Condolence: Joseph Tripoli was an exceptional man of many great qualities. He possessed a brilliant mind, kind heart and beautiful spirit. I met Joe back in the mid 80's. I was a homeless kid who knew nothing and needed a mentor. He taught me everything about electronics, soldering, wiring, installations and more. The wealth of knowledge I gained was beyond priceless. Joe was the Dad I never had. If it were not for this amazing man I would never have amounted to anything. Joe was the most important person to ever influence my life and save a kid from a short life on the streets. Joe, I can never thank you enough for saving my life.

Condolence: I was once had the honor of being a student of Shihan Tripoli at his dojo starting at age thirteen many years ago. His skill and dedication to the martial arts and his strength and character were larger influences in my life than I'm sure he ever realized. I think of him often. I am very sad to hear of his passing.

あなたがいなくなると寂しくなります

Condolence: I knew Allen from work. I appreciated his candor and straight-forward talk. I think he enjoyed explaining and sharing his knowledge of all things electrical/mechanical. I will miss him. Rest in peace, Allen.

Condolence: Allen and I became friends through work and our interest in martial arts. I will always remember our lunches and talks. He lived his life to the code of Bushido. He was a great man and is missed. Rest in peace Shihan.

Condolence: Allen,
Was a dedicated unionist and long time member of IFPTE Local 3 at NSWCPD. Local 3 was very fortunate to have Allen as part of our union family. Allen was a caring person
who always put his union brothers and sisters first. God bless you brother Allen.

"Fraternally"
