He leaves his son, Lawrence Lipari Jr.; three sisters, Mary Card and her husband Clifford, Barbara Janis and her husband, Daniel, and Carolyn Rousseau and her husband, Ronald; his brother, Francis Lipari and his wife, Theresa; four sisters-in-law, Irene Watroba, Ann Watroba, Dorothy Watroba and Phyllis Watroba, and many nieces and nephews.

FUNERAL NOTICE — A Liturgy of Christian Burial for Mr. Lipari will be held on Friday, June 19, at 11 from St. Joseph's Church, 414 North St., celebrated by the Rev. Geoffrey J. Deeker, CSS. Burial will follow in the family plot in St. Joseph's Cemetery.

Calling hours will be Friday morning, prior to the service, from 9 to 10:30 at Flynn & Dagnoli-Bencivenga Funeral Home, 5 Elm St., Pittsfield.
