Rip ROUSE

Miss you my Brother, could use your strength now

Hi Cheryl...I just heard about Rip. I am so sorry for your and the kids loss. You don't remember me, but I worked with the Team at the Sunrise Mall store from 1980-1986ish. The thing I remember most about Rip is that he genuinely cared about people...old, young, rich or poor...it didn't matter. He showed everyone the same respect. I wasn't a Christian woman back then...but am now. I can clearly see now our Christ who was within him. He always spoke with passion about you and the kids. My...

I just heard about Rip
I once had the pleasure of working with Rip, he was a very caring and funny man, I used to make fun of him and call him Rippen' Rouse or Roaring Rouse and we would laugh. He always had a kind word for me and a quick smile. He would make jokes about me and it was good. He was my friend and I feel blessed by just knowing him. I want to send my deepest sympathies to the family and let you know that he was a good man and where he is now has welcomed him with open arms.

To the family of Rip,

I met Rip when I went into the Rogers store in the Arden Fair mall back in 1980. I was there to purchase an item to remember my grandfather who had recently passed away and who had asked that I buy something special that I would keep as a memory of him. Rip was the person who helped me choose that item. He was friendly and considerate and a pleasure to work with. He made it easy to find something special that I will always treasure not only for the memory...

To Cheryl and family,
Cheryl I'm not sure if you remember me or not but in 1979 or 1980 I worked for De Von's Jewelers at the Florin Mall and that is where I met Rip there we laugh and became good friends. Years have gone by and when I heard the news just a few days ago all I could do is cry. Cheryl I will never forget Rip he was so full of love and laughter.

To the Family of Rip,
Rip and I formed a business friendship that has lasted since I met him in the Sunrise store. Rip always made those, too poor to afford and those that more than could afford, feel just the same when purchasing jewelry from Roger’s stores. Our relationship was business but he always made me feel like a personal friend whenever we met. I observed that he took personal interest in everyone he met and took care. He was a salesman and good person. I was shocked and still...

Cheryl and Family,

Rip was a great man and a wonderful friend. I will miss his sense of humor and great laugh. He made everyone he met feel special in some way. Your journey in life will be difficult for a season, but just think of all the great things Rip would want you to accomplish, Smile and remember all the good times. Our heavenly father has your back.

My prayers go out to the Rouse Family. I had the pleasure of meeting Rip over 20 years ago. Whenever I walked into the store he always had a big smile on his face and you couldn't help it but to just smile along with him. Rip you will be missed but never forgotten.
