Harry Tripp's Obituary
Reverend Harry James Tripp,
May 27, 1931 - December 15, 2021.
Reverend Harry James Tripp of Northridge, California, formerly of North Collins, New York entered into eternal rest on December 15, 2021 at the age of 90. Devoted husband of the late Esther May Tripp (Munson); loving father of Cynthia (Michael) Rolka, H. James (Shelley Tarshis) Tripp, Patricia (Larry) Rovetti, Pamela (late Lawrence Montes) Tripp, and Deborah (John) LoBianco; Cherished grandfather of Jason (Melissa) Rolka, Jody (Thomas) Kolojeski, Jennifer (Stephen) Andris, Mallory, Lauren and Jossilen Montes, Giorgio (Lindsey) LoBianco, John J. (Nicole) LoBianco; beloved great-grandfather of Carter, Caroline, Andrew, Sam, Ashley, Katelyn, Aubrie, Luca. Leo, Mila and Ruby. Brother of Carol Rolison and the late Lorraine Selleck, Janice Smith and Barbara Clemons.
Harry attended Elim Bible College in Lima, New York and was ordained as a Reverend in 1949. He continued pastoring churches throughout New York State, including Gowanda Assembly of God Church in Gowanda, New York and Christian Fellowship Church in North Collins, New York. In 1972 he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from SUNY Fredonia. One of his proudest accomplishments was when he accepted the Lord's calling to pastor Christian Assembly of God Church in Cortland, New York. He took a dwindling congregation and transformed it into a thriving religious community that resulted in the construction of a new church building in 1990. Harry retired in 1995, but he continued working in the ministry throughout his entire retirement years conducting services and Bible studies in various nursing homes and at his home church.
Harry cherished his family and enjoyed spending quality time with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His lifelong goal was to make a difference in the lives of all the people he touched, and there is no doubt that he succeeded.
