William Edwin Stipp, a loving father and proud grandfather, was born April 25, 1927, in Burnet and was married to his high school sweetheart, Sallie Levingston Stipp, for almost 61 years.

After moving in recent years, he and his wife became devoted members of new Bethel Assembly of God in Arlington.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
