3/17/2019 Dear Pam & Family, Please forgive me for how long it’s taken to find the words to make an entry into Brian’s Guest Book, but make an entry I must. What a great guy; what a friend; what a Teammate; what an athlete; what a handsome dude or Hollywood SEAL as the East Coasters would affectionately refer to one of their West Coast Brothers; what an incredible photographer; what a dear friend. Brian gifted us all with his presence. My love & comfort to Pam & the entire family (Lippe, Murphy & Frog Family) Hooyah Brian Lippe
“B” as I called Brian, was my sister Nancy’s roommate when I met him. He introduced me to Steve, my husband of 31 years, until his death in 2010. Brian was Steve’s best friend, his platoon mate at ST1 and best man at our wedding in 1978 in Olongapoe, PI (of all places). Steve passed in 2010 and Brian (along with Roger Hayden) helped me spread some of Steve’s ashes in a secret place in Coronado, in keeping with our promise to Steve. So many of the photos I have of Steve were taken by Brian, lasting treasures that I will have and keep forever. We miss you so much B. Your ridiculous handsomeness, your brilliant life-time of photography, your friendship and your love for Pam, the kids and grand children will forever stay in our hearts. Sending love and peace to all who love you.
Brian was a warrior who put out 110%. He was one of 21 Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL graduates out of 130 from Class 83 in the summer of 1975. He will always have my utmost respect and admiration, and will be remembered for his toughness and sense of humor during the hard times. It has been an honor knowing you my friend.Dave
It is very comforting to read these wonderful messages about my brother Brian. Thank you all for that. I’m not sure we have ever seen anything like the fight he endured, nor will we again. He is no longer in pain and for that I am thankful. You will be missed … At Ease BroBri… Love you, Sis
Very sorry to here of Brian’s passing. I new Brian from being on the United States Naval Pentathlon Team with him and at Seal Team One. He talked me into going to school getting a degree and to keep furthering my education. He was a great mentor, freind and will be greatly missed by all. God Bless his family.
I am saddened to learn of Brian’s passing. He was a SEAL brother. We served together many years ago. He always had a kind word for me when we would run into each other over the years. May God heal his family’s broken heart and calm your sorrow. Treasure his memories and the life that he led. God bless you all.Fair winds and following seas Brian.Respectfully, Scott
Brian and I worked together at BUD/S Training as diving phase instructors. He was a real pro with an unquenchable positive outlook. We worked hard together and laughed just as hard. What a great guy to have had in my life. So sad to hear that he has passed. May God bless his family while dealing with the loss.
Although I did not know your family, I am sure my husband, H. Philip Andrews, did. I extend my sincere sympathy to you and yours across the miles from Tidewater, Virginia.
I am SO SORRY to hear of Brians passing. He was a much beloved fellow alumni, artist, and patriot, and PERSON, and will be GREATLY missed. My prayers and condolences are with ALL of your family, knowing he will be resting in eternal peace.
