Trippin' With Willy

This is a four-part collection of pictures, videos, and stories from trips over the years with our dear friend, Willy Bippp, who left too soon on December 25, 2008.  Most of our travels together were to Yosemite, a very special place for all three of us.

Biff met Willy in 1977 or so, and they worked together on several theater projects, eventually teaming up on The Piparoos, a comedy act, over the next 30 years.  (But The Piparoos is another story.)

Taylor showed up later, playing with “the boys” as often as possible, sometimes even in Piparoo shows, but especially in Yosemite.

Willy was a constant friend from the very start of Biff & Taylor’s relationship:  their first date in 1982 (or was it 1983?!?) was to see Willy on opening night of a play he starred in:  “Teibele and her Demon” (guess which part Willy played!).

The following is a meager tribute to the many laughs over the years since…

(NOTE: There is music with each video.)

Lots of Fun in Yosemite
Over the Years!


And some more fun with Willy...


How could we know then
how much we'd miss him now?
Thanks for all the fun, old pal Willy...
