Guy behind me cut the tops out of three of his pines after the storm. I asked him if he was going to take them down sat and said no. Have heard they will die if topped, am I incorrect?

Not a Foresterr but yes they will die sooner than later. They have to have leaves (needles) to produce food
Oaks and some young pines will coppice (resprout) after you cut them but large pines won’t

What I have been told, guy is a business man in LC so he should have some deep pockets when they fall on fence and possibly boat. Keeping boat far enough from them for now but can’t move house.

Make sure you have documentation about your concerns being voiced to the owner, as well as having someone deem the trees unsafe. If you don't have any documentation of the trees being unsafe and a hazard, then them falling will just being considered an act of God.

Yeah they'll die, bugs will probably get in them and finish them off.
Is this neighbor dude a known moron?

I get a few of these every year. Hate them because the victim is often uninsured, while the tree owner is. You can guess who district judges favor on that.

Cutting the top out of a tree removes the terminal bud whose function is to make the tree grow upwards. There is only one terminal bud. Many trees lose their terminal bud during storms. Each bud on the end of lateral branches are the perineal buds. They allow branches to grow out. A tree will not die if the
terminal bud is removed, just contInue to grow out and not up.

Told me he paid $6,250 to trim them and wasn't paying anymore. 
Dead or sick trees are all on the owner, seen too many try the act of god explanation dealing with claims in laffy. Can always get TopwaterTiger send him a letter down the road.
