Mink Family, I was so shocked and sad to hear the news of Todd. I worked with him for a few year at Ground Round and we became fast friends. I lost touch with him a few years back and just recently found out the loss. My prayers and thought are with you and your family at this time. He was a good friend and a great person. God bless to all of you.

the loss of a friend, a father, an uncle, a nephew, a brother, a son... Thirty four years old, seemed like life had just begun. A brand new son, and a brand new life, I don't understand now, why you're way up high. Heaven your home now, angels your family, were happy that your happy, sitting pain free..the life you lived was wonderful; you gave us love and care. the holidays, the picnics, you'll still always be there. in our hearts, in our minds, in our dreams and prayers, we know you'll be above saying, you be good down there, the future will be tough, without you by our sides. we'll do our best to stay strong, not shed a tear or cry. but only smile and joke about the times we used to have. The joy, love, happiness, trust, such virtues in a man, a taking is unjust...departing us too early, but at peace at last. you came upon the heavens gates, and god just let you pass. we'll meet again one day, one day way afar, but for now, I love you Todd, I see your shining star.

I would like to thank everyone for showing your support. It is nice to know that when it comes down to it, the people you love most will always be there for you. Todd will always be in our prayers and I know he's smiling down on us.

Our thoughts and prayers to Nadine, Mike and Family. Hold onto Memories as they are forever in your heart.
We were Todd's neighbor and he was a different person since Carter was born. I remember when Trevor was afraid of going to kindergarten and he went in his house and found a picture of himself in front of our house waiting for the bus when he was little. He gave that to Trevor...and told him not to be scared.......God Bless your family and little Carter.

I just can't believe it, it hasn't sunk in yet. Even though we watched him go through this fight with a couragous battle the war was lost. I can remember wheels plus, and caswells duplex, the path and the park around the corner.
Time has passed and we have grown but memories only fade never go away. Todd will be missed greatly by a lot of people. I feel for all of you, the family knowing what it is like to lose someone too soon in life is hard but even harder knowing that we are left here to feel the loss.
Todd if there was anything that I could say to you it would be no regrets.......
