He is survived by his son, Lloyd Albert Lipkey and his wife, Izabel; his daughter, Vivian Lipkey Abel and her husband, Anthony; as well as three grandchildren, Bella Lipkey, Tony Abel and Christine Abel.

Lloyd served our country during WWII, and achieved the rank of Captain in the Army Air Corps by the time of his discharge. He continued in Civil Service, working in Washington D.C. with the General Accounting Office and then at the Federal Maritime Commission until his retirement. He and Vivian built their home in Maryland, and were faithful members of Whitehall Baptist Church in Accokeek. After retirement they enjoyed many winters in Florida. At the time of his death, Lloyd resided in Powhatan, Va., with his son and family and his daughter and family right next door.

Lloyd enjoyed serving his church, wherever it may be. In maryland, it was Whitehall Baptist Church, where he served in many capacities. Once he settled down in Powhatan, he enjoyed the minister and congregation at Fine Creek Baptist Church. Most of all, he enjoyed being with his family and fishing. He enjoyed fishing in Maryland with Ed Taylor and A.B. Whiteman. In Powhatan, he fished on the pond behind his daughter’s home as often as possible. Grandpa Lipkey taught his grandchildren how to fish, and how to be annoyed with turtles.

He loved hearing stories about police life from his son, and church life and work life from his daughter. He always had suggestions on both.
