Louis Lippert

Louis Brandt Lippert, 66, of Chillicothe, passed away at 9:40am, on Wednesday, May 4, 2016, at the Adena Regional Medical Center. He was born on May 13, 1949, in Harrisburg, PA to the late Dr. Louis C. and the late L. Joanne (Campbell) Lippert. Brandt graduated from Fox Chapel High School in Pittsburgh, PA, class of 1967. He went on to earn a BA in History from the University of Rochester; Rochester, NY, in 1971, and then an Executive MBA, from the Carlson School of Business, University of Minnesota; Minneapolis, MN in 1992. He was the Chief Human Resources Officer at Adena Regional Medical Center in Chillicothe, OH from 2004-2008; Vice President of Human Resources at Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa, Mason City, IA from 1993-2003; Director of Human Resources at Mercy Medical Center- North Iowa, Mason City, IA from 1979-1993; Assistant Director of Personnel at Mercy Medical Center- North Iowa, Mason City, from 1978 to 1979; and Director of Personnel at Dubois Hospital, Dubois, PA from 1972-1978. He was a member of the Society for Human Resources Management from 1995 to 2004, and also Member and Chair of the Mason City Human Rights Commission from 1998 to 2004. Brandt was a strong believer that the workforce was the most important resource of any organization and loved his work as a human resources professional. His interests were vast and varied from knowing every battle of the Civil War to what embodied a good glass of wine. He was the ultimate collector, especially the many books he amassed and read. He absorbed all that was around him then shared and enhanced others with his knowledge. Yes, his irreverent sense of humor will be missed but most of all his endearing way of making people feel special. He is survived by his wife Loretta/Lori (Berger) Lippert, and their son Cameron, both of Chillicothe; "his shadow" and feline companion, Akiko; his brother, Gill Lippert, of Mechanicsburg, PA; and sister Lyla (David) Fortier, of Gibsonia, PA. Calling hours will be held from 6:00pm-8:00pm on Friday, May 13, 2016 at the Haller Funeral Home, 1661 Western Avenue, Chillicothe, OH 45601. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to an animal shelter of the donor's choice.
