I'm sure it's surreal that Tripper has gone to a more peaceful place with mom.  He'll always be that cute little boy with so much energy.  We will always remember all the good times!!!
Love, Nora and  Abby

Dear Bill, Caroline and Elizabeth,

Tripper was a trip!!!   He was a beautiful boy and he will  always be a part of our memories.
Sincerely,
The Siegel family

Tripper,

I walked into Marko’s house one night after a long long work week (it was a Tuesday.) ***We were full grown adults at this point, at least 24....***  I dropped my heels by the steps of the pool and dipped my ever so non swollen toes and ankles into the pool (as if I really ever stood at work) to ease the “pain.”  As I did this in my dark torquioise Calvin Klein dress (size 4-THEN) you squealed out, “Go ahead Now  Corporate Katy!!!”  This has forever become my most favorite nickname... EVER! So much that I am feeling the strong urge to make a change to my Instagram name in your honor (big deal!) 

Although many many MANY fun activities have happened on those pool steps since then...this memory will forever stay in my heart. Your requests for the only dish I can make, buffalo chicken nachos, comes in a close second. 

Thank you for being you. For being chill. For being fun. For caring. You will be very much missed my sweet friend ! 

Tripper was one of the first people I met from USF. I came to USF from MD knowing nobody and mutual friends put us in touch. He welcomed me as if I were family, and became a great friend and big brother in the fraternity. He always had my back and was the life of the party! I was only at USF for a year, but it is sure one I will not forget. RIP Tripper, and my prayers and condolences to friends and family.

Tripper meant a lot to me. He was there to listen to me and was a shoulder to cry on.  He made me laugh all of the time. His smile could light up a room. After college we stayed in contact and would check in with each other from time to time. This stars are a little less bright with him gone. 

I was very close friends with Jan...we took many vacations together and talked frequently.  When she told me Tripper was moving to Charlotte, my husband and I immediately offered to have him live with us until he got settled.     So we met him in 2014.   I think he was with us for about three months.   I had just started painting and was trying to get into abstracts.   While I didn’t like the results, he eagerly offered to “buy” my first attempt so I could turn professional!  He wanted anything  for his blank apartment walls.   I still have the signed $1 bill he paid me taped to my easel!   I am glad we met Tripper!

I met Tripper in 2006 as a freshman at USF, a bunch of people were hanging out in Frank's room at the fraternity house. Tripper said he was bored and began to "dance" and encouraged others to join in, only you couldn't just dance, you had to dance like a "wild whacky inflatable arm man" like how he was dancing. It was a ridiculous and hilariously good time, much like Tripper.  Many other great and funny memories of Tripper throughout college and a few library memories as well, he is missed.

I’ve known Tripper for 31 years. I have so many found memories growing up together on Blue Valley Drive. I remember my sister promising us candy from the convenient store  “High’s” if we attended her “Blue Valley Camp” when we were in preschool.  She never got us our candy, and Tripper still brought it up well into our 30’s. As preschoolers, my sister made us get “married” on the fireplace hearth in our living room. I remember Ms. Page taking us in the station wagon to the movies at White Flint Mall to see Home Alone when it was first released. We joked that Tripper was Macaulay Caulkin, as they looked so much alike. Sometimes I would hear Tripper practicing playing the piano while I rode my bike outside. Towards the end of his session, he would bang the keys to make a racket and I’d hear Ms. Page yell “You’re in hot water Tripper!” One of my favorite trips was when Liz and I visited Tripper in Tampa while he was in college. He was always so happy and the life of the party. Most recently, I would pull up to my mom’s house and see his cat running towards my car to greet me. Every time I saw Mr. Kitty I thought of Tripper because he is just like him... a little rebellious yet super sweet. Over the years it had been really special to see Tripper grow into a man, as Liz and I always looked up to him. He was the big brother I never had. Words can’t describe how much I’m going to miss him. 

Tripper was one of the first people I knew at USF, before I even went to school there! He helped me move into my sorority house, and we had memorable road trips back and forth from Maryland and Tampa. He was funny, charming, smart, and kind-hearted. He is a big part of my college memories.

I will never forget the time we thought it would be a good idea to bite into a habanero pepper from mom’s garden. Glad you went first :)

Too bad we didn’t know you should have drank milk and not eaten popsicle after popsicle. 

Miss you big bro!

Trip was one of my first friends when I came to Tampa. He was a loyal friend who had a great heart. For over fifteen years we were incredibly close - I don’t think a week ever went by that we didn’t talk. Whether we were studying, camping, wilin’ at the presh, or just hanging out, Tripper was a great friend that I will never forget. Thanks for the memories buddy. 

I remember growing up as a child in Montgomery County and attending WT Page Elementary School. I met Tripper in preschool and continued to study with him. We were good friends and we hanged out a lot. We played Nintendo games like "Contra", "Super Mario Bros", "Mega Man", and much more. Also we were involved in Cub Scouts near Silver Spring, MD.  A lot of other friends and classmates to came like Josh Diamond, Kalen Johnson, Ben Voight, Josh White, Justin Holden, Jack Meyers, and Jordy.  A lot of great childhood memories of Tripper. I will miss him a lot and my deepest condolences to his family.  May God bless his family and support them during this moment of pain & sorrow. 

I think Tripper was “adopted” by many families in our extended neighborhood.  He and Kalen became best friends in preschool, followed by sleepovers, trips to the mall, and sightseeing ventures, including his college graduation.  I remember Janet saying that he made her smile...me, too.  I miss and love you!   

Carolyn

You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Renee Horn

Another picture from Tripper's years in Houston!  Getting ready to leave for Maryland!

We have many happy memories of living two doors down from the Pages in Houston.  Here are two that have to do with Tripper.

One warm day there was a knock on our door and who should be there but little Tripper, who decided to come over for a visit, without any clothes on! We called Janet and said "Tripper is at our house" and I think she said :"that's nice, I'll be over to get him." Then we told her "but Janet , he's naked!" 

We were watching Caroline one afternoon while Janet, Liz, and Tripper went on some errand.  Janet came over to pick up Caroline, and came into the house, leaving Tripper and Liz in the car.  I'm sure she only intended to be inside for a second, but shortly after she came in, we heard a loud bang followed by the whanging of the gararge door spring.  Tripper has somehow put the car in gear and bumped into the column between our garage doors! Fortunately,  house, car and children were undamaged!  


Tripper May you Rest In Peace. I will always look back with many laughs on good times in college. The best was finding out you were also from Maryland and having a buddy to drive home from USF back MD with—stopping at South of the Border for obligatory pictures was so funny! Thank you for being a friend. You are missed more than you know. 

Prayers for you and your family at this time. Please know that we are thinking of you.

Dear Bill and Janet,

I am so sorry to hear about your son's passing.  I can't imagine what you are going through but hope that you have family and friends near to help you through it all.   Lorraine and I will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.  Feel free to reach out to us any time.

Your friend always,

David

We remember when Josh was born that we heard there was a little boy down the street the same age.  We were overjoyed that he would have someone to play and hangout with.  This wish came true and they became lifelong friends.  Tripper was a welcome frequent visitor in our home and we used to lovingly kid him about what color or what kind of wallpaper he wants in "his" room.   A bond was established with not only both our sons Josh and Jeremy, but with us as well.  Tripper will be fondly remembered and always have a place in our hearts.
