Dad. But also best friend, brother and gentleman. Alan was born in California and lived many places in the United States and Canada. He counted Oklahoma, Colorado and Ontario, Canada as some of his homes; all while enjoying many friendships acquired through families, football games and holiday gatherings year ‘round. Always a gentleman, always fun, and always with a twinkle in his eye.
He is survived by his son Michael Matthew Lipp, his daughter April Rose Lipp and his best friend, Mom Elyse.
Dad has a big family! He has 4 brothers: Sterling (Lori), Gary (Kevin), Royce (Naomi) and Prescott with one sister: Alyssa (Tim). Step children: Carole (Craig) Heffernan, John Koppens and Monique Koppens. Step grandchildren: Nicholas and Emily Heffernan, Jessica, Meredith and Andrew Koppens.
We are super lucky to have had Dad in our lives and in our hearts forever—- he knew he was loved just as we know he was loved.
Alan Lipp made a positive difference in so many lives!!! We love you!
We mourn the passing and celebrate the life of our mother and Oma who passed away on Tuesday, May 31st, 2022. Born in Zwolle, Holland, on March 24, 1924, her journey took her to Indonesia before she settled in Canada. Spending her summers on the shores of Georgian Bay gardening, painting and spending time with family, she will be dearly missed by many. Predeceased by her husband, Willem, Riek was a loving mother to Louise McFarlane (Sid), Clare (Claire), Peter (Arlene), Ron and Henry, and beloved Oma to 13 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.
We wish to thank the staff at Wentworth Lodge and the Juravinski Hospital for their care and dedication. A graveside funeral service will be held at Grove Cemetery, in Dundas, at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, June 3rd, 2022, for family and friends.

On Tuesday, May 10th in his 96th year Ted conceded to Queen Elizabeth in the race for longevity and slept his last sleep. Born in Vassar, Hungary Ted fled to Canada in 1956 where he met Win, who, for the next 55 years was his wife, finder of many things, dance and travel partner, voice of reason and of course co-gardener.
Ted’s perseverance, sense of humor and imposing size were passed on to his children Ica (Ferenc), Mike (Jen) and Emma (Mike).
Ted was always proud of his grandchildren and showed his love for Tomas, Gabriella, Matthew, Liliana, Michael and Joshua in many unique ways.
Remembered for his somewhat truthful storytelling (on repeat at times), his unfailing work ethic, his willingness to help family and friends (whether wanted or not), sense of adventure and his love of gardening, he left a lasting impression on most people he encountered.
As per Ted’s wish, cremation has taken place and a ceremony and Celebration of his Life will be held on Saturday, June 4th at 1 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Church, 29 Park St. W. Dundas, Ontario where the event will be live streamed as well. In Lieu of flowers a charitable donation to the St. Paul’s Benevolent Fund or the Alzheimer Society of Canada would be greatly appreciated.
Jack said “goodbye for now” and went to be with his mom. With great sadness we announce the passing of Jack, the beloved son of Ernie and Mary (deceased) Bodden of Dundas. He is survived by siblings Ernie (Deborah), Bob (Lee), Janice Pilkington, Jo-Ann (Steve Peters) and Jim (Jody). Many family members have special memories of their time with Jack and he thanked us with his warm, wonderful smile. His big, beautiful family who loved and cared for him at Rygiel Home will never be forgotten. Their unwavering and constant dedication for 53 years of his life has been remarkable. A private celebration of life is to be held at a later date. If you wish, donations to Rygiel Support and Community Living in Jack’s name would be appreciated.
