I'll forever miss you George.I hope you're listening to the lovely classic jazz up there in Heaven. Till we meet. Cheers . Tino

Your wonderful father saved my life almost 61 years ago.  After a diagnosis of malignant melanoma, Dr. Tipton performed the surgery which (thankfully) saved my life.  My visits with him for the next ten years were happy ones.  I always knew I was in good hands with this loving and skilled physician.  I'm glad I got to see him  again at the clinic where he was visiting his son.  I was there for physical therapy and my youngest daughter was with me.  I introduced them, and when I told my daughter who he  was, she thanked him for saving her mother's life.  When I  told him that I now had five children and seven grandchildren and that I had enjoyed a happy and healthy life.  he seemed so pleased.  Bless him always and bless you, his very fortunate children.  I send you my love and condolences.

Dr. Tipton was my father's doctor for about 30 years.  He took great care of my dad, but not only that, he was my dad's friend.  My father passed away in 1981, and many years later, when my mom became ill, although he was no longer practicing, Dr. Tipton gave me advice regarding her care. Dr. Tipton was a doctor who not only took care of his patients, he "cared" for them.  What a wonderful, great and extraordinary  man; our family is blessed to have known him. Prayers are sent to you from the children of J.D. Alexander.

Buddy and Family.

What a glorious man and life story!

So enjoyed his medical/military history presentations at Journal 
Club.
An amazing and inspiring Life Story.  Truly was of the Greatest Generation.

An impressive life!  The kind of physician that brought many of us into the medical profession.  Kate Lindsay, RN....former SMC OR Nurse

Dr. Tipton had an amazing life of service and love for his family, community, country and the medical community.  Condolences to Ellen, Buddy, Brenda & the next two generations of the family.  With tremendous respect - Jeff Clark

With heartfelt sympathy and an immense admiration for this
extraordinary man, I send thoughts of strength and support to his beloved children Ellen and Buddy and family.

I first met Dr. Tipton at the bank where I worked on moving to Austin.  It also was where I got to know Olive, a most vivacious lady.  Later I lived across the street from Buddy and Brenda and got to see Dr. Tipton on many occasions.  He was very youthful, intelligent and interesting.  After reading of his WWII experiences, I can realize how much he enjoyed his trips to Europe in later years.  In all he was a very impressive person and the family was lucky to have had him these many years.

Thinking of you all during this difficult time. Prayers for peace, strength and courage in the coming days. Love, Sarah Hull

I arrived in Austin to start my anesthesia practice in 1972. I had the blessing of being able to work with George at the old Seton when it was just off the UT campus.  We all moved to the new Seton at its present location.  George was a wonderful person to spend time with.  He always had a smile and a joke, some of which were groaners.  I never saw him get upset with anyone in the surgical
arena.  Could not say that for all the surgeons I worked with. A few years later I was also blessed to work with his son Buddy of whom George was most proud.
The apple did not fall far from the tree.
George was a true gentleman in all respects and will be missed by all who worked
with him .    David Hopkins M.D.

I never knew Dr. Tipton but I read his obituary in the American Statesman. I thank you for sharing the story of his life. My father was also at Anzio and was wounded there. They may have crossed paths in a hospital tent. Again, thank you for your exceptional insight into such a remarkable member of the greatest generation.

My condolences in the loss of your Father. I'm so glad you were able to have him for so long. He was such a interesting man, and always the Gentleman! It was always a pleasure to help him in surgery. I can still hear his laugh even now.
I know he is heaven helping to make a star or helping a new angel with their wings.

A wonderful man who served his country, his state & his community with great skill & dignity. Kent Beasley MD

My prayers are with you,  He was a wonderful man and took very good care of my mother.  I remember when he came to the house and told her she had blood clots and would have to go back to the hospital.  He was kind and caring.  What a blessing to have had him for so long.

I also have a picture of him in our wedding book!  I will never forget him!

When I think of Dr. George Tipton, I think of a kind and genuine man who was totally dedicated to his calling.  He will be remembered for who he was and what he did to serve for others.

Ellen and Buddy
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in the loss of your dad. It was a real honor working for him in the office and he certainly taught us all the importance of caring and giving.

An outstanding medical collogue, personality, and contributor to this community has left us.  I liked him extremely.  If superannuation combined with true quality were a life span

 Julia sends her condolences. " We have all lost someone who was a wonderful person who has done much good in this life for so many people, besides his own family.  We know there were many patients and people who loved and respected him". (written for Julia by staff, MLD, at Belmont Village in Austin)

Ellen and Buddy,
You are in my thoughts and prayers at this time of your father's passing.I am deeply grateful for your parents' friendship with mine and for the tremendous influence they all were on our lives.

Way to go, George  --102.  Prayers for family members from a retired Physician
who sent Dr. Tipton referrals over the years.  T.Sousares

We send our condolences upon the passing of this wonderful sweet kind friend and neighbor of more than fifty years. Dr. Tipton went to Highland Park High
with my Dad and uncle Joe Wilson who were so fond and proud of him.
Plus, he sewed me up on more than one occasion. 
  We send our love and very best wishes. Will Wilson, Jr

I did not know Dr. Tipton, in fact never heard of him until I read his obituary in the paper. I do know we have lost another certified American hero of the "Greatest Generation". My dad, 1Lt Bill King, served in the 1st Armored Division under General Patton in North Africa. He was wounded and may have been treated by Dr. Tipton while there. It is very probable my dad was treated by the doctor when he was seriously wounded in Anzio and med-evacuated from the 15th Evac hospital back to the States. If not for Dr Tipton and his staff, I would not be here today.
My sincere condolences to the family and my thanks to a true hero.

Sorry to hear of the death of Dr Tipton.  We are thinking of you during this time with heart felt sympathies.  Thank you for your services to humankind.  Your deeds will always be treasured.  Hebrews 6:9,10
