David Ipsen Obituary
Dave was blessed with a loving marriage of 58 years to his wife, Joan Ipsen. He was a devoted father to his daughters Lisa Jacka and Lori Meyers.

It´s been many, many years but I believe I worked with Dave on a major FAA project way back when. I was the electronics project engineer on the then new Automated Flight Service Station at Boeing Field in the mid 80´s, he being my primary AT contact person for that job. Seeing his face brought back pleasant memories. It was a great project to work on and he was fun to work with. RIP Dave.

May your memories give you peace and comfort of your loved one. Words fall short of expressing my sorrow for the loss of your loved one. May GOD be with you all during this difficult time. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus.
