Mark Lipman, president of Mark Lipman Service, one of the nation's largest private investigative businesses, died of cancer Sunday night at his home in Memphis. He was 88. Services will be at Temple Israel Synagogue at 2 p.m. today with burial at Temple Israel Cemetery. Canale Funeral Directors has charge. Mr. Lipman was born in Philadelphia in 1905, the last of 10 children of an immigrant tailor. He studied accounting at Temple University and worked in the Office of Price Administration during World War II. He began his private investigation career tracing "skippers" for his brother's finance company in Philadelphia. He moved to Little Rock in 1935, where he started his investigation service. In 1958, the firm relocated to Memphis, where it specialized in claim work for attorneys and helping businesses stop employee theft. Mr. Lipman also provided special investigation services to Fortune 500 companies, and he became a confidant to many corporate leaders early in their careers. Among them was Sam Walton, with whom Mr. Lipman used to count register receipts at Walton's first stores. In 1970, the Mark Lipman Service became a division of Guardsmark Inc., the nation's fifth largest private security firm. Guardsmark's chairman and president is Mr. Lipman's son, Ira A. Lipman. Widely recognized as one of the most skilled interrogators in the country, Mr. Lipman was the subject of the 1973 book Stealing, which he co-wrote with Robert Daley, chronicling his career and exposing employee theft as "the new American pastime." Mr. Lipman, a lifetime member of the American Society for Industrial Security, was a frequent lecturer and talk show guest on the subjects of crime and security. In 1975, the Lipman Criminology Library was established at the Center for Studies in Crimininology and Criminal Law at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. In addition to his son, he is survived by his wife of 64 years, Belle; a daughter, Carol Lipman of Memphis, and three grandsons. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis in his memory.
