Mr. Lipman graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1960 and founded Guardsmark, one of the world’s premier private security companies, in 1963. His company’s guiding principles – truth, courage and judgment – carried over into his relationships.
Barbara Kelly and Ira A. Lipman were married in July of 1970. She was a trailblazer in early childhood education, having completed her undergraduate degree in her early 40s and then getting a master’s degree. Barbara and Ira enjoyed exploring new subjects, which led to a lifelong interest in collecting prints, rare books and more.
