Bruce Ripley and Diane Cowper in Washington, DC, June, 2005.

Sad news. We have received word from Sara Ferguson and Lalla Jones, that Bruce Ripley, husband of Diane Cowper, AIS class of 1976, passed away quietly in his sleep on Sunday, January 13, 2008.

Bruce is described as a truly nice man who always had a sunny outlook and an easy laugh, who was good to people, enjoyed adventure, supported education and learning, who cared deeply about providing service to our veterans and also loved Diane deeply.

Diane has chosen to have a private party to celebrate his life rather than a memorial service.

Anyone who would like to remember Bruce can make donations to the Humane Society, the Veterans Association, the Humane Society in Gainesville, FL or toward cancer research.

The AIS/AES Alumni Association extends it's condolences to Diane and her family.
