Todd, you and your family are in our prayers...we were beside ourselves (as were our kids) to hear this sad news. We will miss smiling and waving to him everyday and seeing him as a neighbor...the kids say they are so sorry for your loss and will miss seeing "Hamilton" on the corner when they are out riding their bikes. He will surely be missed in our neighborhood.
