My sincerest condolences to the family, saw the notice in the Toronto Star on Thurs. May 26/16. I met Mr. Topping when i was hired in 1983 as the receptionist at Grafton Group. he was a true gentleman, well-liked by the staff. We shared a love of baseball, especially the Blue Jays, and he shared the company tickets with me. My step-father and i enjoyed many games thanks to his generosity. He would often invite up to the 6th floor before i started work to have a cup of tea, and we had many enjoyable conversations on a variety of subjects. His son Ted Jr. was also very kind and easy to work with. Thank-you for allowing me to leave this message, had often thought about Ted Sr., the few years after i left the company. R.I.P. Mr. Topping
