Dr. Lipman died of cancer Friday in his Near North home.

A nationally known neurologist, he had been on the hospital staff since 1972. He rose to head the neurology section in 1991 and became vice chairman of the department of internal medicine the following year.

In 1993, he was appointed Fellow of the American Academy of Physicians. At the time, Dr. Serafino Garella, chairman of St. Joseph's department of medicine, said Dr. Lipman was "a compassionate and dedicated clinician, a patient, enthusiastic and effective teacher, a thoughtful and mature professional who is dedicated to our profession and to the betterment of society."

A 1962 graduate of Northwestern University's Medical School, he interned at its Wesley Pavilion before serving as captain in the Army Medical Corps at Fort Bliss, Texas, from 1963 to 1965. He returned to Wesley after his discharge to serve his residency.
