So very sorry to learn of Todd's passing. Great memories of so many wrestling matches where VVS was about to lose and it was Todd's turn in the heavyweight match... and he always seemed to pull us through. I was thrilled to connect with Todd quite a few years later in Camden. A good, solid man who I'm privileged to have known. RIP my friend - you did the Class of '77 proud.

Todd was an inspirational member of the Roman Runners and humbled us all with his marathon accomplishments. His enthusiasm for running was infectious and our club will miss him dearly.

We want to send our sincere sympathy to the whole family. Todd was a great guy and will be missed. I know that Mom always appreciated when he would visit her on the farm and they would talk the afternoon away after he took a walk on the flats. I''''m sorry we hadn''''t kept in touch and our thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
Mary and Lenny

So very sorry to hear of Cousin Todd''s passing. Our deepest sympathy to his family. Todd was one of the best.... calm mannered, never an unkind word and always willing to assist others. He helped our Mom (his Aunt Mary) more than he ever knew when she suddenly found herself living alone. She told me soon after Dad passed away.. "If I need anything, Todd said to just give him a call".. and she did. He typified the phrase "just a great guy"... RIP.......

A picture of Todd in Fargo North Dakota with us. One of the many marathons Todd had completed. Todd had run 40 marathons and countless other races. We had such a great time. He was a wonderful guy. He got me back up and running after I broke my ankle. We did long runs together and he would talk me through them every step of the way. Sadly, he will be missed. |
