Sorry to hear of Hugh's passing, which I learned of here. Always enjoyed his calling at Haddenham Ceilidhs and elsewhere.

Oh, I’m very sorry to hear this.
I will let Dad know. We were very fond of Hugh, such a nice man.

Not just Hammersmith Morris but Herga Morris too - Hugh was their first foreman - and Earlsdon, once he moved from London to the Midlands.

I well remember Hugh Rippon from my time living in London. His passing is a sad loss. My condolences to all who know and love him. He has earned his place in the Mudcat "In Memoriam" thread. (I'm sure they have dances and Morris sides in heaven.)

If not, Hugh will be starting one now!

As a dance band musician, I worked with him a handful of times, years ago. Always an enjoyable experience.

Barry Moule (Earls of Essex Morris)
Hugh Was a great dancer and caller, he certainly taught me the joy of Morris. I speak for the Earls of Essex, Hugh was a great teacher who gave us time away from our good friends in Hammersmith Morris to make us into a team. R.I.P. Hugh and carry on dancing in the clouds.
