When i was a kid i thought trimpers was the coolest thing in the world. i liked the armored horse the best. sleep well sir, thanks for the memories.
Pop Pop, I will miss you but am glad you will be at peace in heaven. Thank you for everything. You are such a wonderful person and I have always looked up to you. I am so proud to be your grandaughter and I love you so much, forever and always.
I couldn't ride the horses on Assateque but riding on your carousel was just as good. Thank you for those wonderful memories so many years ago and for making my childhood a magical one.
RIP Mr. Trimper. Condolences to the family. Mr. Trimper was one of the originals that helped make Ocean City what it is today. Along with Bill Caine, Hugh Cropper, Buddy Jenkins, Harry Kelly, Jim Mathias, John Fager, Bo Riggerio and a slew more I can't think of at the moment.
I have my memories as well, i as a teenager and then taking my children down to ride the rides. Mr. Trimper rest in peace, May you rest in Heaven and may God give peace and strength to your family to get through this. God bless you all!
Mr. Trimper RIP. You made my childhood full of cool memories when I was in Ocean City. Thank you for all of those wonderful memories.

Don't forget Max Berg (the initial condo developer on the strip) and Bobby Baker (the original Carousel) and the folks that started and then ran Edward's all those years. And Cullen Jenkins (Buddy's dad). How about Thelma Conner, too. And the man who was behind the scenes for much of it -- George Bert Cropper!
saw him riding on his cart in the spring checking out his new ride. He was smiling like a kid. Said he was going to get his knee operated on the next day.
Rest in peace, sir. You left a legacy in many ways.
Chelsea, let your family know, our thoughts are with you.
RIP Mr. Trimper!
I grew up in the park and spent a many of summers there while my Grandmother (Lotus) worked for Trimpers. You and your family have always been good to our family and you will be missed greatly.
Thank you Granville Trimper and family for all the fun times on the Boardwalk in Ocean City. My Mom and Dad loved to take us there and we loved it just as much. Your old Big Eli ferris wheel is my favorite, along with all the other classic rides. Rest in Peace Granville. God bless the Trimper family.

I worked for Granville & Trimper Rides for 11 years. Not only was he a boss but a friend as well. He will be sadly missed. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
