Memorial planning is underway to honor Todd B. Rumpke, 53, regional vice president at Rumpke Waste & Recycling, Cincinnati, who died Sept. 7, 2016, following a long battle with illness.
From the time his was little boy, Todd adored all things Rumpke, the company notes in a news release announcing his death. He spent his life working for the business, following in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps. Todd became regional vice president for Rumpke’s Southeast Market, which includes Georgetown, Ohio, and parts of northern, central and eastern Kentucky, in 2002. Before accepting the vice president position, Todd was district manager for Rumpke’s Portsmouth and Beech Hollow, Ohio, locations. His career also included work as a route manager, driver, general laborer and Rumpke Park employee.
In his role as regional vice president, Todd managed three landfills and hundreds of employees. During his tenure, he worked to expand those sites and to implement new environmentally beneficial technology, the company says. He oversaw the construction of a landfill gas recovery system at the Pendleton County, Kentucky, Landfill, and began planning a second landfill gas recovery facility at the Brown County, Ohio, Landfill. These facilities convert landfill gas into energy.
“Innovation and creativity excited him, and he possessed an unwavering desire to grow and expand the company beyond its current borders,” says Bill Rumpke Jr., CEO at Rumpke Waste & Recycling.
Todd earned a bachelor’s degree in general business and personnel management from Miami University (Ohio). He also was a MOLO (Manager of Landfill Operations) and Kentucky State Certified Landfill Manager.
Bill continues, “He was fun. He was fearless. His personality and sense of adventure was endearing to many. He lived life to the fullest and inspired others to do the same.”
In his free time, Todd enjoyed spending time with his wife and three sons. He volunteered at church and liked home remodeling, landscaping and coaching his kids in baseball and hockey.
He also loved auto racing, a passion that began when he was a kid. He competed in road racing, auto crossing and pro touring with his 2006 Corvette. His number was 63, and he had fans everywhere, Rumpke says.
Todd is survived by his mother, Mary (late Tom Rumpke, Rumpke’s former co-president and CEO) Rumpke; his wife, Sonya Rumpke; and his sons, Rumpke Central Ohio Market Route Manager Tyler (Abby) Rumpke, Rumpke Cincinnati Market Outside Sales Representative Zakk Rumpke and Brock Rumpke; as well as by his brothers, Mark (Kim) Rumpke and Matt (Kathy Jo) Rumpke, and sister, Melissa (Brian) Krieger; as well as by numerous in-laws, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.
