David A. Ribble Sr.

Dad you will always be my best friend. Because of your example, I learned the values of love, honesty, hard work, commitment in doing the right thing, standing up for what you believe in, being a true friend, having a sense of humor, living life to the fullest, and loving family with all your heart. Your love of the Lord and your faith sustained you all the days of your 93 years. Your music was your gift and you freely gave it to others. All the things that you achieved in your life made me...

How blessed I have been to have had my grandfather for all my 54 years. As he always used to tell me, you are more like my daughter than my granddaughter - he was more like a father, to me. I'll never forget all the vacations and fun times and all the things Carol and I did to "get your attention". I miss you so much and am just sorry that in the last few years our times together have been short. I'm so happy we were together for you to meet your great great grandchildren and I look forward...

I thank God for giving me such a wonderful Dad and for letting him stay here with us for almost 94 years. He cared so deeply for his family and was the happiest when we were all together. I know he is in heaven and probably signing up music students. I love you Dad so very much. We will miss you every single day but know one day we will all be together again and how happy we will be. With much love, Your Daughter, Barbara

I will miss you very much!I will

If someone came to visit you and
they left their heart would be warm
forever!You will always be in my
heart! I LOVE YOU!

My heart is so sad, but my soul is at peace knowing that my Papa is so very happy now with the Lord. His example of living life and loving God is one we should all follow.
I love you Papa Ribble.

Condolences from the extended family in Alvarado, Texas. I know you don't know me, but Alton was my great uncle Ben's brother. My family will be remembering you in our prayers. May God bless you in this time of loss. The Doug Rauch Family

I am going to miss my dear sweet Papa Ribble, but I know that as he
entered heaven's gates the Lord said
"Well done, good and faithful servant!" (Matt.25:21) He brought to
us so much love, joy, and happiness.
His life blessed all who knew him and I will always carry a memory of him in my heart. I love you Papa!

Not too many people have the opportunity to know and make memories with their great grandfather. Matt and I have been blessed to have Papa in our lives and our daughter is even more blessed to have had a chance to meet her great, great grandfather. What a life and what wonderful memories we will always have.

We wish to express our deepest sorrow at your lost. May God be by your family's side.
