I just re-read this today and the bittersweet loss of Todd hit me all over again. He was a presence, genuine, honest and 100% real, all the time. As I was reading your comments about his laugh so many memories flooded my mind and I was grinning like a fool at all of them. He never let his past define him. He also had the uncanny ability to pick up right where you left off with him, regardless of how much time had passed. Still feel this loss.
Thank you for this. Todd was one of my closest friends growing up in OC. We fell out of touch other than Facebook (as I did with most of my friends from up there)…but everything you said is Todd spot on. Rock on 🤘Todd!
thanks for posting Craig. Loved seeing the video. I stayed at your house one time when I had a training session in Cleveland when I taught in Ohio. Redd dog and I had a jam session in the basement with me being on the drums. Yeah I have zero musical talent and zero music instruction. All I have is a great experience with my friend having him tell me some things to do while he played and I tried doing anything to compliment his guitar playing. Plus trying not to make what I was doing sound horrific.
Todd and I played music together a lot shortly before you did. To this day I remember him saying how I was the lead guitar or created the songs which dumbfounded me because those songs were always his songs and he made them. Humble guy and passionate in the best way with his friends.

Cheers to you. He's still missed.

You have captured the essence of Todd perfectly. He was a true original who will never be forgotten.
