Edward Grant Rippie
Ed was a Professor in the School of Pharmacy at the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis), where he taught industrial pharmacy, pharmaceutics, and physical chemistry. He was particularly active in research concerning how active ingredients are incorporated into pills and tablets during manufacture and are then made available in the body. He consulted on those topics with pharmaceutical companies and governmental agencies around the world, and invented patented research equipment to study these questions. As a result of his work, he received the Ebert Prize from the American Pharmaceutical Association. Established in 1873, the Ebert Prize is the oldest pharmacy award in existence in the United States and is given annually to the best investigation of medicinal substance published in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences.
After retiring in 1997, Edward and Dorothy moved full time to Hazelhurst, where he pursued passions ranging from woodworking to hunting in our Northwoods. He resided here for remainder of his life.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. on March 29, at Bolger Cremation & Funeral Services - Woodruff Chapel, 1212 First Avenue, Woodruff, who is serving the family. A second service will be held later in the spring in Rockton, Ill. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
