I am Uncle Toppy’s nephew. From New York where Arthur originally lived. I have memories as a small child of Uncle Toppy, Aunt Georgianna, and my cousins, boarding a train in New York and moving out to St.Louis. I also have great memories visiting St. Louis and going to the Gateway Arch, and the St.Louis zoo. We had a great time also when they all visited NewYork for my brothers wedding. I will always hold “Uncle Toppy” close to my heart and am grateful and thankful for having had him as my uncle.
Thank you John. He was an incredible man who loved you, your brothers and all of your families. He loved your mom and dad so much too. They are rejoicing in the Kingdom. Our family appreciates your prayers.
We are so saddened to hear of his passing. The Toppy whistle at dinner time was always a fond memory of my childhood. May you be comforted with your memories of your Dad. RIP Toppy.
Thank you so much. Our family appreciates you all so much and your kindness. Yes, that whistle was a gift.
So very sorry to see this. Blessings and comfort to you all.
Thank you so very much. Our father was incredible. We will miss him so very much. Your kindness and prayers are appreciated.
I have wonderful memories from the neighborhood where the family grew up and of a young man who captured my cousin Georgianne’s heart. R.I.P. Toppy. Until we all meet again. My sincere condolences to his amazing family.
This is so sweet. Our daddy was the best and yes he and my mom had a one in a million love – they have been through many things and still grew stronger together. Please continue to pray for us and for mom.
To Deb Yost & Family.
