Todd was an athlete and an avid golfer. A Giants fan and 49er Faithful, his booming voice could be heard throughout the house when games were on. He loved music and it played constantly and loudly wherever he was.

He loved watching sunsets and especially enjoyed the feel of the trade winds from a lanai in Hawaii. He was a long time 7-Eleven franchisee, successfully owning and operating two stores in Santa Cruz, California for over 30 years.

His final residence was at Ridge View Ranch which for generations, has been and continues to be a family owned property in Paso Robles. He loved the ranch and would walk the property, referred to as “loping around” as he remarked on the beauty, the history, and wildlife.

Todd leaves dozens of close friends and their wives and children.

He was a family man who considered his friends to be family. Todd was sensitive, generous and fun loving.

He will be profoundly missed, his sense of humor (acerbic wit galore!) and endless advice, his big voice and irreplaceable place in our families and hearts.
