Pipenhagen, Phillip "Mick" Lifelong resident of Anoka, age 80, passed away, Tuesday, November 28, 2017. He was born on August 23, 1937 to Roy and Natalie Pipenhagen. In March 1957, he married the love of his life, Jackie (Besch) Pipenhagen. He was so proud of his work of over 40 years at Hoffman Engineering. He retired at the age of 60, and for the past 20 years he really enjoyed retirement, by traveling, playing golf, bowling, taking care of his beautiful yard and gardens, serving his church and community in so many ways. Mick is survived by his wife of 60 years, Jackie, his children, Deb Morgan, Michael (Cindy) Pipenhagen, his cherished grandchildren, Amy (Greg Miller), Jackie and Joe Rollings, Mary Pipenhagen, his great grandsons, Alex, Gabe, Broc and Brayden, his brother Tom (Mary Alice) Pipenhagen, Sister and Brother in laws, and many beloved Nieces and Nephews. Those that went before him, have now welcomed him into heaven, including his parents Roy and Natalie, his sisters, Joan Church, Mary Lou Leider and Margie Dorholt. Mick was truly a unique person who always put family first. We want to thank Allina Hospice; you were angels both to him and us, his family.
