A Message From the Family
As we bring this celebration of Tripoli’s life to a close, we want to thank every family member, every friend, every client and every person in the community who loved and supported him along the way.
Your prayers, your presence, your kind words and the memories you shared mean more than words can express.
Though Tripoli is no longer with us physically, his love, his laughter, his creativity and the lives he touched will continue to live through each of us.
With Love and Gratitude,
Patricia Watson & Family
