EULOGY

Charles Tucker III, better known as Trip, was one of the most gifted engineers I've ever known. He never gave in to doubts when presented with an engineering challenge; he would try anything and everything to succeed. His innovations, which kept us alive over these past 10 years, are now standard features in starship design.

He was also selfless when it came to caring for others. So many of us owe our lives to him ... not just for this ultimate sacrifice he made, but for countless acts of heroism over the years. He will surely be missed ... but never forgotten.
