Tod was a warm and generous human being.  He was never without a smile or laughter.  He never met a stranger.  His life coming to an end was too soon for all of us here on earth, but now he is dancing with the angels and protecting each of his family and friends.  Knowing Tod, he wouldn't want us to grieve over his passing, he would want us to celebrate his life.  He would especially want us to remember the best years of his life- the years he spent with the love of his life, his wife Annie.  He would want us to better ourselves because he spent his entire life trying to do just that.  Tod would want us to remember him each time we saw the surf of the ocean.  He would not want us to grieve for all our days to come, instead he would want us to keep moving forward with life, one day at a time, until we one day meet him again.  Until that day, Tod you are loved and honored for all the lives you touched, because there were so many.
