KIPPING, Thomas Morton - Peacefully passed away on Saturday, November 25, 2023 at Oak Ridges Hospice at the age of 93.
Our Dad was born Thomas Morton Kipping, in a family of five boys in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia.
His parents were hard-working people who had come from Newfoundland to work in the coal mines. Out of 13 applicants, Dad was the only RCMP recruit from his high school who made it to basic training.
After working in many communities throughout New Brunswick, he married Irene Jacquard and the road trip was on! Nova Scotia, British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec and Ontario.
Dad worked in the insurance business and created Merit Insurance Brokers with his partners. Dad and Mom loved traveling and cruises.
He loved the Blue Jays and Toronto Maple Leafs, but mostly he loved his large family of five children, Conrad, Brian (deceased), Karen, Kevin and Melissa, spouses and their seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Oak Ridges Hospice or The R.S. McLaughlin Cancer Center would be appreciated, or please do something kind in his memory.
The Celebration of Life will take place at 2:00 pm on Saturday, December 2nd at Kingsview United Church, 505 Adelaide Ave E. Oshawa L1G 2A4.
The Kipping family thanks you for the gift of your friendship and your support in attending. Following the service, you are invited to a reception.
