The positive changes, influences, and thought provoking knowledge he sought and spread will never go away. The vessel for such things will be varied but that's a good thing and a tribute to the profound impact he had.
God Speed Todd!! I'm indebted to you in so many ways and hope I have and continue to spread the awesomeness you were a conduit for in all those different ways.
Todd was here in 2011 and my son, who was 13 at the time, was hanging around with me while I was a range officer for the event. Todd had a spare slot in his class, so he let him shoot some of the drills, and afterward they had fun on the plate rack.Originally Posted by SLG
A few days ago, my son now 19, related a story to me. He was in an airsoft store and started chatting with a guy that shoots 3-gun. During the conversation Todd's name came up and the guy was super jealous that my son had been able to shoot with him. Todd is still a cool dude in a lot of people's minds, including a 19 year old kid that has a great memory of a time when an excellent trainer took a moment to show him the ropes.
It's getting a little dusty in here...

I can't believe it's been a year. I miss you, brother.

It was a couple of weeks ago now, but close enough. TLG would have appreciated this trip.
I can't believe a year has gone by.
I think of Todd almost daily, there are times when I want to call him and share something funny that happened that day or talk about gear, guns, cars.
I miss you brother!
I was in a gun shop a couple weeks ago wearing my P-T.com hat and one of the workers asked me if I had taken any of Todd's classes (unfortunately I was too late to the party). He'd taken one or two. Lucky bastard. One item on my bucket list that will unfortunately remain unchecked.

An entire year already? I was lucky to get to take two classes from him, the second one was the 2011 class that Seconds Count mentions above. Still sad to think that I won't ever get that third class in with him. Even sadder to think of all the people that will never get to take their first class with him. Todd was a great guy who fought all the way to the end. I was cleaning out a closet and found a P-T hat from a class. I am going to wear it to the range Friday in his honor. Fuck cancer!

My tan P-T was my favorite hat! Lost unfortunately.
PM me your address. I have several extra.
I was typing P-F into the web browser a few minutes ago and the first of the auto fill options when I got to www.pisto was pistol-training.com. Had that "shit, I miss Todd's articles" moment when I saw it. I thought I remember hearing that someone may eventually take that over. Did I remember right?
