Ike Todd and I were friends from kindergarten in 1960 until he passed, Sept. 9. 2011. I was able to find him through facebook and get reacquainted when we (my husband) retired from the military and moved back to Salina. I was able to talk to him several times a week and visit often. We shared many laughs and tried to figure out this crazy world.
He was quite a guy and I miss him very much. I have become very close to his wife, Marilyn, and she sure needs some prayers for healing and coping with losing her love of nearly 40 years.
Isaac "Ike" William Todd, 56, of Salina, passed away Friday, September 9, 2011. He was born December 20, 1954, in Waynoka, Okla., the son of Dwight O. and Nora M. (Clemence) Todd.
Ike was a master craftsman in leather tooling and woodworking. He enjoyed restoring guns and knives. He loved to hunt, fish and ride horses. Children and animals loved Ike. He was an honest and kind man. Ike was a Christian. His faith and walk with Jesus was evident in his daily life and influenced all that crossed his path.
Ike had an unusual wit and shared many stories with such detail and humor one could imagine being there. He was a great entertainer. Many have enjoyed his computer communications of "Ikeisms" quotes.
Ike worked for four prominent companies in Salina for over 20 years. He will be greatly missed by all.
He is survived by his loving wife, Marilyn; three children, Bradley Todd and special friend Melody Moses and family, of Wichita, Anna Cutler, of Salina and Amber McCall, of Salina; and 15 adoring grandchildren.
A gathering for friends and family will be Friday, September 16, 2011, at 906 Willow Drive, Salina, KS. A memorial service will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, September 17, 2011, at Grand Avenue United Methodist Church, 304 W. Grand. Inurnment will be at a later date in Waynoka, Okla. Memorials may be made to a charity of the donors choice in care of Ryan Mortuary, 137 N. Eighth, Salina.
