View Top Shelf Todd Story

Valentine Family

Todd, We did our best to capture 11 years of friendship in a few special photos and words but there are also so many more memories locked away in our heart that we just couldn’t find photo proof of. From the beginnings on Bay View Way to the more recent bourbon tastings at Arcole Court. From dance dads to date nights. From brunching at polo to dancing at Wicked. From costume parties to birthday parties… we have always admired your energy, grace, planning skills, and camaraderie. One of my biggest life regrets will forever be not witnessing your auctioneering skills in person at a gala. I’m sure the videos just didn’t do it justice. You are a legend Todd. Everyone knows it. Deb asked us to personalize it. What makes you a legend? Well, we found these two definitions of what a legend is… -a famous or important person who is known for doing something extremely well - A legend is someone who leaves behind an unforgettable impression on others. They touch lives, they're remembered, they're cherished. There are all sorts of legends in this world – famous or not. Becoming one means finding your particular role, your calling, following it, and touching others around you. You are the exact definition Todd. Everything you have done you have done well. A family member. A friend. A professional. An event planner. A neighbor. A party goer. A provider. An auctioneer. A business partner. A board president. A community member. A philanthropist. A temple member. A fighter. You found your role… your calling… and you followed it and while doing so, you touched others around you. You are known for doing everything you do extremely well. A legend. Some people work a lifetime at what you accomplished in 49 years and still don’t succeed in any of those domains. We are honored and humbled to have crossed paths with you. Physically on our street and metaphorically as a cherished part of our village. Privately in moments that only our memories have proof of and publicly at all of the incredible events you have shared with your family and friends. Thank you for making our lives richer. For the laughs. For your daughters who we love fiercely. For the simple times. For the elaborate parties. For the memories. Someone says Todd Barron and it’s impossible not to grin or burst out in a full smile and remember a flood of reasons as to why you are a legend and always will be. Love you tons! Insert a rap here about you being a legend. I’ll leave the rapping part to you but I’ll leave you with a little starter. You finish it… Now this is a story all about how My life got flipped turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute, before you run… I'll tell you how I became king of a town called Wellington! Todd,
