Hello TP Friends,
I am shocked and deeply saddened by the sudden loss of my pony friend of many, many years, Topher aka @heftysmurf76.
The news of his sudden passing has been spreading through social media today, but for the sake of those who do not use any of those sites, I am sharing my remarks here. The details of his passing and of any arrangements have not yet been shared by his family. Please respect their privacy at this time.
Topher and I saw each other almost every year at the MD Pony Meet, at the MLP Fairs, and had some amazingly fun times at group dinners, escape rooms, and toy shows. We talked often and at great length.
Topher, I will remember you as someone who always smiled through the storm, who was warm, kind, loving, and delightful person.
Thank you for all of your support for my projects. Thank you for all the special gifts and messages you gave to my dear late Marzipan from miss Winnie, and for always keeping us in your heart. Thank you for being my friend.
@Gingerbread, @Hindsight, and @MintamenaPie, I am sorry to be the one to share this with you. The MDPM Committee has begun making arrangements to honor Topher's long and vibrant history with the MDPM at the meet next month.
Update 3/18/24:
A GoFundMe has been created to help with Topher's arrangements and care for his mother and his dog:

If you are not in a place to financially contribute at this time, please consider sharing this link to make others in the communities he belonged to aware that the GoFundMe is up.
