TC was a large piece of wonderful work. Always ready to lend a hand, always ready to party. He and Todie made a great couple, and Snoop dog made them even brighter.
I will miss him and our long phone conversations. A true friend.
Anne Luxford says
Always such a treat on our visits to Montana over the years to see Todie and TC, “The Big Man”, both of whom we treasure as friends. Memories of TC will include his many stories and so aptly referring to someone as a “legend in his own mind”; his noting to a friend “don’t let 7 seconds of bravery ruin the rest of your life”. It just wasn’t a party without TC. We will miss him. Love to Todie.

Enjoyable company and a credit to the cattle industry.

so sorry for your loss Todie. I enjoyed T. C. He bought cows for us a few years ago, charlois, and we re-sold them. we had some fun times at the stock yards, vaccinating heifers, etc. He took extra time to call and ask about russ as well. So sorry.

He was my favorite client! He first came to our foot clinic in the basement of the Senior
Center in Helena and looked at me and said…”Do you know what your are doing?” My
partners looked at me and nodded…You can see him! He was alittle ruff for them but I
knew under that ‘gruff’ he was a real cowboy with a big heart I would tell him what he needed to do to help his feet and legs and he would just rumble! He went home to tell Todie and she worked on his feet every night…bless her heart. He would tell me stories about his wife, kids, cattle and fishing.He will be dearly missed by me! Love to you Todie

We didn’t like each other until we got hauled before the man for getting into a playground fight about 3rd or 4th grade ( mud puddle included ). After that we had a common enemy – the system. Neither one of us was too big on rules. After that we drifted closer and later I tossed hay bales for his dad & we kicked around together until I ran off & joined the Navy. Every time I got back to Iowa we would get together & swap stories & suck down a few cool ones.
Zoralea, I am so sorry for your loss. You two were made for each other.
