Anyone who would like to pay their respects can either meet us at Riplinger Funeral Home at 9:00 on Thursday or meet us at the Reservation boundary and help escort him home to Wellpinit. There will be a private graveside service at the Wellpinit Presbyterian Cemetery on Thursday, April 16th at 10:00 am. We are sorry that we will not be able to have a public funeral, but we plan to have a Celebration of Life Dinner for him when it is safe to do so. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his name to the American Indian Community Center or Hospice of Spokane.
