To the Toporek family. What a surprise to find out this news. Though this is long over due I would be remiss if I didn't state My deepest condolences to you over the loss of Julian. He truly was a brilliant man and a very understanding employer. On to glory may he rest with the Lord and may you all be at peace. God bless you.
