Heartbreaking News Ed, but thx for sharing. Just off the phone with Ray, also.
ALCON:
It is my very sad duty to notify you of the passing of Colonel John W. Ripley USMC (Ret).
Much more to follow, I'm sure, but his passing has been confirmed by several very reliable sources.
Sky-6 has received yet another fine Marine on his staff...a most Heroic Warrior Leader of Marines.
Was just thinking of Rip when eating breakfast at Mary's Kountry Kitchen in Hubert, NC the other day. Rip could eat them out of house and home in one sitting...he loved the chow there when he visited us down here...!
Semper Fidelis,
WVM
