View Top Shelf Todd Story

Barry Caplan

When Todd and I were first getting to know each other, we were talking on the phone and we were exchanging stories about being at Disneyworld in Orlando. I was bemoaning the fact that they didn't have much Goofey paraphernalia to choose from and he was my favorite character. A few days later I received a package, opened it, and inside was a Goofey cap from Todd. When I called him to thank him he told me I was right. It was really hard to acquire Goofey stuff and he had to get it from Germany. This was the first of many generous gestures that Todd would offer to me and my family. He always included us: dinners, theater, concerts, football games. It was unbelievable, the experiences that he would create and always have my parents included.Todd was like a younger brother I never had. He was family. We will miss him.
