Though I only had the pleasure of meeting Travis a couple of brief times at NELUG gatherings, he was the kind of guy who instantly made you feel at ease around him, he had (...)

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 (...) (21 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 don't know what to say. Travis was like the sun, shining brightly for all to see. It was hard to lurk in the shadows when he was around, because his light would reach into the darkest of corners.
