We have lost Rip

[david hill]

This has been a devastating time for me. First the loss of @LocuMob and now @Ripinator. When I lost my mom the first of Dec. Rip was one of the first members to reach out to me. That's the kind of guy you are lucky to have as a friend. I first met Rip at My first trip to Carlisle in 2020. We would cross paths at Carlisle many times in the years following. Rip was always a first class guy w/ a integrity befitting him. My deepest condolences to his son Jeff and his family.

I've seen alot of his posts, but never struck a conversation with the man. R.i.p good sir, my thoughts are with you and your family.

Sad news indeed. Even though I never met RIP in person, I felt I knew him very well as he often ribbed me good naturedly about many things I posted. He seemed like a really friendly and happy guy. At least his battle with cancer is over and I trust he is now in a much better place where he will be welcomed whole heartedly. RIP my friend..........

My deepest condolences to the family.
@Ripinator was a class act, and always seemed to live his life to the fullest.
Sad news we lost another good guy.

From 2020 Carlisle. Rip is the "old man with a hat" right in the middle.

Scott @LocuMob is standing to Rip's right, and seen three people to his left in the photo. Two friends lost in just a few weeks, who were great contributors to this site.

Here is a 2016 photo from Carlisle, showing Rip with his trademark hat. Paging all the folks who are in the photo and @commando1
