I just found out he's gone. I knew this wonderful sweet man for most of my life. He was like a grandfather to me. He was an amazing artist that taught me so many things. I met him when I was only 9. I've been in his living room sharing meals and stories. He taught me how to paint a tulip and so much more. His house was a work of art. His garden was the most magical thing I had ever seen. His art studio was everything I had ever dreamed of. I will miss him for an eternity.

sincerest condolences to the family and especially to you Lois.  Don was such a caring and talented man.  I enjoyed our interaction on trips and in his studio as a sculpture student over the years.

Happy to have had so many opportunities to share Grandpa Trippy with my kids and let them see how amazing he was in so many ways! They adore him and will cherish the memories they made with him.
