I just now came upon this thread. All I can say is how happy I am that he was well liked by the members of this group. He loved the outdoors, especially 4-wheeling in them. Most especially in his VX. He was very proud of that rig. He also loved sharing his passion for our public lands. He wanted everyone to enjoy it as much as he did. We were finally able to bring the VX down for a small part of the '13 ZuZu, and it was so good to finally meet some of you who he shared his passions with. I look forward to meeting more of you in the future! Again, my family and I are overwhelmed with all the love shown for my dad. And I thank all of you for that.
We all learn from those around us, and it has a direct impact on how we live our lives. I think that anyone who was fortunate enough to have your father in their life is a better person for it. Todd will always live on in each of us...
Todd figuratively....
....AND literally !!...
....held many of our hands , as our skill level grew !!
He was our first ( and best possible ) introduction to 4X4'ing.
It was GREAT to see you all, and "Hot Wheels" in Moab this year..
...and look fwd to many more !
Cheers

Hellz Yeah Bro...yer old man was a lot of things...all of those things that I ever witnessed, were the stuff that better men than I are made of...
And that's why I miss him...& also why I'm glad to have met you...
You, my friend, are cut of some pretty fine yardage, what with tha parents you gots born to...
Baldmason,
I'm still pretty much a newbie here, but everything I read about your dad makes me regret that I missed out on something special because I didn't get a chance to meet him and I've heard others say same thing.
And for those who forget the term that goes with "don't bust the crust" - it's called "Cryptobiotic Soil." (I overheard people trying to remember what the heck it's called for the last 2 years so I looked it up!)
My gawd the time flies by.....
14 years for some of us. Living in the extreme S.E. I never met Todd except thru here.
They have come and gone....and some of our best have gone on ahead.....scouting and spotting a trail, and safe driveline for the rest of us, I suspect
At least Todd left a like minded son to keep it rolling.
(you have Dads' rig? I'm saving mine for my son and grandson too) Welcome youngster!
Peace
Yes, I have Dad's rig. I have been trying to do a lot of fixing on it, and I'm almost done!! (I hope!) No matter what I do to it, I will always keep the "Hot Wheels" emblem on the insert. Even if I have to have new ones made!!!!!
