Well Todd here we are, just a year later. I cannot believe how quickly it went. I still miss you just as much as I did last year. This is something I'm pretty sure won't change. There are just a few people that come along in life that can touch the true inner soul of another. You were one of those people to me.

Thank you for the friendship you have shown me. I will never forget you, or all of the many things that you did for me and my family. The kids still miss you,, Todd. Abbey still talks about you to this day. You meant an awful lot to that little girl. I know she would love to have you 'get her all worked up' like you always did, just to hear her go off on you! teehee..(it's a gift she got from me) ~snicker~

Anyhow, Todd. Know that I think of you often and miss your more than what I could ever say here, or anywhere for that matter. I carry you with me daily in my heart.

I love you,

Jen

Well it’s coming up on a year now since you left us, some days it seems like a lifetime ago and others it seems like yesterday, but it doesn’t change the fact that I miss you the same today as I did the day you left. I treasure all of the memories that you left me with. I am so thankful to have those. I miss coming out to Donnelsville and pulling up in your muddy ass yard to visit you and your family.Yeah yeah , I know the yard was only muddy cause we all wouldnt keep our cars out of your grass.... Every time I drive down 70 it is all I can do not to get off on route 4 to come to your house. I miss coming out there so much. I miss our Sundays cruising around in the convertible with Helen crammed in the backseat and you teaching me how to get around Springfield. I do pretty good now thanks to you!! I know this has been a hard year on all of us. Todd I hope you can see now how much we all loved you and how deeply you touched us. I know you used to question that from time to time. Bet you never ever imagend how much you were loved, did ya??

A year ago, I thought I would never be complete again, because when you left us, you took a piece of me with you... but what I've learned in the last year is that in it's place, you left a piece of you.
Thanks, Todd, darlin'... for the memories, the laughter, and the friendship... and for sharing that piece with me.
I hope we'll always feel the love...

Things have never sounded the same with out you here, you are missed by so many for all of your talents that you possessed. Your were fun to be around, you had a knack for making us all laugh, a knack for being a ***** but most of all you a missed as a friend. LEE

Dear Todd, I met you quite a few times and you were always able to make me laugh. You are truly a wonderful man who loved his wife and children. You and your family will always be in my prayers!!!! To Helen I know you will probably remember me when I say you really got to know my friend in I at Old Town Tavern when HS was playing on Wednesday night. Remember Ruth and Kim who just graduated from nursing school. You probably heard it at least 100 times from Ruth that night, but we all really hit it off and from there on out we came to just about every performance in Springfield. I am truly sorry for you and your children's loss. I almost lost my husband in October of 2004 and I can't imagine having to go on without the love of my life. If you ever need anything please feel free to e-mail me with your e-mail address and I will send you my phone number through that. I hear to lend a helping hand or an open heart for support.

Love to You, Todd, and the Children

I didn't know Todd, Helen or their children. But I do know that he is very loved and Helen and the kids have a wonderful support system. May peace and love be with you during this trying time.

Todd, You know how I am. So I'll get right to it. I miss you!! You will ALWAYS be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope to see you up there.Love Always and Forever, Barbie

I first met Todd along with the gang from HS at the 19th. Hole, I got to DJ for them a few weekends. I had a blast every time they were there. After that I would call Todd and get his advice about my DJ setup. He was always willing to lend a hand and an ear, any time you needed it. We will miss you Todd at R&R Entertainment and thanks alot for all the help you have given me to get my sound just right. You Are The Best! Best wishes to all of Todds Family & to all the HS friends & family.

I want to thank you Todd. Thank you for falling in our lap, bringing us all together, and making us your family. Thank you for taking care of us and being our go-to guy for everything. Thanks for telling us when we suck and when we rock when we needed to hear it. You were the only one that would. I'm not sure what the future brings for us as a band but if and when we get back on the horse, if you could watch out for us and throw us one of your "you guys sound like ****" signs...that would be great. Thanks for being there when I proposed to my wife in you basement and thanks for being there when I married her. I still can't swollow the fact that you're gone...this hurts more than it ever has before. Every time our birthday rolls around, I'll raise one up high and kick it back hard for you...allright, allright, allright. Keep it rizzle Todd, wherever you are, just make sure you keep it rizzle. I will always love and remember you. Thank you.

our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Todd, I am both honored and humbled to have known you. Your smile was a blessing to all that had the chance to see it. But to those of us that knew just a little about you, truly knew the kindness, lovingness, and honesty in that smile.

But in memory of your fine attempt at balancing my ceiling fan in my kitchen while DRUNK. For as long as I own my current home I will never remove the clothes pin from the ceiling fan that you so strategically placed over and over and over again, while we all took turns turning it on and off for you.

Thanks Todd...... I will miss you..... Todd, when you had to leave us, God took one of his special Angels home to be with him.

Todd,

I'm not sure what to say or how to say what it is I feel right now. I've hung out with the band for about five years now. When Todd joined the band. I wasn't sure what to think, but as I got to know Todd. He was a great guy, loving. Always asking about my kids and how my school was going. We shared alot of laughs and some tears back behind that sound board and that I will never forget. Till we meet again Todd, Here's to you! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You are one of a kind! Love Ya! Jenn

Todd-I didn't know you as well as others did. But the times I would come to see the band, you always greeted me with a big ole' smile. When I was pregnant, you would pull up a stool for me and kept me company while my girlfriend was out dancing and "Doing da Butt". You even let me pick some of the songs to play during breaks. It was fun. You were truly a friend to everyone. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

You will be sadly missed!

Todd, words can not explain how much i will miss you,you were a great person, no one will ever make me smile like you did , their will never be such a loveing and kind man i will ever now, i can not express how much you mean to me and my family.May God Bless you and your family.
I love You,
Courtney

Helen, We send our love and condolences to you and your family. We'll truly miss, and remember Todd here at Swisher. You're in our hearts and prayers.
Craig and Julie
Todd, I'll still tell you all the new jokes I hear.
Love, Craig

It is so hard to find just the right words to describe how very much you will be missed Todd. Anyone who knew you loved you. You always had a friendly smile and a caring word for all. The naked hot tub parties will never be the same...nor will any of our lives that you have touched. We will miss your big smile and even bigger heart. You were a one of a kind and we are all blessed to have known you. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Helen and the kids, and to all who will greatly miss you. Keep 'em all laughing up there...and if anyone gets out of line be sure to give them one of your famous spankings.
We love you Todd,
Andrea & Tammy (your 2 favorite lesbians)
