Albert F. Ruppel

Mrs. Ruppel-

Your husband has been one of my customers at CVS since I first became a Pharmacist. He always had a smile on his face and asked me about my children. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing and I will never forget how kind he was to me especially when I first came out of pharmacy school. May he rest in peace.

To The Ruppel Family:

I am deeply saddened to hear of Al's passing and please accept my condolences. I had known Al for a number of years as we have played Euchre on many of Friday nights. He was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed.

Bill and Rick,

I was saddened to hear of Al's passing. The best summers of my life were spent playing baseball for all of you.

I sill have those beloved Yankees jackets that were such a symbol of pride and hard work.

I never had a nicer coach who surrounded himself with such great people. Absolutely the best summers of my teen years.

He will be missed.

To Al Ruppel's family---

I am sure I am one of many who had the privilege of working at Ruppel's Art and Paint Supply while in college during the mid 1980’s. No, I did not study art but came to know Al and Harry's devotion to the college art student and I remember most product lines to this day! Al, of course, knew all the poster board colors and numbers by memory. It was a great college job----learning about the art tools and making deliveries in the famous Ruppel van to area art...

Dear Ruppel family, Your family's 'expertise' in the art world allowed me to score quite a few art awards and graduate from Akron U's Theater Department with high marks in the field of Design Tech. My dad ( a draftsman @ B&W of Barberton) use to drive by your first store on Howard Street and with a sigh, turn to me saying, "I wish that was in a better place." He later got his wish and I now cherish a beautifully 'framed' picture from your store in his memory. With deepest sympathies and many...
