‘Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee’

Truly, we are all diminished by this.

As with many others, I never had the good fortune to meet Todd, but greatly admired his writing. My prayers and thoughts are with Marsha and his family.

Todd was simply a phenomenal writer. I remember reading his posts on YFJ and literally being floored by the detail and feeling he somehow wove into his work. Every time I read his posts I would literally look at my own blog and think, “Man, I wish I could write that way.”

Now, I didn’t know him at all, really, but from the many posts I read, I gleaned that he was truly a gentleman and a genuinely nice man. He posted at my blog, once, after I told him how much I enjoyed his own. I appreciate having his thumbprint there, as it is a small, yet meaningful artifact from his life. He will be missed.

My heart goes out to his family.

Your spirit touched us thru words and fonts found hundreds of millions of times over on this silly thing, the internet. Your voice echoed through and through; warm, unique genuine. I think everyone will agree with me when I say that voice is one we’ll miss, but are grateful to have heard.

It’ll be easier to sneak into the new stadium as an angel ($1000 bucks a seat, yeah right!). Grab one of your mom’s famous tuna fish sandwiches and find a spot perched on the frieze. Shoulder to shoulder with Yankee greats like yourself. It’ll be the best seat in the house.
