This is very sad...
Larry Tople, the longtime illustrator whose work has adorned the covers of In-Fisherman for more than 40 years, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 83.
A Michigan native who resided in Dearborn Heights, just west of Detroit, Tople was a man of many artistic styles, stemming from his early training and ad agency work as a commercial artist in the automotive industry.
