Eric "Butch Zipp" Szyplowski

Eric “Butch Zipp” Szyplowski, a resident of Bridgeport, PA, passed away on October 12, 2026, in Bridgeport, PA. He was 64 years old.

Born in Collegeville, PA, on February 13, 1962, Butch was the son of the late Minnie (Cosmi) and John Szyplowski, Jr.

Following high school, Butch began his career working for his family’s business, Zipp’s Auto Repair, where he developed his skills as a mechanic. He later joined Elliott & Frantz, where he dedicated 38 years of service before retiring in 2024. Outside of work, Butch enjoyed auto racing, a passion he shared with his brother for 12 years. He also purchased a house in the mountains in Mansfield, PA that he enjoyed, although not getting up there as often as he’d like since his strong work ethic kept him busy.

Butch will be lovingly remembered by his brother, Scott Szyplowski; his sister, Barbara Szyplowski; and many extended family members and friends.

In addition to his parents, Butch was preceded in death by his sister-in-law, Patti Szyplowski.
