Guy F. Lipscomb Jr.

I met Guy about 30 years ago. He taught a watercolor class at the museum of York County. Over the years in the SC watercolor society we all had so much fun, made the best of friends and learned so much, from Guy. It was a my pleasure to know such a fine and giving man. God Bless all of his family and friends who will miss him greatly.

Dear Lipscomb ladies & all family - The outstanding memorial for Guy was an inspirational gift to us friends and admirers. As several quipped, "What a Guy!" And thx for those terrific, crowning family presentations by Elizabeth, Libba, Shelvis, Tom - and Charlie's fun tour de force. With all the fine Scriptures, I kept waiting for someone to read Psa. 1.1-3, perfect. It all generated strong, moving memories of Guy, and dear Margaret, his loving and enduring lady love.

It was an honor and a pleasure to come to know your father through numerous venues in the not for profit community in Columbia. The Art Musuem, Junior Achievement, United Way and Palmetto Health Foundation among many bare his fingerprints. He was a wise, generous and humble person. I felt in each contact I learned from him and was emboldened in the work I was doing by his endorsement. He certainly made Columbia and South Carolina a better place because he passed this way.

Never met him, but a print of his work "The Ashley River from Magnolia Gardens" hangs over my desk as I write this. My condolences to his family.

Lou ,Marshall, Georgia, and Libba...I am so saddened to hear of the passing of your dad. What wonderful memories I have of both of your parents. I think I spent more of my junior high and high school years on West Buchanan than on Kathwood! Your dad was such a humble man. it really wasn't until we got to Winthrop, Lou, that I realized what a famous artist he was!
My heart goes out to all of you.
You are in my prayers.
Love, Pam Whitaker Dhamer

I will always remember him as a warm gentleman. Guy gave back so much to the community including his contributions to the Indian Waters Council, Boy Scouts of America, through the Lipscomb Foundation. He was truly a wonderful man.

Even though I did not know your father; I did. My sweet daughter Teresa provided care to both Mrs. and Mr. Lipscomb, and she spoke of them both as if they were family members. May you find solace in knowing that he was truly "cared for" and that his life will continue through you.

The art world and our community will always remember and appreciate Guy's support and generosity. With his driven ambition to expose, build and support art in our community, he has enabled many organizations, museums, societys, schools, workshops and indivuals to grow, expand and carry on his legacy. A true southern gentleman, who continued to work and inspire all, to the very end of his life. His smile and example will out live us all. As Guy often told me "Life Is Fragile", make the most of...

Georgia, I was so sorry to read of your father's death. He was such a wonderful man. I still have his water color he gave me for a wedding present hanging in my house. My son is a friend of Bev Foster and just asked about how she was related. I am assuming Marshall's husband is related to Bev's father, Carl. Funny how things go. Anyway, just wanted to express my sympathy to you and your family for he was a wonderful talented man and will be greatly missed. Sincerely, Betsy Haltiwanger Egan
