21 Aug 2020Our deepest sympathy in your loss of your loved one. We met Todd in the 1970s when our daughter, Renee, attended St. Paul’s in Concordia. They became good friends and he was very good to make her feel at home and welcome. We appreciate all he did to help her as the new kid in town and we enjoyed our time with him as well. God bless you all. William and Barbara Gamache
