Todd, was a very close and very loved family friend. He was also a very special person who's friendship will be missed by many. My condolences to his family and all who had the pleasure in knowing him.

My condolences to the family; my prayers are with you. Todd and I played baseball together at Busch, and were always able to make each other laugh at Southwest. As we prepared for the 30th reunion, I remembered that I hadn't emailed Todd in about a year and I thought that it was time to contact him. It broke my heart to hear that we had lost him. Although we were not in each other's every day lives, we remained connected. I will miss him.

I just found out today about Todd's untimely death. My condolences to his family. I will keep Todd and his family in my thoughts and prayers. I didn't know him well, but Todd was always very helpful to me and my family as Weber customers. He was a really good person and a pleasure to do business with.

My uncle Todd was a hero.
I was never extremely close to him as was so many other people but i knew he was always there if i ever needed something or wanted a great laugh.
Between Christmas and New Years eve those days will never be the same. We always knew it was time to open presents when Uncle Todd&Aunt Cindy got there or at new years when he gave us real pots and pans to bang and have us anoy the whole house.
My uncle Todd touched so many hearts and lives that its so hard to let him go. We all want to ask why? how? what was god thinking? or we all can be angry with God. Thats how i was. But as time as come along i have learned that it was just his time to go.
My unlce Todd has become my hero. He took life as it came. He never sweated the same stuff and would always hold a smile on his face no matter what. He had passion for so many things if i only had one hobby. He would make you feel good about yourself and make sure you were doing okay or you were fine . . even if he just had the worset day of his life.
Now he is beside his dad(my grandpa)and my dad in heaven watching over all of us.
and i can say now i have one more guardian angel to watch over me.
And i have found a true hero in life and im so happy to say he is my hero and my uncle.
There is never a right time to say goodbye..but always remember its never goodbye its see you later.
XO i miss you uncle Todd and you will never be forgotten, always in our hearts will you live!

Where do you even begin? I may not have even been alive as long as some of these other people have known Todd, but he meant a great deal to me too. After my father passed away, he was there for us. There were many people who came out of the woodwork in our time of need, but some just stand out more than others. Todd was my uncle, but more like a second father. He was one of the two people who got me into the St. Louis Blues hockey team. He amazed me in the fact that he always had that grin on his face regardless what the situation was. He was one of the few people in this world that could always make you smile no matter what. He went out of his way to find out how you were doing that day even if his day may have not been the greatest. He was passionate about his hockey team, his collectables, and his family. His memory will live on forever in our minds and hearts. I felt selfish that God took him when he did because I wanted him here with us, but I think I've come to learn that life is just too unpredictable and we should be happy for every day that we have. Todd seemed to live every moment to the fullest and we should to. Blues games will never be the same looking over to section 313. Calling to find out the movies times at 822-CINE will just make me smile because its his way of still talking to me in that hell of voice he had. Many people's lives were touched by my uncle, mine too. I will always love you uncle Todd. While your up in heaven, try to help the Blues bring home a cup (we need all the help we can get right now).You will never be forgotten.Forever you will be missed. Thanks for selling me the truck and for all the memories. See you in the future. LETS GO BLUES!!!

My deepest sympathy to Todd's family. I knew Todd about 15 to 20 years ago when I worked with him at KSGM-AM in Ste. Gen Missouri. No matter what, he was always upbeat, energetic and had a great sense of humor. He loved the STL Blues and reading about the alternative music scene long before it was popular. You will be missed, but your voice will go on forever!

I have known Todd for over 30 years. We worked together partied together and laughed together.
I was an usher at his wedding when he Married his beautiful wife Cindy. I remember how honored I felt when he confided in me, the night before his wedding about being nervous. He helped me with my troublesome teenage brother. He helped me set him down and chose some goals in life. He was also a Pall-bearer when my Mother passed.
Words cannot describe how I felt about him. He was like my brother. He loved his job and his Family. Always talking about his wife and kids. The pride in his voice when he spoke about them. I was kind of envious of him. He loved the radio business and He loved his blues.
Todd and his family has helped me in many ways, when I was in times of trouble. If they wasn't giving me a car, they was lending me money to make my house payment. Never worrying if he would get the money back.
He is and always will be deeply missed by many people and friends. I can just be thankful to know. When my day comes, and I stand before the glorious gates. Todd will be standing there ready to say "Hi I'm Todd Big T little odd". Never lossed Always Blessed

Ola! That's the way Todd would greet us at work everyday. Todd always had a funny story and a smile for everyone. Of course, with his incredible, booming voice, you could hear him all over the building! When we'd see him in the hallway, we'd say, "Hey, player" or "Play on, player" and Todd would just nod and smile, "that's right" or "Shoot the puck!" He'd be in the kitchen first thing every morning, making his beloved coffee, and then he'd carry 3 or 4 mugs of blazing hot coffee down the steps to co-workers, sometimes having to go back upstairs to get his own coffee. If Todd brought lunch, so did you. With a loud, resounding "ME-E-E-EAT!", he would open his small, metal St. Louis Blues kids lunchbox and pull out an entire cow or pig, all "Q'ed up from the homestead". As if it wasn't amazing enough that he could fit all that food in that tiny lunchbox, he would down it all in 30 seconds, and keep us laughing all at the same time. He was always generous and giving, always the first to help with anything. The articles he wrote for our newsletters reflect his intelligence, wit, and his own unique way of taking any story and making you feel like it was your own personal experience. Todd was also very kind and thoughtful. At Christmas time he was all about the kids. He took the time to go around to each person he worked with and shake their hand or give them a hug and wish them a happy holiday. Todd didn't just show up for work, he brought his heart and soul with him and he will be greatly missed, not just as a co-worker, as a dear friend. I don't think I'll ever meet someone like him again. I'm very grateful for the time that I've known him. To his family and friends, you have my deepest sympathy. I will miss him dearly and never forget him. Play on, Todd.

I met Todd a couple of years ago. He would attend the Seckman Ice Hockey games without even having a player on the team. Then a year later I met him. He talked my son Kyle into playing roller hockey. He gave Kyle all of the confidence that he needed since playing roller was different than ice. I will miss those times of hearing him say "Hit the Net". I will remember all of the times before the ice hockey games where he would go out of his way to come over and say hi. He was a great person and will be missed by many.

I have known Todd for 10 years. He was one of the most true friends I have ever had and I will miss him terribly.
I know that God recieved one heck of a hockey fan and a great guy! Next time you hear a thunder clap, know that Todd just told a joke up in heaven and all the angels are laughing! Our loss is heaven's gain.
We will hold our great thoughts of Todd close to our hearts.

Todd genuinely cared about the boys we coached on the high school hockey team. He attempted to have them understand that giving everything they have is the most important part of not just the game of hockey, but in all of life as well. We will use his "Hit the net!" as our salute to him before each game this season. We will all miss him and are all thankful we had the opportunity and honor to meet him and get to know him. Thank you Todd.

We meet Cindy and Todd when they lived in Ste. Genevieve, Todd was a disc jockey at the local radio station. He had the greatest voice you ever heard on the radio. I won a couple of tickets to the Fox theatre from the local radio station one year, I'm sure Todd had something to do with it. He was a GREAT GUY, he will be missed.

A better friend a man never had. Todd was the best. He will always be in my heart because he is a part of who I am. So many memories and miles together. He always had a positive attitude and a good word to say. He will be missed dearly by all. But I don't mourn as those with no hope. I know I will see my friend again when it's my time to make that journey. Don't despair for long. Todd wouldn't want it that way. Celebrate his life for his spirit lives on!
Till we meet again old friend. I will love you forever.
