This is sad to hear. He was a great artist and he will be missed.
Interestingly enough, I went to college with his nephew. Lastly, His last name is pronounced "trimp-ee" and not "trimp".

Wow. That's kind of a shock. I just saw him last year at Phoenix Comic Con...
I'm sorry to hear of his passing and my best goes out to his family. |

First G.I.Joe artist ever. Respect.
He's the co-creator or sole creator of the Oktober Guard? |

Definitely a sad loss.
This is the history on the creation of the Oktober Guard. He and Tom Defalco created Pravda Patrol before G.I. Joe #1, then used them in G.I. Joe. Hasbro said they don't want to use someone else's characters, so they forced them to redraw and rename them all into Oktober Guard. Still unexplained is how Pravda Patrol's Big Bear later became a G.I. Joe character looking more or less the same as Defalco/Trimpe's version. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-1-1982-a.html |

Man, he was still drawing G.I. Joe covers until recently. I'll always think of him when I read a Joe comic he's rendered...
