Topher was a very dear and loving brother, who I will miss. We may not always have agreed on issues, but he would listen. He was a good, selfless man who helped very many people, me included. I'm glad that he was peaceful at the end and that I was with him for his last four weeks of life. Hopefully he now realises the love and respect in which he was held, something he doubted in life. Thanks for being my big brother for so many years
