Default Ron Rippey passes

Saddened to hear of the passing of Ron Rippey. He was one of the best Public handicappers who parlayed that skill into being a great contest player.
He went out a winner.

That was a really nice tribute for someone who sounds like he was a stand-up guy. Thanks for posting the link.

He seemed like a very good guy, and an outstanding player. My he RIP. Condolences to his family and friends.

When I won a NHC bankroll builder on July 5th this year, I was thrilled to see that Ron Rippey finished 2nd. I knew I had beat one of the best contest players out there. Less than a month removed from taking down the Wynn Handicapping Contest. I'd love to win half of what he did.

RIP Ron!
