Dear Joan,
It was truly an honor to know you and Top. I remember when he first came to French High, he was scared to death to teach the kids. Here I was a young principal who had served in the Army during Vietnam, but never saw combat. I thought, here is a true hero and he is concerned about teaching a bunch of kids. Well it didn't take Top long to realize he was a natural to teaching. He touched a lot of young lives and it was truly an honor for me to work with him. I know he had some issues with some of the events during his service, but he brought comfort to me in my own issues of never having served in combat yet losing some my close friends I had trained with.
Top was a true American, a beloved educator, and a real American hero. May God bless you and your family.

I was a student of Top's at West Brook he was one of my fav's next to Cdr Franz. Everytime I would see him after high school he would always tell me I was getting old. He will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to his family.

Top was a great ROTC instructor at French High School! He was dedicated, fair, tough, and determined to teach young men and women about honor and discipline. He was a great, great man!

To the Poulson family,
My son was an ROTC student of Top's at Westbrook in the late 80's and Top was such a wonderful influence on him. I had the good fortune to chaperone many of the trips the group took so I got to know Top well. He was such a wonderful man. Because of his service to our country and his teaching of the young people of Beaumont, he will be missed by many. Peace be with you and your family.

Mrs.Poulson and Joy,
I am so sorry for your loss. I thought the world of your husband. He was always such a kidder and loved talking with my daughter Brianna. I will always remember his love of you, Joy, and Stormy. I loved hearing his stories of ya'lls travels together. Now, he is keeping Stormy company, since she has been waiting for one of you. He is not alone, just enjoying her again and having fun. My heart and prayers go out to you. Thank you for letting me know him. Liane and Brianna Buckley from Delaware Animal Clinic
