Dear Gene, Karen and I are so sorry to hear of David´s passing. He was a kind gentleman and we will miss seeing him at The Pancake House. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. May his memory be eternal.

David was the consummate newspaper man. His encyclopedic knowledge and warm personality made it a true pleasure to work with him on The Pilot copy desk. He will truly be missed.

So sorry to hear of David's passing. He was such a sweet soul. Everyone is in my thoughts and prayers. I know what you are going thru

So sorry to hear about your loss. You know that God and Jesus are in the best position to comfort us when we lose a loved one in death.GG

I worked with Mr. Kippenbrock at The Virginian-Pilot for many of my years there - I absolutely adored that man and loved the amount of time he would share with me regarding all things journalistically. His knowledge and advise in all things dealing with life were not lost on me. Honored to have known this man. So Sorry for his family's loss.

I was honored to work with Kipp on the copy desk at The Virginian-Pilot. He was a true newspaperman, the embodiment of "institutional knowledge." My sincerest condolences to the family.

I worked with David for more than 30 years at The Ledger-Star, then The Virginian-Pilot. He was a gentleman and a source of knowledge about all things local. A dependable, loyal copy editor, he was a real asset to the paper and to the readers we served. Rest in peace, David.
