Our sincere condolences to the entire Rippel Family. Roger was a great story teller. We spent many Autumns taking a break from raking our leaves to chat. He told me about the cold winters of Minnesota. How they came to move to this side of town. Or the time they saw Garrison Keillor at The Bushnell. I fully expected him to out live everybody.

Our sincere condolences to the entire Rippel family, our neighbors for over 50 years. Roger was always helpful in solving problems particularly for our cars by giving Manny good advice. That's why our Taurus lasted as long as it did. Our short conversations usually turned into comical footnotes and experiences. How he remembered things from many years past always amazed us. He was a great story teller. We will surely miss him.
God bless all of you.

Our Condolences to the entire Rippel Family. My husband, children and I lived next to Mr. Rippel for 23 years. We enjoyed every minute. He never failed to share a story or life experience. We heard about where he had lived before, his old station wagon, his children, his career, all kinds of things! He always had something to share and took the time to talk! We also shared solutions to problems such as how to keep squirrels out of the engine of his car! The solution was brillo pads and...
