Husband of Altha Gipson who passed away at age 90 on January 3, 2000 in Evansville, Indiana. His children (from his first marriage to Evelyn) include daugther, Betty Cannon of Indianapolis, and four sons, Harlan Gipson of Plainfield, Indiana, Joe Gipson of Greenwood, Indiana, Bailey Gipson of St. Petersburg, Florida, and Will Gipson of Naples, Florida.
My parents bought a farm during my senior year in high school. With it came a rental property. During most of the time that my parents owned the farm, they rented the extra house to Mr. and Mrs. Gipson. They were almost like family. Mr. Gipson passed away the same year my Dad died. Then Mrs. Gipson moved back to the Evansville area to be with her brothers and sisters. We kept in touch until she passed away.
