Dear Tripp family and friends,
I wasn't lucky enough to meet Dr. Tripp in person, he was my puppy's vet for a year. After we moved away from DC, we decided to remain in his care, because he was so incredibly kind, dedicated and professional. We felt his care for our puppy and our learning process. And we are forever grateful. Much love, James and Natalia

Dear Chelsea, Tripp family and friends. Peter was a very good Vet I loved how much he liked cows. But more than that Peter was a great Human.  The world is a little more sad without him here.

Peter- It saddens my heart. You were such a good friend and you grew into a great man. I hope you can find peace now.
Tripp family, I send my deepest sympathies and love at this time. There aren’t enough truly good people in this world and now we have one fewer.

Peter was not only one of the best people in our veterinary class, but one of the best people in general. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, and he always kept me laughing with his quick wit and sarcasm. There are not enough words to express how much his loss has impacted everyone who knew him. He will be so deeply missed.

Candle lit  by Jacob Held on April 21st, 2022

Peter was such an optimistic and calming presence as a classmate in vet school. No matter what the situation he always seemed to find a positive outlook. He had a good sense of humor and was always so kind. My thoughts are with the Tripp family during this very difficult time.

I am so sorry for the loss of this wonderful soul. My heart breaks for Chelsea and all whom he left behind. Dr.Tripp was an amazing caregiver to both my then senior cat Sandy, and my rescue dog Daisy. No words suffice,and I will simply say I am so sorry for your loss and I am thankful for his wonderful heart.

My husband and I were so sad to hear this news. I had just taken our Annie for her annual check up recently and raved to my husband and my parents about how wonderful the visit was with Dr. Tripp. We are thinking of all those who loved him.

I’m so saddened by the loss of Peter. He was so kind & helpful during school & was always a welcoming face at the other end of the halls. Chelsea, I know we didn’t know each other long, having only shared one rotation, but please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything. I could never imagine losing my partner, my heart breaks for you & the rest of Peter’s family.

My heart hurts to hear of the passing of a amazing human and DVM . I found a mis spelled ink pen I got from Dr. Tripp the other day. Prayers for your family and may you rest in peace.

Dr. Tripp was my dogs’ vet at District Vet. I was saddened to hear about his passing. He was a great vet!! Had a chance to finally meet him in person after a year of talking on the phone during visits or emailing questions about my pets. He had a gentle demeanor and was so kind and knowledgeable about the care of my dogs. Praying for his family and loved ones he left behind. -Rhonda G.

So sad to learn of the passing of another veterinarian.  The professional climate has been so difficult during Covid.  So many vets and techs leaving the profession.  Prayers to the family

I am so deeply saddened to hear of Peter's passing. We had a tight knit group in high school and I look back on those memories so fondly. Even though life took us in different directions, I was always so proud of Peter and loved seeing him achieve his dream of being a veterinarian. I will forever remember Peter as the amazing friend he was to me. My deepest sympathies to all, sending love.

I am writing to offer my sympathies to Peter’s family and his partner Chelsea.  I am a fellow veterinarian, Dalmatian owner, and fight the battle of depression Peter was fighting.  My heart breaks for you and I am sending all the love I and our NOMV vet community has to offer.

I had the pleasure of working with Peter at the farm at Tufts. He was so helpful to me as a new student employee at the farm and always had a good sense of humor to help us get through some hot, stinky, summer days at the farm. I feel for Peters family and close friends as I can’t imagine the losses you must feel in the places that Peter filled.

Candle lit  by Ian Gagnon on April 25th, 2022

I first met Peter when we were roomates our freshmen year together at UNH. We later went on to enjoy a couple more years of living together. Peter always was there for people in need, and was a guy you knew you could count on when you needed it. I'll miss my friend.
My deepest condelances to Chelsea and Peter's family.

We had the privilege of getting to know Dr. Tripp as he cared for our two cats. He was extraordinarily dedicated and giving of his time. No words can adequately capture our feelings of gratitude for the experiences we had with him. We will always remember him as an incredibly compassionate, caring, dedicated, and thoughtful person. We will be holding his loved ones in our thoughts.

The news of the loss of Dr. Tripp is absolutely devastating.  He treated my dog on several occasions and he was thorough, compassionate, and knowledgeable.  It is clear he was an extremely kind and caring person all around.  My most sincere condolences to his friends and family.  

Candle lit  by Alyssa Stram on May 7th, 2022

Dr. Peter Tripp was the kindest most thoughtful vet we have ever known.  We are heartbroken, as is our rescue cat Pumpkin and our cancer survivor Littlebutt.  Peter patiently problem solved the overeating habits of our plump cat Gary, and never judged Mr. Bear for his rowdy behavior.  Our deepest sympathies to all his loved ones.

Dr. Tripp is an angel. He helped my grandson say goodbye to his ten-year-old cat, Bentley. It was heartbreaking, but Dr. Tripp softened the sadness with his kindness. I am saddened to hear that he is gone. He is truly an angel for my family. He is greatly missed. My prayers are with his family. Miss you Dr. Tripp.

He was a tender spirit. My grandson was comforted by Dr. Tripp when his cat of 10 years had to be laid to rest. What a wonderful and caring person.
