    I miss you Mr. Todd, I miss the sunshine you brought to everyone around you. I pass by your old houses sometimes, looking for you in the yard. In a way I’m blessed because all of the memories I have of you as a little girl are still picture perfect. We weren’t related but you were my daddy’s bestfriend, I didn’t have any uncles that lived in florida or that I was actually even close with. You gave me the definition of an uncle and I know no one can fill those shoes. You were apart of our family and always will be. Your life stories will always be passed on, and my memories of you will last forever. Your life was not taken early and it was not unfair, don’t worry it’ll take time but everyone will realize that. I won’t take getting the chance to know you for granted, I want to thank you for all of the memories and experiences and everything you taught me. Love always, Christine Buchanan. (Al’s kid)

    I used to work at mill as a custodian and cleaned the area he had worked at. He and I got along well and I considered him a friend of mine up there. We used to chill and talk while on break and he was an overall great guy. I found out about his passing yesterday as I went to the store and heard from another guy at the mill. Sorry to hear it and my thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family at this time.

    I’ve suffered a loss myself, so I can feel the pain they are going through, my brother passed away in June.

    Bud and I worked @ the paper mill. Todd was handsome, sweet and kind. Most of the time he had a smile on his face. He always had a minute to at least say hi. He didn’t know us very well. But he still smiled and said hi. We will pray for Rosa and the children. They can know that Todd was someone to be proud of.
