Burt was born on July 8, 1950 in Ogden, Utah. Burt was the oldest of eight children born to Harold and Barbara Lippold. He enlisted in the Marines in 1969 and later joined the Army Reserves. He retired from the Army Reserves after proudly serving his country during Iraqi Freedom from April 2007 ? April 2008. He married his sweetheart Deanne Higginson Lippold on September 6, 1996. They made great memories together.
He was a hard worker at a young age, very dedicated to his newspaper route. He later worked at Hill Air Force Base and Boeing for most of his career as an Aircraft Sheet Metal Mechanic. He loved working with his hands and was able to fix most everything he touched.
Burt's passions were road trips on his motorcycle with his wife, working on his many Corvair's and making friends wherever he went. He was a long time member of Bonneville Corvair Club and Gold Wing Road Riders Association where he served faithfully. Burt had a great love for music and could play the piano by ear. He had a vast collection of music and listened to it often.
