My father, Edwin J Lipinski was a bombardier on the B-17, Silver Meteor, which Harry Seip was the pilot of. He also flew 35 missions with Mr Seip bringing him home safely every mission. Were it not for Mr Seip's bravery and piloting skills, I would not be here today. For that I thank you Mr Seip and may you RIP and may you be with God for everlasting eternity.

Whether my thoughts go back to Wauwatosa or the farm,I will often have a smile on my face when remembering the times Barb and I spent with the Seips. Our prayers for a peaceful heart in this time of sorrow go out to Jim, Andy and Lindy.

I have many fond memories of Mr. & Mrs. Seip, they were like parents to me, always welcoming me into their home. As a friend of Jim, I was always at the house. We visited the farm often, always looked forward to seeing them. They were truly wonderful people that made my life better and I will always be grateful for knowing them and their children. Rest in peace...
