George John Fipp

I think it was the summer of 1976. Dr. Fipp, I'll never forget had to open up my elbow where he found a piece of crab shell in the joint. I was 13 years old. I still treasure the scar but mostly his memory. What a legacy.

I met Dr. Fipp through my dear friend Trudy Harris and had the priviledge of working with both of them on the newsletter for the Haiti mission trip. His love for the Haitian people and his enthusiasm to attract others to support the needs of these people were truly admirable. It was an honor to meet him and work with him on this project. My thoughts and prayers are with the Fipp family.

I only knew Dr. George Fipp casually for the past 15 years but I count myself very lucky to have had opportunities to be in his company. George had a way of always making you feel happy and good about life. His kindnesses and genuiness alway shone through. He was truly a unique individual and will be deeply missed.
My sincerest sympathies to the Fipp Family.

Dear Mrs. Fipp,
I was so taken aback when Nancy Morrison shared this news with me. It's funny how you can go through life with someone, like Janet, and never fully realize all the great work her father had performed over his lifetime. I remember him as the team Dr. for many of Episcopal's sports while we were cheering. I remember how big and tall he was and his smile. What a blessed life you two have shared together. And how proud he must be of all his girls and their successes in...

George was a wonderful friend and always wore a smile. He was a great mentor and one who gave special meaning to the term physician. He will be sorely missed.

Dr. Fipp did wonderfully successfulsurgery on both of my sons. One of them, Richard, went on his first diving expedition with him . My husband and I have been on diving trips with Dr. Fipp and loved being with such a caring, fun, intelligent person. We are stunned to have lost such a good friend and person so unexpectedly. Our love and prayers go to his family.

To the Fipp family,
My deepest sympathy in the loss of Dr. Fipp. I would like to share my story with you. I met Dr. Fipp when I was 14 years old. He performed surgery to place pins in my hip, and three years later, he removed them. Two years after that, Dr. Fipp signed a wavier for me to join the Navy. I never thought much about my surgery, until about ten years later, when I was taking a physical to re-enlist. The doctor told me, and I quote "you should thank whoever performed that...

To Betty and the Fipp Family:
We were saddened to hear of Dr. Fipp's passing and wish we could have been at the services, but we were out of town and unable to attend. Knowing he is with the Lord gives us peace. He will always be remembered and greatly missed by all who knew him. Your family will be in our thoughts as you go through this difficult time. Our love and prayers...Psalms 91 and 116.
