  • I worked with Reg for many years and always enjoyed talking to him and listening to his stories. He always had a word of the wise. He loved discussing weather and cloud formations. Rest in peace Reg. - Posted by: Darlene Tkach (MCI) on: Nov 28, 2017

  • Hello, I just wanted to offer you my condolences. I am so sorry for your loss. I hesitated writing this, but I don’t know how else to write the family. This is the first time that I have ever seen a picture of him. I would have loved to have met him. My dad's name is Jerry Ripley, and he lives in BC and we live in Ontario. They look exactly alike. My brother and sister and I would all love to meet you guys if you are ever in Ontario. Big hugs to all of you xoxo. I hope it is okay for me to write this message. - Posted by: Nicole Ripley () on: Nov 13, 2017

  • Please remember that you are not alone in your grief. Anyone who knew Reg will remember his easy-going demeanor and his smiling face. No matter what the circumstance, he could always find humor in it. There was never a dull moment in our many visits together, Reg would always find something fun to do. As for his bus-driving days He's on the road again,but this time the road is much smoother. Happy Trails to you, Reg. - Posted by: Leslie Tanner (Friends since grade school) on: Oct 28, 2017

  • Dearest Elsie and Family Our hearts ache this week as we remember Reg. I remember so vividly your wedding party at moms in Inkster, MI. There are no words that will make any of this better, however just know that we are sharing your loss. Kathy & Richard Day Naples, FL - Posted by: Kathy & Richard Day (Friends) on: Oct 27, 2017

  • I spent more Christmases, and New Years with the Ripley's than I did with any other extended family members of my own. Reg's sweetness, humour and generous spirit plays a large part in all the happy memories I have of those times. Our family lost more than a friend: we lost one of our own. Much Love and prayers to Elsie, Bethany, Blaine, and the entire family. - Posted by: Linda Guest (Family friends ) on: Oct 27, 2017
