Lippy had wanted to be a paramedic ever since he stuck his arm through a glass door when he was 3, Childs said.
"He had to have major surgery on his arm and, I guess, because of that, being in and out of the hospital so long when he was 3," said Childs, 40, who said she vividly remembers how Lippy would hurry home from school to watch "Emergency!," the 1970s television show about paramedics and firefighters.
Lippy began working as a volunteer firefighter as a teen, as soon as he could drive, Childs said. When he became a state trooper four years ago, he worked patrol for less than a year before applying for the aviation unit, Childs said.
A viewing for Lippy will be from 2 to 8 p.m. today at Gamber Volunteer Fire Station, 3838 Niner Road in Finksburg. The funeral will be at the fire station at 11 a.m. tomorrow.
