Although I did not get to know Dr. Flippen incredibly well over the years, I meet him at a young age and I remember him being so kind, intelligent, and whitty. He really took me in and was always so interested in what was going on in my life. He is missed.

Lew was my Dentist, my teacher, my friend. Always there for me before, during and after dental school. We remember the times at Sandbridge, and the special dinners with Lew.
