Remembering and missing my first cousin as it approaches the 10th anniversary of his transition into the afterlife. He left us too soon, and we still love him and miss him. They all left us too soon, his dad and his mom, but the way in which Todd was taken from us we will never forget. May God bless all of the survivors, the families of those taken that day, and may the souls of all who passed on bask in His love and peace forever. Miss you, cuz...Phyllis

Uncle Todd was a really great man. Even though I didn't know him well when it happened, I still feel for him. He was my uncle, and I'm not saying that the other people weren't important, too; I just miss him so much. I don't have much to remember him by. He was a great man, and I hope I will see him again some day.

At Todd's memorial service, I read the program, and I felt like it was my funeral and Todd was sitting in my seat reading about my life in three paragraphs. It was really strange. You see, we had very similar stories: from the inner city, off to Andover, college, then the Big Apple. I have always felt a strange brew of emotions about that moment. Why did I escape the WTC, but Todd did not? It feels like a selfish undertaking to lament Todd's passing in this way, but unfortunately emotion can't fit into tiny boxes. Surely, had Todd been given the chance, his unique blend of intellect, compassion, athleticism, and sheer mastery of social interaction would have had him on some real super-hero status in that building, saving people's lives! As a matter of fact, that's probably what Todd was doing. Think about it. Those who knew him, know.

I met Todd when I was 13 years old, in a cold new state, surrounded by overachievers, wondering how to get a haircut without a barbershop, self-conscious. Todd was ready for the world, ready to charm, ready to dominate, ready to uplift. His personality and presence was felt across campus, across classes, across age groups, across races, across social circles, across social classes ... infecting faculty and staff. He handled life's situations like he handles the rock. And while he could definitely take it to the hole, watch out, 'cuz he might just pass it to that kid over there with the bi-foculs on, who would subsequently be empowered with the confidence to go all net!

I remember Todd saying to me, as we sat in his apartment in NY, that times were so hard his 401K had turned into a 40. He was lying, I'm sure, probably to make somebody feel better. Probably me. That's how he rolls.

Hard to believe it's been 9 years since that day and almost 10 since I last saw Todd. He is missed and remembered after all this time by his friends from Holy Cross.

Todd was my roommate at Andover and we had just really re-connected shortly before 9/11. I miss him so much today. I know people always say good things about people who are gone, but in Todd's case, it's all true. He really was one of the nicest, most positive people I have ever known. I know that he wouldn't want me or anyone else to sit around and mope and be down, so I am going to try to enjoy myself today in his honor and smile as much as I can. I guess I'll just think about the time we had together and there are so many happy memories, that it will get me through this day with a Todd Isaac grin on my face. He lives on in the countless people whom he touched with his positivity. I love you bro and man I miss you!

Just had my first child last week.... Somehow I thought of you today and wished that some day she would meet you, and that you would have made her laugh. Be well, my friend

I went to school with and played basketball with Todd at Andover. He was the Varsity captain. His skills were phenomenal. I remember once girls chanted, "Todd is God! Todd is God!" I remember once he shook this guy so bad that Todd had moved to the guys left, shot, and the three pointer was coming out of the bottom of the net before the guy even moved. Literally. The guy was frozen like a statue. I also remember being confused with Todd in statistics class. He took it lighter than I did. He was actually heroic. May that soul, shining on and smiling down on us now, show us how to be joyful. I'm sure he is now, as he always was when I saw him here. Bless.

Todd,

You are thought of, smiled at, cried for, talked about, and most of all loved. You will never be forgotten. Sleep well.

Todd, even when you were picking on me you made me smile! You are so missed by so many people. Although we did not stay in touch after Andover, I was so impressed to hear of all that you achieved in your life and so saddened when I heard you were gone. Rest in peace Todd.

I think of you often. You were a special young man. You are loved and missed.

Todd, you hold a very special place in my heart. You are missed.

I did not know you but you were loved and touched the lives of many as I am sure you are doing in heaven.

So I was the resident assistant managing a huge group of rowdy students on his hall freshman year. There must have been about 60 students, and Todd stood out from all of them. Such a great character. Genuine and friendly. Not pretentious. Always smiling. It sticks with me that he had a sign on his door that read, "Hot Toddy." Indicative of how he was a beam of sunshine. I really will not forget.
