[Oe List ...] Completed life of Joe Lippard

[Janice Ulangca]

I just read the remarkable obituary of your father, Lynda.  (See the link below.)   What a giver he was - with his tools and his teaching.  Lucky were the young people he worked with!  Bet he was a delight to know - liveliness seems to flow from his picture.  He sure lived a full life!  Maybe slowing down slightly during his 97th year.  No wonder you and your sister Diane Galbreath and all your families are so great.  I'm awed at hearing all he did - he's sure a role model for me as I try to responsibly create my 77-year-old life.  Much love to you as your family and friends CELEBRATE this amazing life.

  Dear colleagues,  

  Dad completed his amazing journey August 28th.  

   Wisdom from the Order community accompanied us on that journey.  For most of July and August I have been in Virginia helping my sister Diane Galbreath (Guardian, HDP consults and former ICA Board member) to care for our 98-year-old Father in his declining health.  Brother Hal Lippard (summer participate at South House and a Delta Pace Consult participation) was with us on weekends.  We were honored to be part of his care team as a small pay-back for the years of his caring for us. 

  You may have seen his photo in one of John's blog posts http://rejourney.blogspot.com/2012/07/joes-98th-birthday.html in July as he stirred the plum sauce.  And he was so pleased to have been able to celebrate his 98th birthday in July under the spreading walnut trees with four generations of us around him.

  Dad and Mom (she died at 90 eight years ago) were RS-I grads and found practical ways to participate in our work. Mom always brought her apron and Dad brought his toolbox.  They visited Fifth City, our houses in KC and DC, attended  Guardian meetings, and visited Canon Ball HDP on a western car trip.  They also hosted development teams from the Memphis House, and through their church in Tennessee, raised money for our support while we were in Australia, Indonesia, and India. Because of all this, we included the Ecumenical Institute/ Institute of Cultural Affairs in the memorial requests. 

  Thank you for journeying with our extended family,

  Lynda Lippard Cock
