The namesake of the University of Iowa’s Henry B. Tippie College of Business — and numerous other funds, scholarships, boards and faculty chairs — died Sunday at age 95.

Tippie — who grew up on a farm in Belle Plaine, served in the U.S. Army during World War II, attended UI on the G.I. Bill, and made his way to Wall Street, where his business acumen propelled the wealth he’d use to launch endless philanthropic endeavors — passed away at his home in Austin, Texas.
