John Lipscomb Obituary

John Marshall Lipscomb Died suddenly on December 26, 2010. John was the adored husband of Linda Lipscomb, the beloved father of Stephanie Lipscomb Teterycz, and Jennifer and John Lipscomb, and loving grandfather of Saskia Teterycz. Born on May 26, 1945 in St. Petersburg, Florida, John received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Florida State University. He had also studied abroad in Munich, Germany. After a successful career in banking and foreign exchange trading at Bank of America and other financial institutions, John devoted his time to his hobby of car collecting and to his family. John is also survived by his mother, Helen Buland Lipscomb of St. Petersburg, Florida, and by extended family members also residing in Florida. A memorial for friends and family will be planned for a date in the spring. It is preferred that in lieu of flowers, a contribution be made to the Alameda County Food Bank.

John-
I wanted to call you and thank you for all you had done for me and tell you what a great influence you had been in my life...looked you up and found out it was too late to tell you...I remember fondly the adventures of chasing old cars and the advice that you gave me about life sitting those many late evenings in your garage...every time I buy a soda, I remember you telling me once"waste of money for something that cost 35 cents!!"...words cannot describe how much of an impact you made on my life...what great sadness in not being able to tell you what you did for me as a young man trying to figure life out..The things I learned from you I have shared with others.Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
