Dear Lorna and Family,
I am very sorry for your loss.
Rip was a great guy and good friend.
I learned so much from him I wouldn't know where to begin.
He was a great storyteller and I still tell a few jokes he told me through the years. A few of you know how much he meant to me and I feel a great loss as well.
I'll miss him deeply and I hope you all get through this tough time remembering all great things he did and doing what he loved.
Sincerely
Grant
