Paul  E. Phipps

Paul  E. Phipps,  61, of  Mt.  Victory,  formerly  of the Somersville area, died  peacefully Wednesday, March 28, 2007, at Heartland of Marion, following a long battle with kidney dialysis.  He  married the former Angela Davis, and together they ran Paul's Pizza in Somersville for many years.  He was  one of the first people in the area to have a snowmo- bile and later started selling them, getting the trend started in the area for much winter fun. Along with his wife, he was an avid snowmobile drag  racing fan. The two also did  their share of winning.  One of  Mr. Phipps' passions was girls Softball. He coached girls summer league Softball in the North Union League for 15 years and  was president for three years. During this time he was instrumental in helping build the new concession  stand, new dugouts and installing lights for night time play. Also a second diamond was realized. All these things were done so more girls could utilize the fields  and play Softball in the summer.  After  stepping down  from coaching, he started working with woodcrafts and along with  his wife did  craft shows every fall until his health would not allow.  He served York Township as clerk for four years.  He was a man of many talents, enjoying trap shooting and just being around his family and friends  He was born Jan. 7, 1946, to the late Albert and Helen Miller Phipps.  Surviving are  his  loving wife  of 30 years, Angela Davis Phipps of Mt. Victory; daughters, Lisa (John) McGuire of Grove City, and Stephanie Massie of Marysville; grandchildren, Robby Barclay  of Grove City, and Raven Wendling of Marysville; his mother-in-law, Virginia Davis of Richwood; brothers- and sis- ters-in-law, Randall (Diana) Davis, Steve  Davis, Bruce (Mar- sha) Davis and  Keith (Linda) Davis, all  of the Richwood area and all their children; loving aunt, Helen Phipps of near  York Center; dearest friend who would help out anytime day or night, Steve Goodwin of York Center; and many friends and relatives.  Funeral  services will be held Friday at 7 p.m. at Stofcheck Funeral  Home, Richwood, where friends may call from 5  p.m. until the time of service.
