It's my very sad duty to announce that Todd left us this evening.
He was killed in an accident while riding his Motorbike home after work.
There are few details, but more information may come out as time goes on.
Todd was a friend to all - genuinely larger than life, always cheerful. The freezer in the armoury still has some of the Hare Burgers left (we've run out of Bunny Burgers) all his own work, from hunting, skinning and making. Best burger I've ever tasted.
Although I don't know all the units Todd was on he worked his way around Germany, Gib (EOD) and then made his way to Brize. First as a Cpl in the ESA where he was completely at home with being outdoors whatever the weather, then onto running the Station Armoury with his third.
Condolences from all the Brize Armourers to Wendy, his wife. We're not a trade renowned for our brains so we can't come up with much to offer, or a great deal to say - but we're all thinking of you. Anything we can do for the family would be a pleasure - he was a guy you'd walk to the end of the earth for.
I know there's a few of the Brize Armourers use the goat, some of whom might be surprised by how quickly I've put this up. But given how many of us at Brize have been stunned by the loss, I expect every unit he's served at will have those who feel the same.
I'll make sure that further details of "arrangements" are posted where appropriate.

RIP Uncle Sarge.
