Daymon and Lewis,
I have known your family for literally as long as I can remember, growing up in the Dodson Avenue church. I have many fond memories of your father, he was certainly one of a kind. If we all could be as blessed to have had as great an attitude and live life as fully as he.

Uncle William will be remembered and missed for his kindness and his love of family. May he rest in peace as he is reunited with Aunt Geraldine and Dennis...

Daymon, Lewis we are so happy we had the privelage of knowing your mom and dad. They were both wonderful christian people who left great christian examples.
I remember way back to Dotson Ave Church of Christ, Pigg/Nipp garage, and being in your home - meals planned and prepared by your mom. Bill was my one of my dad's best friends.
Ralph remembers serving with him as Elder at greenwood church of christ. He was always consistant in his belief of the New Testament teachings. I loved him as a child, and we loved him as an adult. We missed seeing him at church the last time we were in Greenwood.
He has already been missed. Our prayers are with you.

William Nipp was a fine man, loved by many and respected by all who knew him. My greatest memories is the fun we had while playing domino's with William during his visits to Texas at his Brother's (Eldon Nipp) home and the many childhood memories they shared as we played. You will be missed by all.
Family, take comfort in knowing that you now have a special guardian angel in Heaven to watch over you.
God Bless You!
