So very sorry to read of Frank's passing. As children we spent a lot of time with Aunt Edith and Uncle Frank with their children. Frank's picture is the living image of my dad, Peter Thomas Lipps. I just can't stop looking at it. This is a sad situation where a family like ours was sadly displaced from an important time in our life. I know you had a wonderful life Beverly with Frank and your children. I feel sure that it was Frank that stopped in my office in Algiers at the Navy Legal Service Office. I retired from there after 32 years. I believe Frank was a Master Sergeant in the Army, retired. I always wanted to look you guys up but failed to do so. I live in Metairie and you can reach me at 504-454-6609. The very best to you and yours. Jean Lipps Burke

Frank was a very special person and will be remembered by many. My deepest condolences go out to the entire Lipps family. I worked with Frank at DuPont in LaPlace/Reserve for 34 plus years and have very fond and sometimes mischievous memories of times on shift as well as days throughout our careers together at DuPont. Frank was very friendly, thoughtful, and caring of others. God bless you Frank.
