In Memoriam by Zach Theatre: Mort Topfer

 

ZACH Theatre mourns the loss of Mort Topfer, our beloved patron, esteemed philanthropist and friend. Mort passed away last week after a brief illness, surrounded by his loving wife and family.

Mort and Bobbi Topfer's commitment to Central Texas charities and to ZACH is generous and exemplary. Their involvement and dedication was instrumental to make the Topfer Theatre an exciting addition to the Austin arts scene. Mort served as a valued member of our Board of Trustees and Finance Committee, contributing his keen intellect and business acumen to our strategic initiatives. Together the Topfers chaired our fundraising galas, creating unforgettable moments and a tremendous amount of delight, drawing on Bobbi's unmatched expertise in party and event planning.

Mort's sense of humor, and his vibrant spirit left a lasting impression for anyone fortunate to work alongside him. His laughter and presence at ZACH events and shows will be deeply missed.

Mort and Bobbi's significant legacy lives on in the thousands of students, artists, and audiences who are touched by the magic of ZACH Theatre every year. Our heartfelt condolences go out to Bobbi, the light in Mort's eye, and his cherished family.

Unforgettable, in every way...

With love and gratitude, 
ZACH Theatre
