After attaining his 100th birthday and a lifetime of enjoyment and achievement, Dr. Morris J. Lipnik passed away peacefully at his Bonita Springs home on November 23, 2022. Born in August 1922 to Polish emigrants Lillian Portnoy and Louis Lipnik, Dr. Lipnik spent most of his life in Detroit, Michigan. Dr. Lipnik was a graduate of Wayne State University's medical program and served two years in the Army which sent him for training at Walter Reed Medical Center. Dr. Lipnik completed his graduate work in Dermatology at his first choice school, The University of Pennsylvania, having rejected an offer from Harvard! In 1946 he married the love of his life, Lois Wertheimer, and began a successful Dermatology practice that spanned over 70 years in both Michigan and SW Florida. Dr. Lipnik loved his calling to work in medicine and never wanted to leave it, choosing not to retire until age 94 to the despair of his loyal patients and colleagues. Dr. Lipnik was an avid boater, gardener and bridge player. He enjoyed reading, classical music and live theater. He traveled extensively throughout his life, enjoying all the history and wonders of the world. Dr. Lipnik was finally able, at age 96, to visit the Golden Buddha during his last great trip, a month-long cruise to Southeast Asia. He is survived by his loving daughter Carol (Jerry) Sebastian, three wonderful grandchildren: Stephen Viola, Jamie (Jason) McNatt, and Julia (Joe) Curry, as well as six delightful Great Grandchildren: Katherine Viola, Colin, Rory, Miles and Pierce McNatt and Jordan Laird as well as his dear sister-in-law Lori (Carl) Lipnik, five nieces and nephews and numerous dearly-loved friends. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Lois, his devoted daughter Susan (John) Bustard and his exceptional brother Dr. Carl Lipnik. Funeral services will be held Saturday, December 3, 11:00 AM at Hodges Funeral Home in Naples, Florida. Internment at Naples Memorial Gardens.
