Tau brother and 2015 Kappa Sigma Tau Man of the Year Rob Lippincott passed away on Friday, November 4, at his home in Austin. He was 74 years old.
Rob and his wife, Cathy, created Guero's Taco Bar in 1986, opening the original location on East Oltorf Avenue, and moving nine years later to their current location on South Congress Avenue. Guero's became the anchor for the revitalization of South Congress Avenue, which Rob spearheaded.
"Rob's legacy as a business and political leader has left a bright, blazing trail across the Texas sky," said Tau brother Joe Longley '63. "He personified the Tau spirit of exceptionalism in all he accomplished, exemplified in Austin's iconic SoCo (South Congress) culture that enriches the lives of all who visit."
"As a Tau brother," he added, "Rob, and his beautiful wife, Cathy, always contributed their time, talent, and treasure to make our Chapter the best." Some May Equal -- But None Excel. So long, ole' pal!"
