Edward Conrad Ripoll, Jr., known as Bud Rip (July 14, 1924 – September 17, 2006), was the owner of the popular Bud Rip's Bar in New Orleans, Louisiana, who served from 1984 to 1988 as a Republican member of the Louisiana House of Representatives for District 103 in Orleans and St. Bernard parishes. His service paralleled the third of the four nonconsecutive terms of Democratic Governor Edwin Edwards.
Ripoll was one of five children of the late Edward Ripoll, Sr., and the former Mary Forster. He graduated from the former Francis T. Nicholls High School at 3820 Saint Claude Avenue in New Orleans, since renamed for the African-American abolitionist Frederick Douglass and now a charter school, KIPP Renaissance High School. He joined the United States Marine Corp with service in World War II from 1944 to 1945. He was affiliated with the American Legion and was an honorary member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Thereafter, he was a longshoreman and steelworker and was employed until 1960 at Huerstel's Bar and Restaurant at the intersection of St. Claude Avenue and Independence Street, since a convenience store. Ripoll then opened his own bar at 900 Piety Street at the intersection with Burgundy Street.
