Virgil H. Ipock was born September 14, 1934 in Shannon County, MO, the son of Albert Benjamin Ipock and Gertrude Nellnora (Younger) Ipock. He passed way October 19, 2016 at Mountain View, MO at the age of 82 years, 1 month, and 5 days.
He was united in marriage to Nellie H. Cooley on April 5, 1958 in Eminence, MO and to this union two daughters were born Terri Doralea and Teresa Nelle.
Virgil was preceded in death by his loving wife Nellie; his parents Albert and Gertrude; and one brother Clifford Ipock.
He is survived by two daughters Terri Mendenhall and husband Gary of St. James, MO and Teresa Acord and husband Jim of Birch Tree, MO; one brother Bill Ipock and wife Fran of Birch Tree, MO; two sisters Patsy Dyer and Juanita Payne both of Summersville, MO; four grandsons Gary David Mendenall, Jr. and wife Tonia, Cary Daniel Mendenhall and wife Erin, Keith Allen Rader, and Wyatt Allen Acord; one great granddaughter Ashlee; three great grandsons Dalton, Noah, and Cash; and a host of beloved nephews, nieces, family and friends.
He was a timber worker by trade working as a logger and head sawyer in mills and various other rolls in the timber industry. He later owned and operated Ipock’s Garage in Eminence, MO but timberwork was in his blood and he often left the garage to go haul a load of pallet blocks. Virgil was an avid hunter and fisherman and spent countless hours with his family in pursuit of deer or turkey or that allusive “Biggen”. He was quite competitive with the fish count, who caught the first and biggest fish. He claimed the prime boat seats and was always the first one with a line in the water.
Virgil had a “gift” for witching wells before a well was being drilled. There are a number of wells in Shannon County that are to his credit for finding a water source and depth. He had a giving and compassionate heart and would do anything for anyone. He would give anyone who needed it the last penny that he had. He had a soft spot for children and children always seemed to have one for him.
Virgil didn’t always verbally express his thoughts and feelings but his wife, children and grandchildren had no doubt of the love and pride he had for each of them. He accepted Christ and was baptized at a young age. He loved the Lord and spent many hours reading his bible and discussing scripture with his beloved Nellie. He was a very private man about his thoughts and feelings and shared very little with anyone but Nellie. He taught his family many lessons with his quiet ways, hard work and unconditional love.
He will be greatly missed by his family, but they rejoice in knowing that after five long years without his beloved Nellie he has gone to his heavenly home to be with her and the Lord for eternity.
