Lips lived his 100 years to the fullest.

He served in the Air Force in World War Il, was an ironworker on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and started a foundry with 2 partners.

He was an avid boater, cruising, fishing, and winning navigation contests on his boat the Dondi.

After selling his business, he biked the US, Canada, Italy, Iceland, the Netherlands, and France. He also played softball, volleyball, tennis, and pickle ball until late in life.

After moving to Mercy Ridge, he organized pool and pinochle games, and helped keep local restaurants in business.

He achieved his goal of wearing out, not rusting out.

A celebration of life with family and friends will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer's Association .
