I remember Tippy well. I worked with him at Kemper Pontiac, then he opened the Amoca gas station on Rt 22. I also remember a 1966 GTO he had.. He was one of the "Good Guys".. RIP Tippy

I knew Tippy for well over 30 or so years and also did business with him. As Dixie Dude notes Tippy was one of the "Good Guys" out there. He will be sorely missed by many.
