7 yrs. Hard to believe. I miss his humor and his friendship. I miss chatting with him about the Buckeyes. He would not have done well with the loss this year. I hope to hear from Deb sometime and catch up. I hope she is doing well.

Drove down Bayberry a few weeks back and saw the OSU sticker on your mailbox. All the memories came back in an instant. Miss you buddy. Larry

I think of Todd often. Every time I see Ohio State and drive by the Van Wert exit I remember him. I can´t believe 5 yrs have passed!
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. I still have your number in my phone. It´s been disconnected of course. I hope that Deb will call me to check in.
Thx.

Wow. 4 years. Miss ya. Wonder if Michigan is going to say they can’t play next week because of the virus?
It would be the only way they could stop us from going forward in this unprecedented year. Miss ya a bunch. Was just thinking about you recently.
I hope Deb and family are well.

Miss ya Todd. Wish you could have watched the buckeyes with me last weekend. I hope you are enjoying the games from heaven. Hope they win the national championship.

My sympathies to Todd's family. My favorite memory is during a JV football at Van Wert High School, Todd was playing quarterback. He tried to run the ball to the right and had to run all the way to the sideline, he then reversed field and ran all the way to the other sideline, turned and ran back the other way eventually finding his way to the endzone. We all went crazy and I still remember how tired he looked when he went to the bench. Even though I haven't seen Todd for many years, I feel a real sense of loss. May God's presence bring comfort to all of Todd's family & friends

I will miss you Todd. As a doctor I received way more benefits from you as you did as my patient. I really learned about loving life and all that matters in this world. Your zest for life was unmatched. You survived may obstacles that would have taken many others down. You really had 9 lives and I was always happy to see you survive and live life to the fullest! I loved the family updates and all that we had to share with each other.
I always loved seeing you in the office and bantering about the buckeyes. Thank you for your friendship and all the many ways you touched my heart. We became great friends in our relationship and I will miss the many Ohio State Texts and the many updates I would receive from you regarding our team. I love you man and will always remember you when I look at the Ohio State flag. I appreciate all that you have done for me as a doctor and friend. My only regret is that you did not get to see the buckeyes win the next championship with me. You will be missed but never forgotten. Thank you for welcoming me into your life.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine what you will be going through.

Wow. This totally caught me of guard. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Debbie, Josh, and Katie.

I will always remember Todd helping me with the cedar fence and our fishing trip to Lake Mitchell in Cadillac.

I still tell the story of the day Michigan played OSU at the horseshoe and Todd was there (of course) and a small group of us marched down to the McFarland house and turned the buckeye flag upside down in the rain while Debbie took our picture to give to Todd when he got home.

Much, much too young. God must have needed a true buckeye at his table.

Rest in peace my friend.
