Richard Lippert

Richard “Dick” Lippert, age 79 of Anderson Twp., died October 28, 2019. He was the beloved husband of Kathy M. Lippert (nee Wiethe), devoted father of Jennifer Watson (Bryan Spiess) and Warren Lippert (Linda Strope), loving grandfather of Caleb and Bugatti, caring brother of James (Susan) Lippert and the late Mary Jane Lippert, and dear brother-in-law of Barbara Wiethe, Jayne Zuberbuhler, and the late Michael J. (Nettie) Wiethe. Also survived by many loving nieces and nephews. Dick was a loving and giving man who practiced law for over 54 years. He was extremely competent at everything he undertook and was patient and hardworking sometimes to a fault. He had a wicked sense of humor that frequently took the form of merciless practical jokes often perpetrated with his law partner and beloved brother, Jim. His passions (in no significant order) were his wife, his children, his dogs and his vacation home on Lake Leelanau, Michigan where he was always supremely happy and loved entertaining family and friends. He will be sorely missed. Memorial Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Guardian Angels Church on Saturday, November 2nd at 11 am. Friends may visit at the church on Saturday from 9 to 11 am. Everyone is invited to a luncheon immediately following the Mass and to continue in the celebration of Dick's life at Coldstream Country Club, 400 Asbury Rd.
