Dear Marsha:

God bless you and Rip for everything you have done for the LGBT community and for New Orleans. I know that Rip will continue doing his good work in heaven and that his strength will enable you to carry on. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and the many happy memories that we shared over the years.

Remembering you from our 1971 senior class, Berwick High School, Berwick, LA Rest in Peace.

All the fun times at Nicholls in Student Publications will always be remembered. Rip definitely made his mark on the world in a professional and caring manner.

A. Truly memorable person is gone and New Orleans will not be the Same, I felt privileged to be a friend and to have only slightly shared your zest for life and your caring and generous concern for so many others. My thoughts are with Marty, I know your loss must seem unbearable at this time and I wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you. David Chrobak, Northport, Michigan and Sarasota, Florida.

My heart is saddened with this loss of a truly wonderful person.
