Vincent Ripoli

My favorite memory is when me and lil man were going to our annual paddle fish trip and half way through the drive the 4 wheeler fell of the trailer and me and uncle came running up the highway in the dark and had to get it over the fence I didn’t even have shoes at the time and somehow we got it over and back on the trailer he some how Vinny rigged it back together and back on the trailer I remember after he told me I can’t believe you just ran with me chooch and I said of course I did uncle he always told that story to other people and was so proud of me ❤️

Vince spent time at my house when he & my Daughter, Wendy were in Middle School. Always he was a sweetheart, respectful, kind, good to my girl, & a pleasure to have around. Rest in peace sweet boy! You’re gonna be missed!

"Vincent Ripoli" will remain in our hearts forever. Rest in Peace Nephew. Love, Ina and Uncle Dan

Please accept our deepest condolences during this difficult time. Ollie is always welcome in our home, and we are keeping you all in our prayers.

Vinny was my best friend since we were thirteen. I have more stories about him and I than I can count. We had our good times and bad times. We lived in Alaska together, Montana together and in Nevada we grew up together. I will forever miss him. I feel like a part of me has died with him but I know he is still around in spirit and in my heart. Here's a little story for you all. It was Morgan Dickenson (Mo), Vince of-course Bella and myself headed out to go camping by china springs NV. We took separate cars so we had to meet up. MO was already at the campsite mid-day and we were on our way. We had to drive through a river to get there and in the river guess what? We broke down....so we had a case of beer and decided to say "well let's drink a few and head on out to find MO. So of course we got a little to drunk and tried to find out what was wrong as we were in the water looking underneath the truck freekin cv joint broke so we started walking. We walked for about two hours and it was dark so scanning the groups of trees we saw a solitary fire. We knew it was MO. We were still about a mile away wet, tired and drunk. When we got there we scared MO and got some chow. I put my wet shoes and pants next to the fire to dry out and we proceeded to sleep in the back of Mo's truck. Side note: lol....Bella kept laying on me and finally I was like Bella get off and Vince uttered " it's me" lol. We were cold alright. So in the morning I went to get my pants and shoes back on and ha ha you guessed it. Burnt to a crisp. No pants and no shoes we left knowing we had to come back and fix the truck under water and to show up home with no shoes and no pants and explain it. You can just imagine..."how could you lose your pants and shoes" anyways we got back to the truck about four hours later and took us four hours to put that damn cv joint in. Just a little taste of how our life was.

Your laughter will forever be heard in our hearts and in our halls, from your friends at the DoubleTree.
