Lumberville, Pa.—William “Jop” Jopling of Lumberville, Pa., CEO and founder of TW Flooring, passed away suddenly Nov. 1, 2016.

Starting out logging with horses in Vermont to setting up factories all over the world, Jop has been involved in just about every aspect of hardwood flooring.

Jop was a brilliant entrepreneur who pioneered the sourcing of global hardwood flooring. He was also a visionary and a champion of sustainable flooring. Engaged, loyal and passionate, Jop was an open-minded, globally-connected individual who forged deep bonds both personally and professionally, throughout his entire life.

In addition to his entrepreneurial success, he was a devoted father who shared life’s joys with his children, who are a reflection of his best qualities. Jop is survived by his three children, Zoey, Matthew and Trevor, former wife Valerie Jopling, sister Judy Osborn, brother Jeffrey Jopling, stepmother April Jopling and many other loved ones.
