Todd was our delivery driver at Hy-Vee. He always greeted everyone by name and lit up the place with his smile and laugh. He had the best stories of the “good ol days”. When he got a twinkle in his eye you knew you were in for a good story or joke! He was a great guy, the highlight of my day most days! I truly miss him! Rest easy Todd.
