Mark L. Ripperger

I grew up with Mark and the Ripperger family in Blue Ash back in the 1950's and early 1960s'. Our family homes' backyards ran into each other. There were countless pick-up baseball & football games in our backyards; we had a small wooded area next door to play in, fishing in the Natorps' lakes (now gone), and excursions into Camp Helen Mary (also gone). Mark was a great childhood buddy. Although our adult lives took us separate ways, Mark will always be in my memory. My sincere condolences...

I worked with Mark for about 10 years or so. Mark taught me a lot not only about work but life. Mark was a great man and will always be remembered.

Mark was a good football official back in the day, and we got to know each other better at the football official mtgs. that we had, and I was the Secretary of the official's association.

Mark, as well as his brother Paul, we're two great guys. Funny and nice. I got to know both of them "back in the day" through mutual friends and softball games. In later years, I was pleased to see Mark again as he often umpired my son's teen baseball games. So sorry for your loss - Mark was an easy going, always friendly man.

Mark was a great friend. We met at Moeller HS and we became good friends. He invited me over to his home and I got to meet the whole Ripperger family who all made me feel welcome. It was great to get to know them all. We did so many fun things together - hunted, all kinds of sports and shot a great deal of pool after school. What was really cool is that later in life our sons played in the same basketball league and we go to get reacquainted and hang together often. He will be missed and...

Rip, the number of weekends we spent in my basement shooting pool will always be some of the greatest memories I have as a teenager. Rest in peace my good friend.
