Francine, my heart hurts for you. I am so very sorry for your loss.  It has been such a privilege getting to know you, I sure wish I had more time to meet Todd.  I am here for you & the girls always.

There was never a dull moment when you were around Todd. He was the life of the party and always made sure everyone felt welcome. Anytime we would walk through the door he immediately offered us a beer. Todd and my Husband would always discuss history and music while I held the conversations about cooking and holidays. I was extremely excited to have met someone who shares the same excitement for Christmas like myself. I may have not known him for a long time but the time that I had was an honor and blessing. He will truly be missed. Save some shrimp cocktail for me buddy and make sure the sauce isn't too spicy!

One memory that will always stick with me, is our shared love of music. I remember how we’d sit together on the piano bench, you showing me how to play Christmas songs on your many music sheets, and I remember practicing when I got home, and when we came over again I’d show off what I learned and practiced.

I love you papaw
💙🤍💙

I’ve always love going over to Mamaw and Papaw’s house. Since I was a kid they always made everything so fun. I remember the year they got us all ZumZum pets for christmas and we played with them in the kitchen, this past year when they got everyone different games to play, the time I stayed over at their house with Jordan to babysit their dogs and they came back and told us stories about their vacation. I remember all the birthday parties we had there, they always made it very magical at their house. I love you papaw!

There is no way I can give enough credit to the man that helped shape me as a man. Todd gave me his blessing to be apart of this beautiful family. I honestly can’t put just one memory of him just being an amazing father in-law and grandfather and dad . I can only hope that I can follow your kindness and be the way you would want me to be . We were just lucky to have you! Go colts !!  

I love you brother, signed
Your other kid

First off papaw I just want to say thank you for being such an amazing role model for me and all us other grandchildren, I always remember the times getting dropped off at grandma and papas house and then getting put straight to work. Those times really showed me as a young kid growing up what kind of man I wanted to be when I grew up, someone that was strong not just physically but for your entire family and being able to bear the burden without questions asked. 
I love you papaw, thank you for all the good times playing the Wii and dancing all around the house blasting music till we dropped. All the nights us grandchildren stayed scattered around the floor where we could find a spot, I cherish these memories more than ever and I realize how much those times really shaped me into the man I am today.

Thank you papaw

I love you, Landon

I'll miss you papaw. My most vivid memory of you is the times I've spent at your house for the holidays enjoying the food and being around family. There is so many more memories I have with you. I love you papaw.

This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. There are so many things I could say about my daddy and so many memories that I will carry with me forever.
I will always remember the festivities, the laughter, and the special moments we shared as a family. I remember telling my dad that I was pregnant. He told my sister that he and Mom were getting a divorce, and then he said, “No, Tasha is just pregnant.” That was my daddy—he always had a way of making us laugh, even in the most unexpected moments.

Christmas time was always special and different because of Daddy. The decorations were everywhere, just the way he liked them. I will always remember us picking numbers for silly gifts and the year he got us all poppers for Christmas. Those moments may seem small to some people, but they are memories that I will treasure for the rest of my life.

My daddy never knew a stranger. He could stop and talk to anyone for hours, and that was just who he was. He had a way of making people feel welcome and important.

Our daddy taught us so much. The lessons he gave us and the memories we made with him will live in our hearts forever. He taught us lessons that will continue to help us grow, keep going, and achieve our goals, just as he would have wanted us to.

He was our family’s rock, and although our hearts are broken, we will remain strong for our daddy and for one another. We will carry his love, his lessons, his laughter, and his memories with us every day.

Daddy, I love you. Until we meet again.

Love always,
Natasha

You will be greatly missed Todd. You were always very kind and generous and always put others first before yourself. One thing i remember is when rock band game out on xbox and you taught me how to play the drums and every time you knew i was coming over you had it set up and ready to go for me for when i walked into the door. Also your holiday meals were amazing. Your memory will live on with your family and friends.

I would just like to thank you for the time we shared. The friendship,  the brotherhood and the mutual support.  Sleep well brother.
Jim 

We started as friends,  then ended up family, and I couldn't be more thankful. So many beautiful memories, over the past 40 + years.  Thank you for giving us 3 beautiful nieces,  and 9 beautiful great nieces & nephews.  But, thank you most of all for the love care and support you have given my sister through the years . I love you and will miss you so very much. Sweet dreams Todd I'll see you in mine. ❤️ 
La xoxo

The family ROCK. Todd did so much for every single member of his family that there are way too many instances to list. Just treasured memories of a very loving husband taken way too soon. I may have been mother in law, but our age gap wasn't so huge and we shared  many fine times together. Loved you, Todd. x

Playing silly b's in the newly erected and warm lined garden gazebo one winters day a few years back.  Happy days with my favourite fellas!

Thank you Uncle Todd for being a part of my life & influencing my music taste and desire to learn more about music from the songs you listened to, the rhythm games you had for the family to play, and some of the movies that you played when I’d come visit. We’re gonna miss you a lot more than you know Uncle Todd not just in Indiana but in many different parts around the world too. I love you.

I never thought I’d be at a loss for words. But here I am. I know if you were here, you’d probably say, “You at a loss for words? Who woulda thunk it?” And then you’d laugh.

I’ve tried so hard to think of the perfect memories to share, but the truth is, there are simply too many. All of our memories with you were meaningful in their own way. At every family gathering, you had a way of making ordinary moments unforgettable.

Whether it was putting on two different shoes, or doing a box-step waltz together, you always gave us something to smile about and something we would carry with us forever. There are so many memories that I could never begin to list even a fraction of them.

But more than any single memory, there is one thing I know I will carry with me for the rest of my life: your voice telling me, “I love you.”

I know you are looking down on us today with a heart full of love, knowing that we will be okay. You taught us to be strong. You loved us unconditionally. You always put us first. And because of you, we know what it means to love and be loved so deeply.

I am so proud to call you my father. I hope that, every day of my life, the way I live, the way I love, and the person I continue to become makes you proud.

I wish I could have one more conversation with you, one more laugh, one more hug, and one more “I love you, honey.”

Until we meet again, Daddy… I love you, and I miss you more than words could ever say.

I’ll miss you papaw. You were the life of the party and always made sure everyone was smiling and in good spirits. I remember growing up I couldn’t wait to go to your house every holiday to listen to music and dance in the kitchen. The loving atmosphere you created will always be one of my favorites. The last time I was over there and we got to talking about my schooling and my future career you said you were very proud of how far I came and hope that my future goals work out. I will forever hold that dear to my heart and you’ll never know how thankful I was to hear that. I love you papaw

Papaw, I don’t even know where to start because there are so many memories and so many things I wish I could say. From sitting around talking while I did laundry at your house, to holidays, dinners with Adam and I and grandma, and all the little moments in between, some of my favorite memories will always be the ones with you. From the very day I was born, you never hesitated to step up and help raise me. You were there for me through so many moments in my life, and whenever I needed you, you were always there. You weren’t just my Papaw you were someone I could count on, someone who loved me unconditionally, and someone who helped make me who I am today. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to put into words how much you mean to me or how grateful I am that I got to have you in my life. I would give anything to have just one more conversation or one last get together with everyone. I’ll carry every memory, every laugh, and every bit of your love with me for the rest of my life.
I love you forever & always, Papaw. 🤞🏼❤️

We always had a great time at my brothers house. with pool parties and cook outs we also liked to go to the club with my brother and Francine we loved to dance. I will miss him always but I know he is heaven with my Mom and Dad and sister Terri. Love you

One of my favorite memories growing up was the dance parties in the garage. His garage was the best hang out spot. When uncle Todd didn't beat all of us myself and my cousins when we had a flour fight in his newly remodeled kitchen then one of us not naming names decided It cleans up real nice with water. Back then the kitchen had carpet. Uncle Todd was the one that got me my very first car! Watching TGIF in his living room. His food was ALWAYS amazing! His ham cream cheese and pickle wheels were one of my favorites. There are so many memories he is truly missed! I'm just so glad my parents bought the house behind yours i had the best childhood with my aunt uncle and cousins!

I remember how Todd sold my momma her vehicle....omg....back when we were all in elementary school.  And I remember him just joking around.  And that's when my dad said that Todd could polish a turd and sell the hell out of it!!  He was a cool dude........I'm sorry for your whole families loss!!

Dad, it's no hidden secret you and I always had a passion for cooking. If it wasn't one thing we were cooking, it was always another. From the time you got TikTok that's all I heard, "Well, if you'd just get TikTok, I could send you these recipes." 
The day after Christmas I would cook breakfast for all 20+ of us and while you played on TikTok, drinking your coffe and watching TV, before anyone was up and before I started cooking, I'd walk over to make a Malibu and Pineapple juice and you'd just smile and chuckle and ask if it was cocktail time already? I'd just giggle and say "Well, I'm not driving". 
The things I'd show you that I said that I wanted and you would turn around and buy for you and mom. The decorations you would buy for Halloween and Christmas that I always wanted to steal. The antique trips just you and I, the hate for tomato we both have and all the similarities we have...
Dad, it was one hell of a ride! 🩷
  
Love you
Dez

True loyalty isn’t just about showing up for the big milestones it’s about being there for the quiet, difficult moments in between. Todd was the bedrock for his family and friend circle. No matter the time, the distance, or the circumstance, they were always just a phone call away. Todd's unwavering support is a constant reminder of what it truly means to love unconditionally, and that memory will stay with all of us forever. Todd was always there for me and that means so much. You will be truly missed. 
Love Matt and Kim

I'll miss you papaw. I'll never forget the joyful atmosphere you always brought. I'll always remember how you would try to tickle me and how you had the hardest fingers in the world, so it would always hurt and you would still sit and giggle about it. One of my favorite memories with you was sitting and watching Two and a Half Men with you every night after dinner for the couple months we lived with you. I'll always remember how much you loved your snacks and I will 100% remember my favorite mac and cheese. Thank you for bringing so much joy and happiness to me and our family. I love you papaw.

My Sincerest Condolences for the Family.

I had the honor of working with Todd for many years through Canteen and Continental. Todd was a great friend and always cared about his customers and making sure they were taken care of. He loved his family and was always excited for his anniversary and Christmas. Todd was always looking to help others and including being a very giving person especially when it came to my kids fundraisers. What I appreciated the most, was his willingness to listen and I believe he truly cared for everyone and me as he was a true friend. Todd was a great man and will be truly missed.

Uncle Todd dancing with my mom at my 21st birthday! He always knew how to have fun!!

We will never forget you Todd !
We will never forget the “Princess Street “ bench, the endless Bloody Marys , the pop up caravan , the disco in the garage, endless hot wings, cornfields as far as the eye could see, the hog roast , the Coors floater , our trip to Washington DC !

Todd Klosterman, you were simply one in a million. We will always remember & love you !!

YOUR SCOTTISH FAMILY,
Dee, Angie & Jake

I don’t really know what to say, but I’ll always be grateful for the time I got to spend with you, Grandpa. Our last conversation together means more to me than I can ever explain. Hearing you tell me that you were proud of the person I’ve become is something I’ll carry with me forever. I wish I could have had more time with you, but I’ll always hold onto the memories we made and the things you taught me. I love you, Grandpa, and I’ll miss you more than words can say. Rest easy.

Papaw was a great person. I’ve never not seen him laughing or making a joke that would make everyone bust out laughing. He was everything to us, and still will be as his memory moves on forever. We love you papaw!!!

Every holiday we were at mamaw and papaws. And every time, I loved it. I love being around my family, and especially papaw Todd. Everyone says it, but he genuinely was the life of the party, and I’m so confident he still will be, in heaven. Partying it up with everyone, having a great time. We love you, forever!!

Hi Francine,

We were so saddened to hear about the loss of Todd. I know how much he meant to you and all the family.

I can't begin to imagine what you are going through, but I want you to know that you are in our thoughts. May the love and support of family and friends bring you comfort in the difficult days ahead.

With love and sympathy,

Gilmour and CarolAnn

Condolences to the Family

I have worked with Todd for several years as Canteen and now Continental.  He would always keep me up to date with his house projects.  He was always excited to decorate for Christmas and cook for his family.  His love for his wife shown through every time he mentioned her.  He would check in at the office at the end of his work week and then he was off to go shopping and have his cocktail.  He will be remembered with warmest regards.

My condolences to the family.
Todd and I had many opportunities to chat and talk about our future plans. I was lucky enough to take my break at work when on more than one occasion Todd would be finishing for the day and we would get in our little chat sessions. Todd performed his job at Canteen with pride and true concern for his customers. He will be remembered as a friend and great human being.
