My sincere and deepest sympathy to RIP’s wife Janet, son Ray and the rest of his loving family. My prayer is that God will wrap his love around each of you at this most difficult time. RIP was a very funny and warm hearted human being. He would always welcome me in his home and would do anything for anyone. He loved telling old stories and was a very interesting person.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are here for you anytime you need us. Just CALL!

While I never met “Rip” I have heard many accounts of his life from Keith. To make an impression so profound and lasting requires one to be above average, bigger than life. Knowing that he was of fine character and impressive is a great loss for his loved ones and the world he touched. His legacy though will live on in the hearts of all who knew him and a few of those will continue to share them with me. Thus great men live on forever. Take heart in that while your sorrow passes to fond memory.
Janet and Ginny, Delcia, Darlene and family:
It has been many years since you welcomed me into your Newport home along with your niece Darlene but I will never forget your kindness and friendship. A sense of family was sincerely felt by all who entered into the Levenworth home. May your memories of happier times help you thru this difficult time and share those memories together to help each other to get thru this time till you are all together again. God Bless.
Janet sorry for your loss. You are in thought and prayers. Im here if you need me.
Love you
Cindy
You all are in my thoughts and prayers..
You are in our thoughts and prayers I remember coming over there as a boy with my dad
Cindy, Ginny, Linda & Family
