Todd Larry Bloedow, 63, passed away peacefully on March 6, 2021. Todd was known for his love of family, faith, and his church, where he ushered every Sunday. He also regularly walked around town and grabbed books from the library to read and copy recipes from. He loved the Brewers, "cop" shows, jokes and especially the mail. Although his life was challenged and short, he was always happy and leaves an abundance of memories and love behind. Todd was born February 11, 1958 to Willard and Florence Bloedow in Waukesha. His family moved to Port Washington in 1962. Todd attended and graduated from Ozaukee High School in 1979. Todd moved with his parents to Waupun in 1988 and lived there until their passing. He moved from there to Fond du Lac to live with his sister in 2012 and returned to Port Washington in 2016. He is preceded in death by his parents Willard and Florence Bloedow, brother Mark Bloedow and brother-in-law Robert Gandolf. Todd is survived by his sisters Vicki Gandolf, Holly (Ron) McGettrick, Jill Anzia, and brothers Willard (Laurie) Bloedow, Steven (Blanche) Bloedow and David (Becky) Bloedow, sister-in-law Janet Bloedow, and numerous nieces and nephews and their families. "We can shed tears because he is gone, or we can smile because he lived. We can close our eyes and pray he will come back, or we can open our eyes and see all that he left for us. Our hearts can be empty because we can't see him, or we can be full of the love we shared. We can turn our back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or we can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. We can remember only that he is gone, or we can cherish his memory and life. We can cry and close our mind and feel empty, or we can do what he would want…. Smile. Open our hearts. Love and go on." The family will receive visitors on Friday, March 19th from 2-4PM at Grand Avenue United Methodist Church, 505 W. Grand Ave. in Port Washington, with funeral services following at 4PM. Rev. Don Greer will preside. Todd will be laid to rest the following day beside his parents in Ash Creek Cemetery in Richland Center.
