Todd loved spending time with family and friends, especially enjoyed being a Papaw. He enjoyed fishing, riding his Harley, gardening with his wife, tinkering with tractors and motorcycles. In the last couple years, he enjoyed growing his hobby farm with all his animals. Many people knew Honest Todd from his signature old white van. He enjoyed helping the community and friends with his plumbing skills when needed. He loved harassing Mary and Louie Salvador, with Deon Miller, at the Wolcott lumberyard and the True Value girls in Remington.
