Richard Haines Lippincott

Richard Haines Lippincott of Moorestown passed away on April 4, 2024 at the age of 76. His late parents were Mary Lippincott Somerville Hart and Richard Lippincott of Riverton, NJ. “Ricky” attended the Vineland Training School in New Jersey until he was eighteen and then immediately entered the work force. He had a variety of jobs that included Inductotherm Corp. and OTC Ser-vices. He worked at the latter for over 25 years until he retired at age 70. Ricky was a dedicated and loyal employee, rising before 5 am each morning to make his lunch and ride his bike several miles to catch a bus to work. For all his challenges, Ricky was quite a remarkable individual, and a terrific conversationalist with an extraordinary vocabulary. In his younger years he was a competitive bowler, rarely missing a strike. Board games, crossword puzzles (always with a dictionary on hand), jigsaw puzzles and Stuart Woods novels were his hobbies. His favorite sport teams were the Phillies and Philadelphia Eagles. He knew more than most about their history, players, stats and trivia. He knew play by play of the recent Phillies vs Reds game with Harper being the star. What Ricky loved most were his family and friends. To his great nephews, he was known as “Slick Rick”, always game to share a Yuengling, play corn hole, or just be a part of the action. He enjoyed holidays with family and appreciated the attention and help he received from his cousin Ellen Miller and his dear friend Pat Morton at Assistance for Seniors. He also enjoyed spending time with his wonderful companions Todd, Darlene and Kelly. In later years they were an integral part of his life. After living at the Evergreens for 30 years Ricky earned the title of the longest living resident. Everyone loved his quick sense of humor, contagious laugh and his friendly caring personality. Ricky is survived by his sister Ann Lippincott of Las Vegas NV, his cousins Ellen Miller, Philip Lippincott, Lee Brooks, and Jay Tyler, his nephew Stephen Murray, his nieces Lee Honsinger and Kim Colville, and his great nephews Jake Colville, Harry Colville, Tyler Honsinger and Pat-rick Honsinger. He was predeceased by his sister Eleanor Lippincott Murray. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the charity of your choice or think of Ricky as you root for the Phillies and Eagles. A grave side service will be planned in late spring at Westfield Friends Meeting.
