I was able to get hold of a well-used paddle, carved an inscription onto it to our dearly departed friend and launched it into the mighty Yukon River at Whitehorse.

My wife and I were travelling at the time of Todd’s passing. Another of his co-workers and my close friend requested I leave something in the north to help memorialize Todd’s wonderful spirit.

The paddle landed in the swiftest part of the current and was carried quickly downstream. 
Our hope is that it will soon arrive in the Bering Sea and perhaps travel the world carrying the name Todd with it.

I had the privilege of working alongside Todd for more than 15 years. His peaceful nature and dedication to excellence in his work stood out among his peers, making him a joy to know.

My deepest condolences go out to Todd's family and friends.  At one time, I worked in a support capacity at DFS.  Todd was a class act who will never be forgotten.  His smile and positive attitude went such a long way in encouraging people around him and making life at work always that much better.  Sending you much courage and prayers.

Dear Paolo,

on behalf of the management of Altitude Gym, and on behalf of Patrick and myself, Nancy,  we wish to offer you our deepest sympathies. 
The loss of a loved one is one of life's most difficult moments. We are thinking of you and hope that your mourning will be gentle. 
You're part of the Altitude Gym family and if there's anything we can do to help, please don't hesitate to knock on our door. 
Take care of yourself and yours, support each other and, above all, keep moving towards the light.

Nancy Asselin

Sending my deepest condolences to Todd's family and co-workers at NRC. I had the opportunity to work with Todd on an internal NRC project in 2020.  He was very professional and and an absolute pleasure to work with.

DFS St. Johns, 

You always want to go before your children. Sadly that didn't happen.

                           Todd was a son sent from Heaven.

Todd was dedicated to both his mother, father and his two sons. 

As a single e father he had them both in hockey.

At 15 he worked for me repairing sewing machines. I sold them an he repaired them. At 16 he was a welder manufacturing truck bodies.
At 17 he became a motorcycle mechanic.  At 20 he was the lead mechanic for Hurst Motorcycle shop in Toronto. In the winter he didn't like repairing snow blowers so I lent him money to attend Algonquin College. Upon graduation he secured employment at National Research Council. He advanced to lead Forman at the Ottawa Wind Tunnel.

I bought him his first motorcycle and got him to Jujitsu, Karate and eventually he decided to  train in Brazilian Jujitsu where he obtained his black belt.

In 1991 he had a party which was my first date with Lorraine who I 
married.

Todd was such a great guy. I had the pleasure of being in the Machine Shop At U66 Uplands when Todd Started. We immediately liked Todd, He came in with a smile on his face and it never faded. Defintely a man who had a Love of life and enjoyment of adventure. He was always pushing himself to be better and he sure became one "heck" of a Toolmaker. My sincerest condolences to his family and friends. I will be thinking of him a lot in the coming weeks

Chère Geneviève,
Je vous présente mes condoléances à toi ainsi qu’à ta famille. Que vos souvenirs et le lien qui vous unit vous aident à traverser ces moments difficiles. 
Stéfanie 

It is with deep sadness that we have learned of the death of Todd.

You touched us in so many ways Todd with your courage and smiles and positive attitude towards life.   We first time we got to know you  at the campground where we both camped and then for many years you were our neighbour.

We will be forever grateful for your friendship over the years.

Our deepest sympathy to you Genevieve and the family circle.

May your gentle soul rest in peace Todd.

Pat and Rita McCartney
