Not sure what to say?

Richard will be missed by many. Whenever the Ripley family members gathered in Roanoke or in Craig County, Richard was there ~ with a smile, a humorous story, and a lively and graceful dance.

Uncle Richard was far and away the best uncle I ever had. I'm very grateful to have had him in my life. I do wish circumstances allowed me to see him so much more. I will always have very fond, happy, and loving memories of my Uncle Richard.
Andrea (King) Clarke

Richard was a good man with a good heart that left nothing but positive impressions on all he knew. I sincerely hope that Heaven is celebrating today because the Earth mourns over the loss of so good a man. We'll miss you Uncle Richard!

I met Richard when I lived in Roanoke, after I moved away I always saw him at NCA conventions and he always had a hug for me. A dear friend.What a blessing he was to the beauty industry.

A wonderful man of smiles that gave so much to others will be soarly misssed. The world was richer to have had him in it and his memory will carry on in the hearts of many! With Sympathy,
Fran Morgan

We were so sad last evening to hear of Uncle Richard's passing. He had such a love of life and embraced everything he did with gusto! Our sincere condolences are with all of the Family and we know that he now rests in peace.

Richard was a wonderful example to us all. He lived his life to the fullest with a smile on his face and helping others along the way. He will truly be missed by everyone working in the Grandin Road area.
