I don't even know where to begin....I've had the honor of knowing Buddy for over 16 years...I always knew that if I really needed good solid advice, or a shoulder to cry on, or just someone to remind me that I was going to be ok, Buddy would be there...this was a good man...I am going to miss him, but I do know this....our loss is most certainly Heaven's gain....I love you Buddy Todd

We all have our God-given tasks to accomplish on this earth. Some get right down to business, doing everything God's way from the git-go! Their job is, of course, completed early in life, and they get to go 'Home' early for their reward. Then there are those of us who just don't seem to 'get it right'; and we hang around til 'Kingdom Come' as God keeps His patience and gives us always 'one more chance' Well, Buddy was a young man who got the job done, leaving deep, unfillable tracks in his path, and many friends to praise his life as he lived it! Buddy and my late husband, Judd DeWitt can resume their friendship and memorialize their love for the practice of clinical hypnosis! Enjoy your reunion, You Two; and get a home ready for us left behind. We hope to join you in Celestial Eternity.

It's twice as sad to lose a productive colleague so early. I hope his family meditates on his many friendships and strong history of care for his clients.

The many lives Buddy touched, including mine, with kindness, encouragement, or generosity, -not to mention his students and the skills he taught- are an ongoing legacy that will live indefinitely. Despite that, he is and will be greatly missed.

The soldier is not the cause of the war, the soldier is the first victim of the war. Remembering those who served...All gave some, some gave all!
It has been my privilege to have served as Buddy's Disabled American Veterans Chaplain the last five years of his life as he was a Life Member of Central Florida Chapter 16.
