Roy E. Tipton, age 87 of Hillsdale. A lifelong learner, teacher and unabashed idealist, Roy Tipton will be remembered for his steadfast loyalty to his friends, family and country. He was born Aug. 19, 1922, in Madison County Ky., to Roy and Mary Willie (Fielder) Tipton. He began his professional life as a soldier, enlisting in the army in 1939. After a brief, 12-day training period was “turned to duty” as a private in the 10th Infantry. After being stationed at Fort Custer, he was deployed to Iceland in 1941 where, having been promoted to sergeant, he served until he was accepted to Officer Candidate School in December 1942. On April 17, 1942, he graduated from OCS and was commissioned a second lieutenant. This accomplishment was particularly notable since he had not yet completed his high school education. He was eventually assigned to the 351st Infantry Regiment of the 88th Division in May of 1944 and participated in the liberation of Italy from the Nazi invasion. In July of the same year he assumed command of L Company during the battle of Laiatico. After the two other rifle companies of the 3rd Battalion had been rendered incapable of combat by the enemy he led his company in a night attack resulting in the capture of over 200 German soldiers without a single casualty to his men. This action decided the battle and the 3rd Battalion was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for its outstanding performance — the equivalent of every man in the unit receiving the Distinguished Service Cross. Eventually attaining the rank of major, he served in the Korean Military Advisory Group during the Korean War and was commander of Fulda Post, Germany, from January 1957 to August 1958. After a career that spanned 20 years he retired from active military duty on Oct. 31, 1959, at Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind. In 1963 he graduated from Western Michigan University with a masters degree in guidance and counseling. He later settled in Hillsdale, Michigan where he served as high school guidance counselor from 1966 to 1976 and was a well-known fixture in the community for the remainder of his life. An avid barbershop singer and 35-year member of the Barbershop Harmony Society he sang with the Hudson, Coldwater and Jackson chapters before helping to found the Hillsdale chapter. He is survived by Frances (Ford) Tipton, his wife of 43 years; three children: Sharon Tipton of Kalamazoo; David (Ellen) Tipton of Battle Creek; and Matthew (Josie) Tipton of Sterling Heights; Seven granddaughters: Arrow Tipton; Erin Tipton; Emily (Ian) Bobinac; Sara Tipton; Abigail Tipton; Gwendolyn Tipton; and Meredith Tipton; two great-granddaughters and a great-grandson; a brother: Lemuel Ray (Jean) Tipton of Dry Ridge, Ky.; a beloved niece: Jean Ann (Mark) Powell of Walton, Ky.; two grand-nieces: Rachel and Ashlynn Powell. He was preceded in death by a son: Michael Tipton (2009); and a brother: Denville Tipton (1945). Funeral services for Roy Tipton will be at 11 a.m. Monday, Jan. 4, 2010, at the VanHorn-EagleFuneral Home in Hillsdale with Pastor Ned Wyse officiating. Interment with full military honors will take place at Fort Custer National Cemetery in Augusta at 2:30 p.m. Monday. The family will receive friends for visitation Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. at the VanHorn-Eagle Funeral Home. The Hillsdale Town & Country barbershop chorus will pay a musical tribute at 7 p.m. Suggested memorials include Hospice of Hillsdale, the Hillsdale Town and Country Chorus and Harmony Foundation.  To view this obituary and send condolences, visit www.eaglefuneralhomes.com.   |

Philip George King or “Flip” a loving son, brother, uncle, great uncle and friend, was born Feb. 23, 1962, in Sturgis, and passed away in Jan. 1, 2010 in St. Joseph. Philip was the “Michael Jackson” of the family. He was exotic, unpredictable, and humorous with a “twist.” He was also very intelligent, talented and good- natured. Philip grew up in Sturgis. He loved the stage and often joined his parents, George and Phyllis King, in productions with Sturgis Civic Players. As a youngster, Philip, perfected the art of magic and loved to dazzle his friends and family with his magic shows. While his sisters, Paula and Angela, were raising their families in Okemos and Portage, respectively, Philip made a special effort to bond with all of his nephews and nieces. Never losing his own inner child, he had an innate ability to connect and relate to them. He was not just their beloved uncle, he was their friend. Entertaining them and spending time with them was never a “chore” but something he sincerely loved. He will be profoundly missed by his sisters’ children. When Philip reached adulthood, he moved to New York City and later to Chicago. He loved the adventure and romance of “The Big Apple” and the “Windy City.” When he finally got homesick, he moved back to Michigan. His legacy from the big cities was his experience with delicious food. Philip became a master at creating and reproducing exquisite cuisine, which he would plan and prepare to the delight of his family during the holidays. Each year, he would surprise and enchant his family with a culinary adventure we had never experienced before. Philip knew that preparing a sensational dinner was more than cooking food to perfection; it was also about presentation, and he was an absolute artist. Philip had a talent for entertaining his family with subtle and ironic humor. He could see our flaws as well as our strengths and make fun of how seriously we took ourselves. He would tell it like it is and encouraged the rest of us to do so. We loved him for his honesty. Philip was a warrior. He fought difficult battles the likes of which few of us could ever comprehend. Even the most valiant among us can succumb to the ravages of disease but it makes us no less courageous. Philip fought the good fight. He will be in our hearts forever. Philip passed away in the home and loving care of his father, George King. George has been the source of strength and substance in sustaining Philip and our family during this difficult time. He is a man of enormous compassion and spiritual fortitude. Philip is survived by his father and mother, George and Phyllis King; two sisters, Paula Zang and her husband, Paul Zang, and Angela Young and her husband, Russell Young; his nephews and nieces, Nathaniel Moleski, Katie Love and her husband Michael Love, Daniel Moleski, Eric Zang, and Anna Zang; and his grandnephew, Tyler Moleski and grandnieces, Audrey and Delaney Love. A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held at 3 p.m. Friday at Starks & Menchinger Family Funeral Home, 2650 Niles Road, St. Joseph, with Fr. Dan Scheid officiating. Memorials may be made to Hospice at Home.  Those wishing to sign the memory book online may do so at  www.starks-menchinger.com. |

He was born March 23, 1949, in Detroit and was raised in St. Clair Shores. Ray graduated from Lakeview High School in St. Clair Shores. He worked at a toy store, the old Top Hat Pub and Burger King before becoming disabled. Ray was a very kind man, with a loving heart and a bit of a stubborn streak about him. Adored by children, loved and missed by family pets, Jeep and Elle-Mae. Well-known to the 21 Mile and Garfield businesses, pulling his wagon, searching for cans or running small errands for family and neighbors. He enjoyed watching Sponge Bob, game shows and his favorite movie, "Twister," yelling, "We got cows". He was a big fan of the Detroit Tigers. We all miss you, Ray. You will be forever in our hearts as God welcomes you into Heaven. Thanks for the memories, we were lucky to have had you in our lives. Ray is survived by brothers, Kenneth (Barbara), Roland and William; many nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles.
