Julie Marie Topp

I heard just today of the unfortunate fate of Robert's dear wife. My heart is aching with hurt for all of you. I worked with Robert for a long time when we were associated with Nekton, Inc. I became very attached to Robert's warm heart, generosity toward others, and his compassion and willingness to reach out to others. To Mr. and Mrs. Topp, my deepest and most sincere thoughts are with you at this time as you go through the pain of trying to console Robert. To the family of dear Julie, I...

Please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with the Topp and Olson families during this difficult time.

Though I only worked with Julie at Juut for a little over a year, she made a big impact on my life. Nearly every day I worked, I would start out with a warm greeting and big smile from Julie. She always seemed so happy and upbeat. I know she was very in love with Robert... after her wedding and then again after their trip, she would display photos at her work station for all of us to see. I was greatly saddened to learn of her loss. To Robert and her family, I will never forget Julie and want...

We were so sad to hear of Julie Marie's death. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Robert, whom we've known since he was a child in Puerto Rico.

I had the pleasure of meeting Robert at Hoigaards when he would come in to visit Bobbi Sipe. He always had a smile on his face. Then, he told us that he had a girlfriend and her name was Julie and that they were going to get married. So, we finally got to meet Julie, and we knew they were in love. Julie was so happy and she always gave the best hugs!! She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of Robert and Julie. Sincerely, (another friend from Hoigaards) Peg Englund.

I was so very sad to hear the news about Julie. I also had the pleasure of meeting Julie at Hoigaards. My story is a little different. I also have a special needs daughter. She is 16. To me Robert and Julie are role models. They accomplished so much. I loved hearing what they were doing. I would tell everyone about them. Anything was possible. They were so wonderful together. They were so happy and worked so hard to be together. How lucky they were to have such wonderful parents. You...

I only worked with Julie for a short time at the Wayzata Juut before I transferred to a different location. But everytime I popped in for a visit, Julie would make me feel so good by giving me a big hug and saying something nice to me. Then she would fill me in on what was going on in her life. I last saw her a couple months ago when she was already talking about her upcoming anniversary & showing me a picture of her husband.

I was very saddened to hear of her passing. She...

My heart goes out to Robert and their families. Julie showed you excitement in the everyday things that we sometimes take for granted.
I will miss her at JUUT and will be forever looking for Julie when I see Jana.

Julie was one of the pioneer Opportunity Workshop employees in our Juut Wayzata location. I always made sure to find Julie to say hi, as she made my day so extraordinary by always giving me a hug and telling me that I was her favorite boss. She was always one of my favorite employees. She was the embodiment of Daymaking. She was so proud of being a Juut team member and always lit up the room she was in. I remember her taking the stage and the runway at our 2004 Summit and she stole the show?...
