Richard M. “Rip” Ripic, 67, of Schnecksville died Jan. 9, 2022, in Lehigh Valley Hospital, Salisbury Township.

Born June 18, 1954, in Schnecksville, he was the son of the late Michael L. and Olga E. (Bailey) Ripic.

He was a self-employed mechanical engineer.

The people who knew him, know he was the most selfless, kindest person on the planet and will be greatly missed.

When asked if he wanted to do anything, his patented response of “Let’s Go!” came before the question was all the way out of one’s mouth.

God Bless and rest in peace brother, you now have the answer to our final prop bet and we all hope your cards are live and your pots are monsters tearing it up on the poker tables up in heaven.

His survivors include fiancée Jennie M. (Hamer) Peifer, with whom he resided; best friend Christopher J. Kinane, Laura Kinane and their son, Charlie of Walnutport.
