I am sorry to report that our good friend Mike Rippey passed away on Jan. 21st after a long battle with cancer. Mike was a good competitor that truly enjoyed the sport and the people in it. Mike shot IBS VFS for a number of years as a member of the infamous snake gang, Jim Wooten(Big Snake) , Wayne Lewis (Little Snake) and Mike was Middle Snake. They were all a good bunch of guys and competitors. Mike will be sorely missed at the matches. Please keep Mike's family and friends in your prayers during this time of loss. If you would like to pay your respects there is an online obituary at fox and weeks funeral home in Savanah Ga. where you can post your condolences. We are diminished. Steve
