My memories of Todd are ones of true friendship. There was not a day in which his friendship and beautiful soul didn't radiate like the sun! You will be missed, my friend!

My memories of Todd are from long ago. A happy, funny, young man who had a knack for finding things to like about people. I happened to run into him at Jose's not long ago. He was in the company of his Mom and brother. It was a wonderful site. He greeted me with a strong hello and engaging smile. It is a simple memory I will always cherish. He will be missed. I share my sympathy with all of Todd's family and friends, and especially his dear mother.

To Kelsey I wish I was there to give you a hug I know that you love your dad very much. Know that your dad isn't really gone a very special part of him lives on in you.

Much Love

I cant imagine not seeing him anymore. I would go in the Hemp Store to buy Insense. I would browse the beads, make him take out the trays and pick out a few. Todd and I both knew I didnt need the beads, but just couldnt help myself.What a truly nice man and I am so sorry for his daughter. Hang in there Girlie.

I went downstairs to see who was moving into the store below my loft in Manitou and there was Todd- his hair short and wearing a dark grey suit. After introducing ourselves I learned that he was tired of the rat race, was planning on letting his hair grow, opened a Hemp Store and was "just ready to be relaxed". The years following I watched just that- Todd was dedicated to living a stress-free and good-for-the-earth lifestyle...something many of us wish for but rarely achieve. Todd inspired me to sell my art- and he was always willing to give me shelf space for my stained glass. All told- I am very proud to have known him, and my whole heart is with Tracy, Kelsey and the entire town of Manitou Springs. We will miss you more than we can measure Todd- Peace Love and HEMPiness....Laura Allen
