Edward Ripley

To the family of Ed Ripley,
You have been in my thoughts and prayers and I am so sorry for your loss. I began working with Ed 4 years ago and I am honored that I was able to work with him. I miss speaking with him as he always made me laugh with his sense of humor. He always had a way of finding the good in a bad situation and was always upbeat and positive. God be with all of you and comfort you.

I only knew you here for a short while Ed, but it was all quality time. You are just as you said, a gentleman. A very funny gentleman.
I will see you again, one day, I am sure.
May God hold all of your family and friends in His loving arms and give them peace and joy.

Our deepest sympathy to the entire Ripley family. Hank and Shannon, we have never met but have known your dad's family for over 50 years. Wayne, Debby, my wife Patsy and I all graduated from high school together. Ed, Junior and Wayne were all 3 of the finest young men you could ever meet. Reading about his life he never lost his comical personality and maintained being a sincerely nice person. Evelyn, our thoughts are with you in the loss of a son. My mother experienced that loss and I lost a...

Miss Evelyn, Wayne, & Jr.,
I was shock to see on Facebook about Ed's death. Miss Evelyn, I can't imagine your pain. I can think of nothing worse than to loose a child regardless of age. Growing up in Mathews Ed always had a smile for everyone and a friend to all he met a trait that he kept throughout his life from what I read in these postings. Please know you all have my deepest sympathy and are in my thoughts and prayers.

It came to me as such a surprise to hear of Ed's passing. I have not seen him or talked to him in many years but we were in the same household for a few years. You all are in our thoughts and prayers and hope God will give you comfort at this difficult time. He was a very nice person with a great sense of humor.

Evelyn, George and Wayne: I just learned of Ed's passing. I am deeply sadden. I haven't seen Ed in many years but often thought about Ed and cherish knowing him as a classmate, friend and team memeber of differnet athletic teams. He was a special young man and sounds like he grew up to be an exceptional man. My prayers are with you all, his wife and children.

I was so saddened to hear of Ed's passing. I have fond memories of our high school days together and our drama class. The laughs he brought to our club and our play will always be remembered. Sincere sympathies to his family and loved ones. Edith Gibson Fournier
