Paul David Tople

Paul was a dear friend and colleague whose laughter and humor will always live in my heart.

To Pauls' family: I'm so very sorry for your horrific loss as I am just hearing of his passing only now... I worked at Metzger Photo in Akron, Ohio and the highlight for most us was when Paul would come to the store. For me he always inspired and gave me encouragement as I had just graduated with a fine arts degree in painting and Drawing but minored in Photo. But as time would have it I leaned more toward photography. We would talk shop and comment on Nikon lenses...and I probably showed...

As an art/photo. teacher in APS for 35 years I began teaching photography at Goodyear Junior High many years ago. One day I thought it would be really neat to have a professional photographer come and talk to my classes. So I made a "cold" call to the ABJ photo. dept. and someone said, "Sure, we can send someone out to talk to your kids."
Well, that was my lucky day!
Paul came out when I taught at Goodyear, East HS, and Firestone HS, where I finished my career as a full-time...

To the Tople family
So sorry to hear of Pauls passing. We had alot of fun over the years in Scouting, working on all the Summer camps, District events, Camporalls and Wood Badge Reunion dinners. I will always cherish the tons of great memories I have of him. His great smile and the laughter we shared. Rest in peace my friend. I look forward to seeing you again someday. God bless and keep you in his divine care. J.

JOHN and JULIE,

I didnt know Paul but heard lots of wonderful stories while I worked at Alpha.

I knew you were proud of him and loved him very much.

Prayers of comfort to all of you.
RIP Paul

Sally and family,
I pray you find comfort in your memories and knowing that his soul is now resting in Paradise.

Paul was one of the gentlest souls that I know. His smile would light up a room. May he rest in peace.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I took care of him as a patient and it was a pleasure to meet him and I wish the family the best.
