Former Nez Perce County Commissioner Bob Tippett has died. Tippett passed away Sunday morning in Arizona after a battle with cancer.

He was 78.

Tippett moved from Arizona to Lewiston in June 2003 to become the second executive director of Valley Vision, a nonprofit economic development organization serving Lewiston, Clarkston and Nez Perce and Asotin counties. He most recently served two terms as county commissioner before stepping down in October to address his health issues.

Tippett’s term on the county commission was filled by the appointment of Don Beck, who retained the seat when he won election last month. (Lewiston Tribune)
