I just want to thank the whole Toporek family for welcoming me into their home many years ago when I was a boarder at Ashley Hall. It was so nice to be there. I'll always remember it with gratitude.

We remember your dad as such a fine gentleman. We got to know him at St. Andrew's Fitness Center and we would walk next to him on the treadmill and see him in the pool when we would swim. We both so enjoyed talking to him. We met Myra when she would come to visit with him. Please know that we are thinking of you all at this time and you are in our prayers.
