Tripp always had a "Hi" or "How are you doing?" everyday; regardless of what was going on around us. He always made me smile. I will miss his gentle kindness.

Tripp showed me kindness amongst the caios . I asked him once Tripp how do you do it? How do you not let things get to you? His reponse " I met a man named Jesus" That was the most honest and bold to his faith answer that I believe made Jesus smile when He heard it. Tripp I will miss you Sir. God Bless and prayers for your family.
