{geni:occupation} diamond merchant Rolley & Ripp 608 Fifth Avenue

According to the genealogy prepared by Gerard Ripp: "John A. Ripp, Sr. had little formal education but was a concert violinist in the U.S. Navy during World War I, the orchestra having played a 'command performance' before the Queen of England. He became a messenger for a diamond company in New York City and then taught himself the business of appraising and buying and selling diamond and precious stones, eventually establishing his own buisness (Rolley & Ripp) at 608 Fifth Avenue in New York City."
