GARY TIPPMANN

GARY HELMUT TIPPMANN With heavy hearts, we announce the sudden passing of our beloved father on January 31, 2012. He was predeceased by his mother (Maria), father (Helmut) and sister (Rita). Remaining to forever cherish his memory are his sons Ryan and Cory, sister Brigitte (Ken), brother Hart and numerous nieces and nephews. Dad was born on May 17, 1963 and lived all of his life in Winnipeg. During his years of employment, he made many friends while working at Coca-Cola, Manitoba Hydro, Linnet, and most recently Unicity Wal Mart. Dad's life revolved solely around his sons. He spent many hours up in the stands watching them play soccer. He also had a great love for hunting and golfing. He will be sorely missed but never forgotten in our hearts. Cremation has taken place, and a family service will be held on Monday, February 27, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. at Army Navy Unit No.1, 300-1395 Ellice Ave.

  • Gary was a customer at the Archery Lanes for many years. He was one of my favourites as he was always happy, had a big smile for everyone and was always so polite. I haven't seen him since 1992, but he has come into my thoughts over the years and they were always pleasant thoughts. Truly a loss for his family. My sincerest condolences.
