Dear friend to almost anyone and everyone he met (and if you're wondering, yes, that does mean you). Jim knew how to celebrate life and he never turned down an adventure. Always young at heart, he was an incorrigible flirt and charmer. He loved his motorcycles and could restore a car, or build a house from the basement up including the plumbing and wiring. A natural comedian whose irreverent humor was enjoyed by all, to his family he will be remembered not only as the fun dad, but the very best dad in the world. He showed us all by his example how to live life to the fullest. His was a life well lived. "How do you like me so far?"~ Jim Todd As per his wishes, cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Jim's life will take place in late spring 2014. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the charity of your choice.
