I just learned of Trip's passing from HSC Record and was shocked by the news. Really hit home as he is the second contemporary I have learned of passing this week. Like Turner, I was a fraternity brother to Trip at Theta Chi and a suite mate when he was Sophomore, and like Skip, I lost touch as life happened. Trip was a generous person who loved life. Reading his BIO, I think he lived his passion. It all made total sense hearing about his adventures and accomplishments pursuing nature. ...

Trip was truly one of the good ones. He was a great and close friend while at VES and his first year at Hampton-Sydney, but we lost contact over the intervening years. My sincere condolences to his family.

My sincere condolences to Nancy, Bucky and the entire family. I did not have the privilege of meeting Tripp but felt I knew him from all the many stories shared by Nancy. May God continue to comfort.

I´m very sorry to hear this news about Trip. We worked together on Project Puffin in the 80´s. Trip was a very thoughtful and kind young man, who, knowing that I was getting my SCUBA certification, donated his wetsuit at to me at the end of the field season in Maine. My sympathies to family and friends.

Still remember working with Trip on my first evac of a patient out of Antarctica... we did it by the book with the guiding hand of Matt Drennan...aaah the days in Antarctica

Nancy and Bucky, to two people who have more love for everyone than anyone I know, I am so sorry for your loss. His love for life and nature sprang from the fact that you loved him well. May you know in this sad time that you, too, are loved by so many. Guy and Marie Arcuri
