everyone of his kids are the same way. Our deepest condolences from everyone at Plaza Pontiac.
Sincerely Your Friend Bill Greve @ Co-workers.

Todd was not only my mentor but he was one of my closest friends and confidants. His passing has shook me to the core. I will never forget his smile and how we could make each other laugh over things others thought wierd. I learned more from him professionally and personally than anyone else. Thanks for all the good times Little Big Buddy and we will catch up with each other someday.

Todd (K-nuts) and I flew together in Iraq (2006). I say this with heavy heart that I will miss my crewmate, his boyish smile and genuine friendship. Todd was a great man who served his country with honor. I'm proud to have served with him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Keep it pro my friend.
