Leonard Lane

I met Rip ice skating at the polar Palace in Los Angeles when we were about 12. Luckily Rip tranferred to our high school, Dorsey, and we were always good friends. We shared humorous and topical emails over the last 15 years. Yes he was proud of his daughter Ashlee. So glad they were together. He will be missed.

It was a special day when I met Rip at the Winery may decades ago. There aren't a lot of us named Rip. For years Rip was a morning fixture at the Sports Mall and his wit and sense of humor has and will be missed.

Rip was a fellow that would stop by and talk with my family often. I loved seeing Tazhi. Rip came over once to watch the kids decorate there bikes for the 4th of July parade. He enjoyed a glass of white wine and watched the kids with a smile. I will miss talking to him. He was a wonderful guy!

I knew your father from the Sports Mall group. He will be missed

Ashlee, I am so sorry for loss. I was his nurse at his urology office. I am so saddened to hear of his passing. I was one of the ones that he shared so much with me about you. He would get so excited to go see you or for you to come see him. He always brought me a little baggy of chocolates every month when he came in. I am so thankful he was a small part of my life and in my career. It's people like him that make this world a better place.
