The Final Salute
“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Jeff Tom Pipes our Brother-in-Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Jeff. And to Jeff it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during WW-II and the Korean and Vietnam Wars while serving first in the U.S. Army Air Corps and then in the U.S. Air Force. Jeff we bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at Ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 1,355 members of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Jeff’s family and loved ones.

My Sympathy goes out to the survivors of Mr Pipes. I am a nurse at the VA and had taken care of Mr Pipes on numerous visits thru the ER and Urgent Care departments. He was like a Grandfather that I never had. I enjoyed conversations we had and his opinions on matters. I will truly miss his strong voice and warm smiles. May he rest in peace.
