Harry Phipps Obituary
HARRY LEON PHIPPS MARCH 4, 1939 - JUNE 8, 2003
The Greatest Man We Ever Knew
Smiling eyes of the ocean's deepest blue, Loving and tender, but could look straight through. Handsome and bold, never crude or cold. Witty and clever, through any endeavor. And that wink with a smile, he gave with such style. Just his subtle way to show he was proud, he didn't have to say too much out loud. Somehow we knew, that little wink was our clue. Oh, what a huge heart, being a REAL MAN he made into an art. Those road trips of gold, what stories could unfold. Loyal and faithful 'til the end, what a reliable, respected friend. On a sunny June day, I heard my uncle say, doubleA child so ornery and mean, grew into the best man I've ever seen.double A husband, a daddy, a papa, you know, to love us all deeply was his to bestow. Though he's been taken... his memory has not been forsaken. As for Marlena and Conner, my sister Nanci and me... If you look closely you will see. In our hearts and in our faces, strong values and familiar traces. If there's one thing on earth where we do agree, proud to say it's Daddy and Papa in me.
In loving memory of my sweet Dad By: Shari Marie Phipps
Daddy, there isn't a day that goes by that we don't miss you or think about you. We will never be able to express how honored and blessed we were that you were in our lives. Your family thanks God everyday that we had someone so special and we can't wait for the day when we see you again in Heaven.
Love you!
Happy Birthday,Daddy & Papa. Love, Nanci, Shari, Marlena and Connor.
