ToddG remembrance thread

I think part of the lesson was that he was well loved.

I agree completely! Thanks for adding that.

Todd had a huge impact on me getting into shooting and learning the sport the right way. I took a couple of his classes and can't thank myself enough for doing that. He was such a Great guy and he will be sorely missed.

Tuesday night, I stayed up until about 1AM putting together my Dillon 550 (thanks again to he who shall remain anonymous for this wonderful gift!).

I started drinking and watching Archer. Once Archer started playing, the tears started flowing.

I sure wish I could have known him like you all did.

I'm not sure if I've posted this one yet, but I like it:

I sure wish I could have known him like you all did.

It was definitely a great experience.

I learned a lot from Todd, and had a lot of great times with him. And through him I've been introduced to a whole bunch of truly awesome people over the years. I can't thank him enough for that.

I had recently broken my hand and wrist and messaged him about my condition. I included all the methods I knew for one-handed manipulations. Todd promptly responded that he was impressed

After almost everyone left, Todd, Scott and I were BSing as Todd packed up and we talked about how inspiring it is to shoot with someone who works around an injury instead of whining about it and at some point I said something to the effect that you were Todd's right?left hand man. He literally froze in place for a second then looked at me with an expression of almost child like glee and said "Dude, why didn't you say that two days ago?" and you could almost see his mind going through a plethora of sarcastic quips he could have used through out the weekend.

Continued prayers for Todd's loved ones.

I tired to get him down to our agency for training, but the timing never worked out. Even though I couldn't get him down for personal instruction, we incorporated some of the drills and methods he championed on the old firearms training and tactics site, M4carbine.net, pistol-training.com and pistol-forum.com.

What you built lives on, Todd. Many of us are safer today and will continue to improve because of your work. Thank you for challenging us to constantly get better.

I'll wear a Sinn, shoot a cold FAST, and think about Todd when I make it to the range next week (as happens pretty much every range trip [emoji41] ).

I've been living under a rock for a few months and haven't been posting. But Todd's passing hits hard. If I quiet my mind, though, I can hear TLG, mocking my soft feelings in that way he had, which made these sad moments seem small in the face of life's essential goodness.

Rest in rage, TLG. Fuck cancer, in all its physical and social forms.

Finally found my hat from the first class I took with Todd.
