David Shippee

My dear friend, Your sudden passing rocked me in a way that it hard to explain. I could not stop crying. For days. I could not go into Cindy´s for about a year. To this day I look for your truck there. For 3 years I could not bring myself to go to the Art Festival. I felt your absence too profoundly. Today was the first time I´ve been to your grave. The first time I felt able to see your grave. Your stone is so perfectly elegant. I feel so grateful and proud that Kyle made it possible for...

Missing you my friend every painting season brings fond memories .

One of the finest men I have ever known.
Rest in Peace David. I will miss you.

Rest in peace my friend. You will be in my prayers. S Glidden

So sorry for your loss.Bobby so enjoyed reminiscing with Dave when he got to see him at restaurant.We will miss his smiling face.

We were so saddened to hear of Dave's passing. We both have many fond memories from "back in the day" and hanging out at The Corner. Mike often talks about how he and Dave and some other friends would decide to drive to NYC just to get a steak. Dave had the best smile and was kind to everyone. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

David, though I didn't know you nearly as well as I would have liked, I want to thank you for the legacy you left behind. Three amazing sons who you took immense pride in. A model of a healthy, happy, and loving relationship as the one you shared with Al. And a spirit of adventure and humor you instilled in your boys. You will certainly be missed. I'm thankful we met though, and thankful that you were father to the man I love. I don't think he could have gotten any luckier than he did with you.

David Shippee's smile will always remain in my heart. My Sister Eileen, Brother Tommy and Brother in law Larry have some of the best stories of them hanging out with David.
How vivid the imagine I have of smiling David all dressed up in a Dress, Wig and High Heal Shoes just because the gang asked him to!
What a great person with a sweet great big smile,
that is how I will always remember David.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Miriam.

Sincerely, ...
