Steve Tipping, who died on Aug. 11, 2017. Photo: Tipping & Associates By Lulu Tipping Steve Tipping, Nov. 12, 1947 – Aug. 11, 2017. Steven was born Nov. 12, 1947 in Ithaca, New York, to Kenneth and Virginia Tipping; his father was studying law at Cornell University, where his mother had completed her undergraduate degree. He was the third of four children. His father’s work brought them to Long Island and a year living abroad in Venezuela. His parents’ divorce led his mother and her children back to her hometown in Salamanca, New York. Steven’s interest in building was evident at an early age — if he didn’t have it, he would build it. He was an athlete — football quarterback, basketball guard, pole-vaulter. Pole vaulting incorporated speed , strength, suspension, and physics. It thrilled him so much that he constructed his own bar and pit in the backyard. He practiced diligently and made it to the state level in competition. After graduating from Salamanca High School in 1965, St...
