Your dad was an important fixture at all of our basketball games when I was going to high school, class of 1962. I also got to know them through Trinity Lutheran Church. It was an honor to know them both.
Tod and family – keeping you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I always admired your Dad’s spirit and spunk – may it continue on in your hearts.
Tod, Sue, and Brielle,
Please accept our condolences on the passing of your father and grandfather. May it help to know that may others care and share in your sorrow.
God Bless you and grant you comfort,
