Uncle Todd, you didn't just EXIST in this life, you actually LIVED it!!! I always admired your free spirit. It's so tragic that you were taken from us sooner than we expected, there were a few close calls, but you always made it through.
You were always there, when anyone needed you to be, no matter what. You had a heart of gold, especially when it came to friends and family. You will be missed more than you could imagine. I love you!
