He is survived by his wonderful wife, Marian E. Mitchell Phipps and their 15 children, Charles E. and Cathy Phipps of Dothan, Thomas Clifford Phipps of Ozark, Becky and Hayes Godwin of Ozark, Catherine and Luck Dippold of Ozark, Linda and Mark Magnusson of Lakeland, Fla., Deborah and Doug Blackman of Ozark, Diane and Ron Shipley of Rineyville, Ky., Nancy and Joe Darley of Ozark, Tim and Monique Phipps of Ozark, Mary and Mike Bellamy of Guthrie, Okla., Dotty and Charles Jordan of Guthrie, Okla., Dotty and Charles Jordan of Wahoo, Neb., Lori and Ray Mobley of Ozark, John and Candy Phipps of Ozark, Michele and Arnie Schnobrich of Fayetteville, N.C., and Frank and Debbie Phipps of Ozark.

He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in which he served diligently. He was a veteran of World War II in which he served 18 months on the front line.
