Thinking of Ray today… my wife and I got saved in a revival at Pleasureville  church that Ray held. The meeting went on for about 33 nights. 

Ray was a great humble man of God…

By the grace of God, I will see him again one day .

Our Thoughts & Prayers are with you and your Family... Estel Redden & Family

Family and friends of Ray - My good fortune of working with Ray at Browning ran from 1948 until I left in 1971. After that, I would often see him; he always greeted me with a huge and extremely warm smile, and kind words.

I am fortunate to have had Ray Ripato as a good friend. His spirit and his family will be in my prayers.  Lou Browning

My deepest sympathy to the family. I worked with Ray and Patty at Browning years ago. Ray gave me a ride on many a snowy morning from the Orangeburg community. He was always very kind to me. My prayers are with all the family.

My deepest sympathies to all.  He is now in the care of the Lord he loved so much.  Those of us who attended Olivet for many years will remember his dedication to the church and God.

Dear Patty, Don, Nathan, Justin and all the Ripato family,
Hugs and love to you.
Praying and cheering for all of you!!
Love, Betty June and Chuck Kauffman

Thoughts and Prayers to the family and freinds, he is home with the men he taught so many about, God Bless You all

I don't know where to start. Bro. Ray has been a factor and has influenced my life since I was a five year old child. He told me about Jesus and he told me about the love of God. He made me want Jesus in my life. If I prayed at the altar, he was attentive. He didn't pass me off for someone else just because I was a child. I have known the entire family over the years and they always have a kind and friendly word. Tony and I are very sorry for the loss of this man to the Ripato family. Our prayers are with the Ripato family at this time.

So sorry for your loss we are thinking and praying for your dear Family. 
Danny and Mary Lynn Vice
