Tragic fire takes Liz and the family home is lost

Early Friday January 26 2024 our dearest friend Elizabeth Aman-Riepe lost her life when a fire broke out in her home, her husband Richard A. Riepe survived the fire and was released from hospital following treatment for smoke inhalation. Richard has lost everything; his home, his wife, and all his belongings and cherished memories.

Both Richard and Liz gave everything to their community, their church where Richard preached, and to Masonic, Civil, and Fraternal organizations they were a part of. When tragedy struck or anyone needed help, Richard was always there to help. He now needs our help, care, love and support.

If you can find it in your heart to give monetarily to the kindest of men, Richard Riepe, to help him get back on his feet - any and all donations are gratefully accepted.

But by the grace of God, it could’ve been any of us. Please donate any help to Richard who has helped so many of us.

Donald MacCormick, on behalf of the Grand York Rite of Missouri
