Roman Fredrick Ripp

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Gunderson Funeral Home - Cross Plains

On behalf of the Badger Honor Flight Board and all our volunteers, we extend our deepest condolences to you all, the family of Roman Ripp. We are forever grateful for his service to our great country. What an honor it was for us to take him on his well-deserved trip of a lifetime. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I will remember fondly the deer hunting trips with Romey to Rosholt and of course around Cross Plains. One time when I missed a buck, Romey put his hand on my shoulder said, 'Aim small you will miss small'. He was the only last surviving member of our original deer hunting gang other than me. I am sure he is in Heaven now with Tom Esser, Bob Albertus, Greg Esser, and Joe Maier checking out deer hunting areas. Seems like yesterday we all were together hunting. As Roy Rogers sang, Happy Trails to you until we meet again. Peace my friend.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Romie was such a kind man and so friendly to everyone. He was so interesting to talk to and had so many stories. I thought i would attach a few pictures of him. God bless you all. Thank you for trusting us to take care of him here at Milestone.

Treasure all the memories and he will live in your heart forever.
