Following a long illness bravely fought, Edward Kipp passed away at 2:19 am Saturday 10 April after an evening spent with his wife and two daughters. Edward Kipp was born 16 April 1943 In Burford Township, Brant County, Ontario. He was one of the two sons of his parents Lorne Kipp (born in Gobles, Ontario) and Phyllis Link (born in Carievale, Saskatchewan). His brother Allan and sister in law June predeceased him. He attended public school in Princeton, Ontario and high school in Paris, Ontario. He then attended the University of Western Ontario where he studied Chemistry and received his HBSc and PhD in Inorganic Chemistry. He worked as a Research Scientist for two years in Environmental Chemical Engineering. He returned to the University of Western Ontario to do his MLS. He then worked at the National Research Council of Canada for nearly thirty years as a Research Information Specialist. He is survived by his wife Elizabeth, daughters Margaret and Kathryn, son in law Rick, grandsons Felix and Thomas and his many nieces and nephews, great nieces and great nephews. During his seventeen years of retirement (and before) he was very involved with the Ottawa Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society, co-led Historical Bus Trips into the United States and with his wife toured parts of the United States and Europe. In 2012 he received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for his lifelong volunteerism. In lieu of flowers donations to the Ontario Genealogical Society would be very much appreciated. May God bless you and keep you dear Edward, may God’s Countenance shine upon you and give you peace.

Fond memories of working with Ed in the 70’s and 80’s when he first joined CISTI. He was a dependable, knowledgeable, and pleasant person who daily contributed to an enjoyable working environment.
My condolences to the family on your loss.

I will miss Ed. I always appreciated his wise counsel and his quiet sense of humour. I was in awe of his many accomplishments! On behalf of Ottawa Branch, as well as myself, I want to offer my sincerest sympathies to Elizabeth and family. I hope your many memories will give you comfort.

My very belated sympathies on here to Elizabeth and family. I’m a second cousin through Edward’s maternal Link side and came from the same area as he did at about 3 miles north of Princeton. We attended Paris High School at the same time. We didn’t reconnect until his mother’s passing and then again years later when I was looking into my father’s maternal family tree. Up until then I hadn’t realized the scope of Edward’s vast knowledge of his family and findings. I am grateful for the eventual visits spent with he and Elizabeth and another Link cousin - the late Marilyn Miller - in the Brant and Oxford County areas. My appreciation to both Edward and Elizabeth for their dedication to their genealogical roots. You are deeply missed by so many, Edward. R.I.P. Cousin Janie
