Todd enjoyed camping with family and friends, playing golf with his father and friends alike and target shooting. He especially loved spending time with his fiancé Joanne and their dog “Nala”.
Todd will always be remembered for his infectious smile and willingness to help and advise junior firefighters working their way up the ladder.
