Ian Kippax

IAN KIPPAX 1938 – 2019

Volunteers from Fenprobe Talking News were very sad to hear that the Littleport Group recording technician, Ian Kippax, passed away last Thursday, 10 October.

Ian joined Fenprobe at the end of 2015 and had devotedly recorded every session since then except for holidays and the last one before his death. He often came straight from hospital appointments, seeing it as his duty as a volunteer. Members appreciated his skill as a recorder and dry humour, to which newspaper items some times gave rise. He was a much loved member of the group.

Apart from his volunteer work, Ian was an enthusiastic “photographer, winning several prestigious competitions. He and his wife, Barbara, were keen travellers, both at home and across Europe.

Fenprobe TN will miss him very much. The funeral will be held at the Fenland Crematorium, Knight’s End Road, March PE15 0YG on Wednesday, 23rd October at 3.30 pm.
