I'm just now reading all these posts at around 12:17AM on the 25th. Words are a poor tribute but I will try nonetheless. I loved Travis' MOC's right from the start. As Mladen Pejic said, his design style was unique. His creations have a very strong (...) (22 years ago, 25-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)

I too never met Travis in person. I only knew him from his posts here and talking to him in the chat rooms. He was a great guy and his Moc's were inspirational. I am really going to miss the 80's T.V. hover cars he did. Those were awesome. I think (...) (22 years ago, 25-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, FTX)

Thank you Travis for sharing that light with me. (...) (22 years ago, 24-Dec-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, FTX)
