Our deepest condolences go out to you Auntie Merl, Darrell, Rachel, Daniel and family. When I think of uncle Toddy, I think of him forever smiling, telling a joke, and calling me a “silly goomba”. I also think of his elephant paintings. I was always amazed by his ability to capture the essence of such a majestic animal; they must have been kindred spirits. Like Elephants, I’ve always thought of uncle Toddy as larger than life, stoic, and having an unbreakable family bond. I miss you Uncle Toddy, but every time I look at one of your paintings I'll see you and remember all my cherished memories of our time together.
