Dear Angie and family,
We are so sorry to hear of Bernie’s passing. He was such a fun and down to earth fellow that will be missed by so many. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

Our sympathy to Angie, family and friends. Birnie had many friends and acquaintances in Magic Valley, Texas
where he will be missed. Our sincere sympathy
To the family/friends of Mr Ripplinger....I was blessed to have Mr Ripplinger as a teacher. He was such a kind, humble person; and he led by example. I graduated from Miller in 1989....and remember his gentle, humorous way like it was yesterday. This is the positive impact he had on students. He made the world a better place. May he Rest In Peace; sending prayers and deepest sympathies to you all.
I always remember Uncle Bernie with a smile as he was full of fun and laughs and generosity was part of his DNA. My fondest memories were spending time with him and Aunt Angie in Vernon when he worked at cadet camp. Always coaching, teaching, and helping kids. My deepest sympathies to Aunt Angie, Carrie, and Brent, and their families.

Very sad to hear of Bernie’s passing. Thoughts and prayers to you Angie and family. He was a great coach, mentor and friend. He always said to me “ to thine own self be true”, I have always carried that with me and tried my best. He shaped hundreds if not thousands of lives inside and outside the classroom or gym for the better. He will be truly missed. Thanks Rip, you were one of a kind!

The world has lost a truly great man! The students adored him. His football method of teaching Social Studies really worked. As a colleague you could not have found better. My heart breaks for you. Surrounding you in prayer.
