I had the pleasure of knowing both your parents during the time they would come into my family restaurant in Rhinebeck, The Fox Hollow Inn. They would always have the same quiet table by a corner window and I would make it a point to speak with them. When your mother would see me she would
always say, " Hello, dolly..."
What a gentle and loving couple. I will always remember them both.

I never had the honor of meeting Irv Tripp, but I "knew" him through his splendid craftsmanship in the comic book industry. His work was a constant joy to me and thousands of fans over the decades.

Boy, do I love reading Mr. Tripp's Little Lulu comics to my 4-year old daughter. They are just as entertaining to me as they are to her. What a wonderful legacy he has left behind. Rest in peace.

I knew Bud for many years as a faithful brother at Central Church of Christ, Haines City, FL. He always smiled and had a servant's heart. He will be missed by his church family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the
family of Bud. He was such a pleasant,
easy going person and such talent as we
have not seen in quite some time. Always doing until he could no more.
Our thoughts with Louise also....such a nice couple.
We will miss him .
