Not sure what to say?

I was an Ortho Technician while working in the ED at Butterworth 1977-1981. I loved it when he would be on call or see patients in the ED for cast and post surgical visits. I have now worked in the medical field in various capacities since primarily as a nurse with Spectrum. I have yet to meet another physician with his kind and loving manner.

June, I really want to talk to you but can´t find the phone number . I would join whatever you are doing. I just want you to know that I do give 100.00 a month to Franklin Graham Samaritan´s purse. Could you please call me. 203 267 1011. I just want to know. Bob Ribbe and the whole family were such a big part of my life. I also have pictures of you when my parents were in HAWAII. TINA

Condolences and hugs to June, Rob, Sandy and Scott (and the grandkids) from the Johnston family. We have many fond memories of Doc Ribbe at Bear Lake. You will be in our prayers .

June, our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during this difficult time. Steve and Darlene Mills

June and family: What an honor and privilege to visit with Bob! I so enjoyed our conversations and was often reminded of Jesus' faithfulness to us no matter the circumstances. Because of Bob's teaching and service, so many others will praise God! Well done, good and faithful servant! I will always have such fond memories.

Dr Ribbe was my daughter´s Dr when she broke her arm and required surgery and my mother, a nurse at Butterworth, worked with him as well as admired him. Such a kind and empathetic man! I had the pleasure of getting to know him and his German Shepard as a bank customer - he was always up for a good conversation! My sympathies, Kathy B.

June ,Rob, Sandy,& Scott, You are in our thoughts and prayers. I have so many fond memories of times together, especially at Bear lake. I think of him often but every time I clean up what´s left from a chicken dinner. Bob carefully and lovingly made a plate for Bruno from everyone´s leftover bones. I do it now and smile every time and think of Bob. Bike trips, Big Ape, sailing etc. You all gave me an amazing childhood. Brian
