We remember Al from back in the 1960s -- church league softball at First Methodist -- all the way up to MHS football games just a year or two ago...he was an integral part of Bradenton for all those years and we appreciate all Al did for his community, family and friends. Now he is basking in the light of eternity, awaiting a new assignment! Sending our love and prayers....

I'm so sorry to read of Mr. Kipp's passing. I called on him for many years at his real estate office. He was a pleasure to know - an real gentleman with a kind word for all. I last saw him many years ago at an All-Star baseball game where his grandson was playing. A lot of "stars" were at that field that day-and Mr. Kipp was one of them. He was a real star and will always shine brightly in my memory.

Lisa & Family,
Al was an amazing man who mentored so many and gave freely of his wisdom and time to others. He was one of the 'good guys' and those who knew and worked with him were truly blessed.

Dear Bea and family. As you know, Bea, Mr. Kipp found us our first house. He was a wonderful, kind, and fun man. He loved his family very much. I'm sorry we have lost touch over the years, but I think of Mr. Kipp and Bea every time I pass the real estate office where he worked. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Joe and Susan Miller
