Todd was a kind hearted guy, such a shame, 40 years too early :(

Is there a wife? or grandparents/uncles/aunts to help his daughters?

i'll donate but it won't help much.

Wow... this is devastating news. Todd was such a kind guy. Back in the day he used to forward me Fedex shipments from sites that wouldn't send international. Never asked a dime for it. We would just shoot the breeze on ICQ every now and then and that was that.

I dunno what to say.

BTW can anyone link the original thread? Search is broken and I couldn't find it flipping through the first few pages of threads.

RIP Todd, you will be missed!

Here is a link to the thread posted by Forest, dated 10/19/11, notifying us that Todd had passed away:

RIP Todd aka Sextoyking =(

RIP Todd :( I think i remember reading about this a few days ago. Prayers go out to your family.

Hi Mutt. There is an "ex" wife (who's no help) and there is some family on his side (ie 2 sisters, a brother and aunt & uncle), but no one has contacted me or come forward about help in any way...especially financially. I don't think any of them are in a position to help....Todd was always helping them. There's just me to help Todd's family. I am "Uncle" Rick to all of his kids and it has really been all on me. That is why I have come to "our" community....the community Todd loved so dearly for your help.

Sorry to all that have posted that I have not been on the thread. Yesterday was an emotional day as I took the family (for the first time since his passing) to the house so that each could get their stuff and take memories of their dad from the home.

To those that have donated already THANK YOU very much. For the rest of our community please donate what you can. I don't care if its even just a dollar. Please don't NOT donate because you don't think it will help. Every little bit helps and I know that OUR community can step up....even during hard times and make a real difference, or even more, because I've seen OUR community in action first hand do it.

I don't know, maybe things have changed too much in our industry, but OUR community has always set the precedents...the first to take new mainstream technology and use it to our advantage and show the world how the technology can be really used. How affiliate programs should really work, how to take the adult porn industry more mainstream and become more acceptable and have always stepped up when one of our own is in need.

Where are you now community? Your help is needed here and although its only been a couple of days I'm a little surprised at the lack of response? Every little bit helps my people. If you just cannot afford to donate then please spread the word to others and those who can. In this day and age of technology getting the word out is easy. Back in the day when we raised money for one of our own in need we raised tens of thousands of dollars and we didn't have the tech we have today.

We only have each other. Your help is needed. Please help anyway you can and I personally thank you right now for whatever you can do.

Fletch

Woow, this is horrible, I wish his family all the strength!

I made a small donation, hope it contributes

I didnt know Todd but I have 3 kids and can imagine what it takes to secure their needs, so Id donate if I could. My problem is I dont have paypal. Id say paxum is becoming the standard in this industry, so put paxum on the donate page and Im on board.

You don't need PayPal. You can use any major credit card. You can also go to any US Bank branch and donate directly to the Todd A. Ostrer Family Memorial Fund. OR....you can mail a payment directly to the fund at PO Box 1697, Gresham, OR 97030.

Thanks,
Fletch

50 donations for todds family

:thumbsup

Todd and I use to talk fishing all the time. So sad. RIP Todd...

I'll be going to US Bank in the next day or two to put in my donation.. Todd gave me alot of advice and input on having a daughter.. The fears, the realities, and the joys.. He was one of the people that made it a little easier thinking of the prospect of having a daughter in a porn business atmosphere..

I wish that there were more people like Todd that would jump out there as parents and express how they felt about their children.. Maybe that would have influenced others like it did myself.. I did express to him personally right after my daughters birth how he influenced my thoughts as a father and I am very grateful for that. Todd was a wonderful man and I have always been happy to do business with him... I only wish it had been even a decade longer... RIP TODD!

Fletch... Im sorry I've been avoiding this post.. Denial is a motherfucker... Especially when it seems like you've lost alot of the "Good Ones" over the last couple of years.. I'll reach out to you soon on ICQ and we can talk some more.. I'm sorry if it seems like I've snubbed you.. It was not my intention..

No worries Media. Thanks for the kind words about Todd. Yet another example of the kind of person he was.......he was one of the "good ones" as many on here have attested to.

Fletch

Thank you Media.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of an adult industry professional. Without people like Todd, whom I never heard of until now, people would not have the success that they have today. RIP Todd

Bump for this thread.

I missed it travelling.Others may have.

Was great watching the Hameed fight with you guys back in the day. ;-))

One of the classiest guys in this business.

RIP

Thanks for the bump! Donations for the family have been minimal, but every one of them is appreciated! It's just tough all around for a lot of folk.....for donations, adopting kids for Christmas and giving in general I guess. For those that still might want to give the site is www.toddostrerfund.com

Did this money go to the family?

Shit, I hope it did..

according to the comments by the family they haven't

Unfortunately, it appears that he may have meant something else with the term "rip."

Pure class.

RIP Todd

Mutt,

Check the other thread.

I think fletch's side of the story sounds a bit more plausible.

He answered the accusations and imho silenced the criticism.

Money got spent legitmately.and then some.
