Dianna has many cherished memories of their rides on their Harley Davidson trike over the years. Our family has memories of Todd giving family members rides on the trike during our family reunion in 2014. It was great fun for everyone.

Todd made many life-long friends who also served as Dallas County Sheriff Deputies. Many of his friends also rode motorcycles. They all enjoyed making trips together over the years. While Todd was in and out of the hospital, those same friends would visit with him. Todd, Dianna and Tammy appreciated those visits very much.
