Still remain in my thoughts daily.. Gone, but very alive in my heart. I miss everything that my father is to me. The loss of a father is life changing but is multiplied with the loss of a best friend. So many life lessons gifted to me in your short time here with me, I only wish you and mom had more time to live out your dreams.
So very sorry to hear of Todd's passing. I remember him as the younger brother of my friend Andy and that he had the best "boy" toys a girl would ever want to play with - race cars and dump trucks! Sounds like he had a great life. It just ended too soon. God bless all of you. Luann Raglin Feldman
Many great memories of Todd. All the lunches, & dinners we attended. He has been a big part in helping our business succeed over the years. My wife, always liked the "bling" she got from him at the hospitality suites we attended at conventions. RIP Todd, you will be missed. Bruce Jones Allied Equipment Rental
First and last road trip! I think it was October of 2014 (might have been 2016), just before that December when the health issues set in. Todd picked me up at the shop and we headed to Michigan City to pick up an air compressor and get the plant tour. On the way back (lunchtime) we stopped in at Four Winds for "lunch"! After a bite to eat we looked around for just the right slot machines-found them! Some sort of Egyptian sphinx machine (I never would have picked it), but Todd 'had a feeling', and he wasn't wrong! Then back on the road to Kalamazoo. $20 richer!!! To Todd's children: Your dad was the best. Miss him, love him, keep talking to him...He's there for you within your soul. My most sincere condolences, Regan Fader (Fader Equipment, Kalamazoo)
Uncle Todd, the "Boat Master", to Emily Ann. He always made sure she got her boat ride or two, letting her take the wheel and teaching her the joy of "jamming" it and going fast. Emily loves the thrill of a fast boat ride to this day thanks to Uncle Todd. Always one of the first to tell her hello and quick with a tease or joke. Everything a wonderful Uncle should be. You are loved Uncle Rubber Butt!
Vera and Family- I am sorry to see of Todds passing. He would peak his head in and say hi when he was in- always had a smile. Thinking of you all at this sad time. Carolyn
Todd will be missed by all of us. A genuine guy with a will of stone. Rest in Peace! Jon Hudson
I remember loud fireworks, small model planes and tons of laughter. Uncle Todd has a way to make every comment feel comical, it's a sweet trait he passed down to his children.
I miss you.
