→Biography
Of [[Ireland|Irish]] extraction, Ripoll was a member of the Downtown Irish Club, which stages [[St. Patrick's Day]] parades. He organized a golf tournament to help with repairs to St. Vincent De Paul Roman Catholic Church in New Orleans and to assist surviving families of police officers killed in the line of duty. He collected funds from New Orleans bars to pay for [[Christmas]] baskets for needy children in the economically-depressed Ninth Ward. Ripoll sold the bar in 1994 and moved with his family to Arabi.<ref name=bio/>
