What a gift it was to have Tophey's presence in my life.  From early swim team days to high school, he brought light and laughter to every situation.   His laugh and wonderful commentary will be dearly missed!   Love, Anne (Nelson) Coughlin 

Dear Mario, Joe and Courtney, 

I am sorry for your loss. Christopher’s light was so bright that he illuminated the path for many others. What a gift he was to all of us. May his memory be a blessing for all of you and all who loved him, biological family and chosen family, forever. We love you Christopher. 

Sending so much love from Baltimore.
