Topper was the rare type of friend that everyone needs. He welcomed you with a smile, kept his promises, and was helpful. I will always appreciate his efforts to make my wedding a memorable and beautiful experience. He will be greatly missed. Sending love to Mommy, Ellen, his family, and many friends ♥️
What a wonderful tribute to Topper at England Hill FWB. I felt the love of Family An d Friends and could tell this man will leave a deep void
. Prayers for this wonderful family. Till we meet again Topper!
I will always remember Topper as my protector. He was always asking me as a young boy and loving cousin. ” anybody bothering you” ? I felt safe around him , except when we would drive in his car. He tended to take his hands off the steering wheel a little to often. I love Topper Spry, he is family, his is blood. I cant wait to sit around in our next life and laugh about the good times we had as young children and catch up on what I missed of his life. My prayers and heart felt condolences to his family. I do look forward to someday meeting those I have not met. God Bless
You have our deepest sympathy. Prayers for peace during this difficult time. I will always have fond memories of fun times in high school with Topper. He truly was one of a kind and gone too soon.
I was so sorry to hear of Topper’s passing. Danny sent me the news. I’ll be praying for you during this time.
