Todd was a well-known residential contractor in Wausau and the surrounding area. He was a kind and gentle man with a great sense of humor and a laugh that was contagious. All that met Todd loved him at first sight.

He especially enjoyed his annual opening fishing weekend with his life-long friends. Whether it was on a pontoon or a fishing boat, a day on the water was a good day in Todd’s eyes.
