From Steve Menard, Warwick, RI
Todd was one of the finest human beings that I have ever known, I met Todd at work several years ago and we became instant friends. We used to hang out together and went white water rafting together. We spent alot of time working on our cars and he helped me restore my antique car. His love of life was inspiring to me and helped me through a rough time last year. Todd was an usher at my wedding last year also. I once asked Todd why he served in the guard and his responce was " I do this to serve my country and protect the people in it." Todd was a very deep person with a soul to match. he will be truly missed and never forgotten Steve Menard
