AN INVITATION TO CELEBRATE THE LIFE OF
DR. CHARLES VAN RIPER III

May 31st, 2025   2:00 p.m. Meet and Greet;  3:00 p.m. Zoom Presentation
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel – Tucson-Reid Park
445 South Alvernon Way, Tucson, AZ 85711 

Hi Everyone!

Here is a reminder and update about the memorial that we are having for Charles.  We are really looking forward to seeing old friends and acquaintances.    I am so sorry that the Guest of Honor (Charlie) will not be there, but his spirit will certainly be part of the day.   If you have not already done so, please RSVP right away.

 

We will be gathering at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel – Tucson-Reid Park located at 445 South Alvernon Way, Tucson, AZ 85711 on Saturday, May 31st.  There will be an informal meet and greet Happy Hour with Refreshments and an Open Bar starting around 2:00 pm MST where you can mingle and share memories and make new friends.  This will be followed by a formal program at 3:00 and then dinner.  I’ve listed a more detailed schedule below.  In his honor, we welcome folks to “dress like Charles”: wear a Hawaiian shirt, throw on those cowboy boots, dig up a cowboy hat or ballcap, or even slip into something a little raggedy or well-worn but comfortable – he would have appreciated that.
