Former state Sen. Lipin has quadruple bypass

Former state Sen. Alfred J. Lipin is recovering from quadruple heart bypass surgery performed last week at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

"He should be coming home in the next few days," said his daughter, Lauri Raleigh, of Peekskill, N.Y.

Mr. Lipin, 73, was born in "Lipin's Corner" in Pasadena and grew up in the Glen Burnie area. A businessman long active in the Glen Burnie and Severna Park communities, he was a member of the state House of Delegates from 1967 to 1971. A Democrat, he then moved to the Senate, remaining until 1977. That year, he resigned his District 32 Senate seat to become undersecretary of the state Department of Licensing and Regulation and founded the Sawmill Creek Park Association.

Most recently, he has been involved in Glen Burnie urban renewal activities and in promoting further extension of the Central Light Rail line into Glen Burnie.

He and his wife, Irene, have four grown children.
