Wilmington, DE – The Governor extended his deepest sympathies to the family of Henry Topel, founding director of the Greater Wilmington Convention and Visitor’s Bureau and a former chairman of the state Democratic Party.
“The State of Delaware lost a true champion with the passing of Henry Topel. He was committed to highlighting the best Delaware had to offer and truly exemplified what it meant to be a community advocate and public servant. I had the privilege of calling him a friend, but also considered Henry a mentor and a role model.
“As we mourn his loss, those who knew Henry can take solace in knowing the incredible impact he’s had on our state, which will continue to resonate with residents and visitors alike.”
