  1. Dear Linda, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. My Best, Lee Anne

  2. Linda and Jeremy, We are so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Ben and Amy Franks

  3. Linda, John brought more love of life and fun to our choir than you could ever imagine! It was always such a joy to see John walk in wearing his cowboy hat and boots. He was our John Wayne but with more moral causes and plenty of “doing for others” and sharing of his talents. He brought smiles to our faces. He made us stop and think about priorities. He made us laugh til our sides hurt. He was generous beyond being generous. He constantly found music that he thought others should sing. Then he’d shift over to one of his favorite topics- another dinner for the choir and the next menu. After Tuesday night choir practice, as we parted at the fountain, each heading to our car, it occured to me how special John was to our choir. That he was truely a kind, generous, loving man who enjoyed doing for others. Whether it was dinner for the FLN Choir or creating beautiful backdrops for the children’s Christmas Musical. Linda, thank you for sharing John with us these past years. Just as his place in life can never be filled, his place in our choir can never be filled. He will forever be in our thoughts, in our voices and in our hearts. Fondly, Patty Dschuhan

  4. Jeremy & Linda: My deepest condolences to you during this difficult time. My prayers are with you.

  5. John brought such joy to our lives! It was obvious that he loved to sing as he sang songs of praise at our church. With great passion, he would stand tall and ask us to be better stewards of this earth…to take care of God’s creation. His smile was infectious and his heart was BIG. We will miss John and our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

  6. Dear Linda, I’m so sorry to learn of the death of your husband. What a tragic loss, and at such a young age. Please accept my deep condolences. Sincerely,

  7. Debbie and I send our prayers to Linda and the Topper family. John was a great friend full of kindness and Love for everyone he will be greatly missed. If we can help with anything don’t hesitate to call on us. God Bless, Debbie and Gregg

  8. Dear Linda and family, I knew John through his work. I first met him as he was building the deck and patio for a neighbor. I was new to the neighborhood and he was kind and talked to me each evening as he completed his work. When it came time to build our deck and patio we chose John. We have the most beautiful deck and patio due to John’s attention to detail. We knew him briefly, but knew him as a kind loving family man with a great love for producing fine quality work. Our world needs more John Toppers. Our prayers are with you. Linda and Jim Marler

  9. I work for Jermey and I only met Mr. Topper when he came in to visit the store. When ever he came in to visit he would always talk to all the customers and make everyone happy. He was always nice to too and he didn’t even know me. He was a great man and he will be missed.

  10. John was a wonderful sweet person. He was always there to welcome us-very warm and friendly. We will miss him dearly.

  11. Jeremy and Family – I am very sorry for your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. Best regards, Jessica Bruner

  12. John is a very nice and Happy person. We will all miss him a Lot. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Topper Family.

  13. I worked with John for just a few months at Long Fence Co. I was the “new-guy” and although most of the staff was a bit stand-off-ish at first,..not John! He came right up to me and shook my hand, patted me on the back and welcomed me to the company. “Whatever you need or I can help you with, let me know,” he said “you can call me Topper.” And right away, we were friends. That’s the way he was, always ready to lend a hand and smile whenever he saw you. He was great. I’m a better person for having known him, and will miss his friendship. His strong and clear voice has been stilled but his memory will always be in our hearts.

  14. Linda: I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine what you are feeling at this very difficult time. I’ve been thinking about you. . I hope you will take the time you need.. Take good care.

  15. We are very sorry to hear about your loss. John was a loving and friendly person and a great joy to hear and see at church. Taylor spent some time with him at chior practice one night and said that he was one of the nicest people she has ever known. We will always remember John as a friendly man who always wanted the best for everyone.

  16. Linda: I was so sorry to hear about John’s untimely passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Donna Kates
