Vincent S. Pipia

I went to High School with Vince at Notre Dame HS in Harper Woods MI.... Class of '72. He helped work on our class reunions in the past and was always the nicest guy and well liked. You will be truly missed by all of Notre Dame HS Alumni. My deepest condolences and prayers go out to the Pipia Family !!

Vince was a real sweetheart. He was a tough soft-hearted man, who is going to be missed by young and old.

We met you 30 years ago and we cherish the memories of hot rods, neighborhood picnics, car shows, and sharing good stories. Thank you for bringing us the gorgeous 94 Red Converible Corvette to our hotrod barn! We are sad. We offer our thoughts and prayers to keep Yvonne, Nick, and Vince safe.

Oh, the memories. From working back in the early 80's with Vince, to home projects, to organizing the baseball games after work as well as the Stroh Haus parties, we had many good times. Vince will be missed by all those that knew him. Not only was he a good man, he was my pal. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this difficult time. Rest in peace Big 'V'.

Mike --- Vince was the "little brother" of the neighborhood until one day he wasn't a little guy any more. We're out of town and can hardly bear to watch the memorial video because it is so emotional for us. How is it possible that Vince is the first one of "Mr. Ford's Ragtag gang of Bonita Bums" we've lost? We are so very sorry. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

My heartfelt condolences to Vince's family and friends. I will always remember him as a big guy with a big heart. His presence at LCHSN made us all feel safe and secure so we could focus on teaching and learning. Many students benefited under his guidance, and his gregarious laugh, hearty smile, and pats on the back made us all feel like a part of something good. Rest in peace dear friend. You will be truly missed.

Condolences to the family of Vince Pipia. Vince was a co worker and friend at MCSD. A great guy who I admired and had great respect for. Thinking back to the good times at work and the parties he organized at the Stroh Haus in Detroit. Vince will be missed. RIP Gary Groesbeck

My sincere condolences to the Pipia family. Vince was a wonderful, caring man who helped so many kids. Working with him at LCN was a pleasure, to say the least. I can still see him smiling and hear his laughter. Rest in peace, my friend.
