So sorry to hear this news about Mike's death.  We will miss Mike's faithful presence to his family, friends, colleagues, and the larger world as well as his wonderful contribution to keeping us connected via The Directory.  We celebrate the gift of Michael's life--he journeyed on in Word and deed.

I am so sad to hear this news. I always enjoyed the little notes we exchanged around ordering our annual Directory. He was so generous with his time and talent as he helped keep so many of us connected through the Order/Movement Directory. The times we spent working together in the past were often filled withstories about teaching and managing a school.  He exuded a joy of living and a constant sense of caring for others. I was blessed for having known him. He will be missed.  - Ann Ensinger Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Mon, Jul 15, 2024 at 7:00 PM, Paula Philbrook via OE<oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote: Micheal’s Daughter,Brooke  posted this on Facebook FYI- On Sunday, July 14 , Michael Tippett made his final curt ain call.

Paula, I'm sorry to hear this. He was so faithful. I wonder who will continue the Directory now. SUSAN Susan Fertig-Dykes And the Lord shall guide thee continually and satisfy thy soul in drought.

My heart is broken to learn that Mike Tippett has passed from us. Joe and I met him for the first time at the consult in Bananeiras, where he was an amazing presence — ever the leader in whatever situation required. Later on he and Judith stepped up to lead programs for McDonald’s store manager TMAs (Total Market Approach) using the Lens methods. And then Mike took on keeping us connected, through the Directory. Mike was a quintessential “teacher”, and lent all those skills wherever he stood and worked. His abounding, authentic love and care for every person he encountered was profoundly evident — especially as he wanted to make corrections to each of our addresses and e-mails ever after…. We will love you ever, thereafter, Mike…… Mari (and Joe) Crocker
