George A. "Gary" Ripsom, Jr., a resident of Tooele, UT and formerly of Chelmsford, passed away at his parent’s home, January 13, 2018, two weeks after his 54th birthday. He succumbed after a lengthy battle with a virulent bacterial infection.
He was the dear son of George Sr. and Elizabeth (Postupack) Ripsom, brother of Margaret Bleau and husband Arthur of Plymouth; Lissa Ann Ripsom of Ruther Glen, VA; and Cheryl Massey and husband David of Tooele, UT. He was beloved uncle of Jason Dublin, Taylor Harris, and Hunter Ripsom-Gardiner.
He graduated from Chelmsford High School, class of 1981, where he developed his life-long interest in music, most recently playing bass in the band, “Shades of Blue”. First employed with Raytheon Company in Lowell, he later worked in the pizza business in Washington, DC, Kentucky, and in Lowell with Fio’s, Suppa’s, and Domino’s.
