I worked with Todd at the GAL Program in Tampa. He made every day a positive one. In a realm of frequent disappointment and bleak reality, Todd's ceaseless humor and charm were a desperately needed beacon of light. He was my "partner in crime" for a number of elaborate practical jokes, and he was always willing to go along with a funny gag. He was one of the smartest people I've ever met, with an uncanny ability to map out what foes and allies alike would do six or seven moves out. He was so very dedicated to fighting for kids who didn't have anyone else looking out for them. I was privileged to have been in his company for even a short time. The world has lost one of its genuinely talented, caring, classy gentlemen. Today the world is a little drabber, a little more dismal, a little less hopeful. But despite the fact that my heart is broken for his family, and for the fact that the world will no longer benefit from his many talents, I am nonetheless grateful for having known Todd, for I truly believe that I am a better person for it. May God bless his wife and sons during this impossibly difficult time.

I came to know Todd first as a GAL volunteer and then a staff member. Todd was an exceptional advocate for children. His passion for helping others, his kind heart and his steadfast work ethic made him a valuable advocate. He changed the lives of countless children and enriched everyone who knew him. But more than that, he was an exceptional friend. I will miss him more than he knew, but heaven is a bit brighter now.
