Dear Bev
Where do I start?… when I got the news of my mate, I was in shock and devastated.
He was always lovely and made me laugh always. Going to miss him dearly sitting in his chair when I delivered your shopping.
Thinking of you Bev and extended family.
Brett Glinski (your delivery man) ..Love too you all
Neil, dearly loved son of Charles and Jean Ipsen (both dec) formerly of Gingell St Castlemaine.
Much loved brother to Joan (dec) Ian, Janice and Joy.
Fun loving Uncle who shared his love of fishing and the bush with his nieces and nephews.
Never forgotten. Admired, respected and cherished.

Neil…(Skip).
We first met Neil in 1985 when he booked into the caravan park in Bermi.
He was one of the best mentors we could ever have, teaching Jim and I to game fish.
When our father passed he did not hesitate to help in the park when we went down to the funeral.
Always willing to lend a hand and give advice with any problems.
So grateful to have had Neil’s presence in our lives.
Will be sadly missed.
Love and Sincere sympathy to Bev, Julie and Dave, Ron and Yvonne, Jimmy and families.
Bob, Sharon, Tim and Erin Scott
Dear Mrs Ipsen, I was sad to hear of the passing of Mr Ipsen when you told me last Friday.
I wondered why I only had one lot of medication to deliver to you, as there was always 2 packs for you and Mr Ipsen.
I’d like to say that it was always a pleasure every time I brought you your medication’s, as we would always have a quick 5 minute chin wag every week.
To me, He was a great man and I am sure he will be sadly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing Him.
Please accept my sincere condolences.
Roger Rufus.
I have lovely memories of Neil on the farm, a real gentleman.
My condolences to Julie and Ron such a sad day.

To all of Neil’s family. I had the honour of working with Neil at Yallourn W Power Station in the 80s and 90s.
Neil was always such a balanced, good-natured man; so easy to like and work with. He was a real gentleman and a pleasure to be in the same room with.
I would often shout “Hello” and wave to him, when I ran past his property along Beck’s Bridge Road, Moe North.
And would send him a warm recognition or response on FB.
Although, I have not seen Neil for many years, to learn of his passing has invoked a deep sadness.
God bless you Neil, and all your family.
It’s been an honour.
