'I think of you often. You were not only my boss, but you were like a father figure to me. So many memories of us working together on the project. Lots of long hours. You are dearly missed. I will never ever forget you. Thank you for always looking out for me. It was an honor to be your admin assistant at Texas State. You loved your family dearly. Rest in paradise boss.'

'You're no longer physically with us Ted, but you're always here. The farm looks beautiful.'

'Ted coached me in baseball for the majority of my youth. I have nothing but great memories of those times. He helped me become the man that I am today.'

'Dear Ted may you rest in heaven with God. You were an awesome person and friend'

'I worked with Ted at Tesoro. He was such a fun person. We played softball when the boys were small The oldest two came home with us a couple of times to play with my son Brad Floyd. He was very smart and a hard worker.'

'I worked with Ted, at USAA. He was wonderful and very service oriented.'

'Ted was one of the nicest men I've known. He was completely dedicated to his wife and children. We had the blessing of living near the Trips for 30 years. Jason, Rusty and our oldest son, Trey, were in Boy Scouts together where we got to see Ted in action. What a great man. He made his mark on this earth through his beautiful family.'

'I have had many managers at USAA, and Ted was my all-time favorite. He was more like a Dad than a manager. He always trusted us, looked out for our best interest and fought for what he thought was right for his team. Yet at the same time, he was hands off and did not micromanage. He had a great sense of humor and led with a smile. Even after he left USAA we kept in touch a little, had a few reunion lunches, and it was great. He will be truly missed, and my heart goes out to the family. God bless you all.'

'I loved working with Ted at USAA!! He could always make me laugh!! The world has lost one of the good guys!! God bless the family!'

'I worked with Ted at USAA back in the 90's. He was a fun and energetic man and I learned a great deal from him. My prayers are with the family. He left too soon. God bless'

'Ted was a great manager to me for five years at USAA. He always had a smile and a caring nature about him. You knew that he had your best interest at heart. There were a couple of lunch gatherings after he left USAA to "catch up with Ted" and you knew you were always in for a good laugh and great conversation whenever Ted was in the room. I will miss his kind and caring nature but know he will be entertaining those in a much better place now.'

'I am saddened by Ted's passing. He was a great boss, mentor, and friend. I've never met anyone like Ted; so big and burly and yet such a peaceful soul. We lost a good one! God bless the Trip family!'

'Mr. Trip was probably one of my favorite teachers and faculty during my years at NBCA. Thankful for his teaching, his humor, and his humility as he served. Sending love to the Trip family!'

'Ted you were a great friend and co-worker and will be missed greatly. You lived the example of love for the Lord. We had good times playing softball against each other then together in 80's and 90's. We became co-workers at USAA and it was great to have you there. Later with you went to work at Texas State, I along with another friend Jim would come up there to have lunch with you because we missed you and wanted to see how things were going. Thank you for looking out for my daughter while she went to Texas State. I know you are in a better place. We will meet again in the near future with Lord Jesus. Until then you will be missed great friend.'

'Ted was a good man with a wonderful spence of humor. We both had great respect for him. We will always remember him in love. May each of his family have wonderful memories of him until you see him again. Love in Christ, Wes and Carolyn Alsobrooks. RIP TED!'

'Always enjoyed the friendly conversations with Ted. Good man! Ted was always helpful to us at New Braunfels Christian Academy.'

'Ted welcomed us with his big Texas heart when we were transplants from New England. We'll always remember his kindness.'

'Dear family, we were sad to hear of Ted's passing, but rejoice with you that he is no longer in pain. Our hearts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Looking to Christ, our blessed hope. Gavino and Ruth Perez, friends from FEAST in San Antonio.'

'Ted, You endured all your ailments with a heroic grace. You had little to fear from an uncertain future for you knew that you were right with the Lord. It has been an honor to know and call you friend. I'll look for you on the other side.'

'Oh I am so sad to hear this. What an amazing, loving and caring man Mr. Trip was. Always so kind to all of the kids at NBCA and patient with their silly parents. I ma brokenhearted for his family. God bless you all and please know that your father/husband was an extremely special man to all of us. - The Miner Family'

'ah jeez this sucks. I remember Teddy. I think he lived on Sally Gay, my street too and we went to Forbes, Connell and Highlands together. Super nice guy back then and from reading his obit. was a fine fine man. So, Teddy, look up my yellow lab "Dude" who we sent to heaven Dec. 26 2014. Fine fine dog. He will enjoy your company too. To the family: hang in there.'

'My condolences to Ted's family. I first met Ted when he was a Teaching Assistant at what was then SWT back in the 70's. We reconnected when he returned to Texas State 30 years later as a Project Manager in the Information Technology division. I remember Ted as a dedicated, jolly and good humored man who was quick to share a laugh and who could find the humor in even the most difficult situations. God bless him.'

'Ted it was a great honor knowing and working with you out at the farm. God bless you and your famley'

'My Dad and I were fortunate enough to befriend Ted just a few short years ago. Always a cheerful and gracious host, Ted was kind enough to adopt us out on his ranch for many memorable evenings around the campfire and some great hunting parties. Even as he suffered through ailments over the last couple of years, he was always engaging and a pleasure to be around. Ted's passing will leave a void that will remain unfilled. He'll be missed. Godspeed Ted.'

'To all of Ted's Family and friends...we send our condolences. May God send his love and peace to all of you at this time.'

'To Ted's Family, Ted will always be remembered as a friend. He always had a smile and a good story to tell. Having worked with Ted at USAA, and then sharing good times at our monthly retiree breakfasts, I know he will be missed, I extend my deepest condolences on your loss and will share your grief. Don Novian USAA Ex'

'Dear Terrie, Sandra, Shirley and all Ted's family members: We extend to you our deepest condolences in the loss of one so dear to you. Our hearts and prayers are with you.'
