George B. Pippin
George B. Pippin, 67, of Stafford Springs, CT, passed away on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. He was born in Landstugl, Germany, son of the late George, Jr. and Marjorie (O'Brien) Pippin. George worked for the State of Connecticut Department of Transportation for many years.
George was an avid reader of everything- motorcycles, cars and current events. Volkswagens were a particular favorite. Triumph and BMW were among his favorite brands for his 2-wheel obsession. He enjoyed planning motorcycle trips and always led his friends on new adventures and rural mountain roads, deeply appreciating the simple things life had to offer. Many great memories were created at Americade in Lake George, NY. George was amazing at engaging people in conversation and had the gift of bringing people together. He valued people and the gift of time, which he gave freely, often visiting the homebound.
He took immense pleasure in sharing his love of hockey with his nieces and nephews by taking them to Hartford Whaler Hockey Games as well as the Springfield teams. He later became a fan of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Additionally, he enjoyed going to auto races locally and following the Modified Racing Series. He loved the outdoors and camping in everything from tents to travel trailers.
George was most content spending time in Daytona Beach, FL, listening to live music by the water and attending Bike Week. He treasured the time he spent with his brother-in-law, Tim. George loved animals, especially Sandy, his special pup. He enjoyed the company of friends met through the animal rescue and enjoyed when the group gathered to exercise their dogs.
