Dear Mrs. Stipicevic and family,
I just found out today about Mr. Stipicevic death, I am still in shock. I am a former student of Mr. Stipicevic; I was in his History 121 class last fall and his History121 this spring. He was a great teacher; he would always go the extra mile for his students. Mr. Stipicevic will be missed, he was a good, and fair man. In class he would always talk about you and the children. One could tell how much he loved and how proud he was of his family. He would slip pictures of his children into his slide presentations. Words escape me, I am so very sorry for your families’ loss. Mr. Stipicevic and your family will be in my prayers.

Dear Jean and family,
Words cannot express how saddened I was at news of John's death. He was one of the most knowledgeable and accomplished yet understated and modest individuals I have ever had the pleasure to know. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Family meant everything to John as you know. I will miss him.

Jean, Annie, Meg and John,

I worked with your Husband/Dad at Stone Middle School from 1991-2002. He was one of the kindest, smartest and most compassionate people I have ever met. He cared so much about all of you and worked very hard to make sure all your dreams and aspirations came true. I remember when my daughter started dancing, he would proudly "warn" me about the crazy times ahead, and he was right on... He loved watching John play baseball growing up, and loved to tell his stories. I couldn't attend his service, unfortunately, but I know John would understand - my daughter had dance and my son had a soccer tournament! He was one of the most intelligent people I have ever met, and would always give us all another way of looking at an issue. I had planned to register for one of his NVCC classes someday just for the pleasure of hearing his wealth of historical knowledge. He was always the first peron I looked for every fall at county inservices. I will truly miss him. Please take care of yourselves.

God is blessing John now as he was an incredible man who taught us all both adults and children, how to appreciate our rich history and to care about our future. He will be missed.

Dear Jean,
I was genuinely shocked to hear of John's death. He was a gentleman and a scholar...very well spoken. I enjoyed hearing him talk.
I wish Patt and I had taken him up on attending a Sunday mass with him somewhere in the countryside of Virginia. He mentioned a place to get "the best pies" on the way home after mass. He was definitely an interesting person.
My prayers and thoughts are with you. Absorb the concern and caring that surrounds you and your family now and heal with it.

Jean, I was so sad to hear of the news of John's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I lost my husband 14 years ago and sometimes it seems like only yesterday. The good memories that you share with your family and your faith will help you through the bad times. Please call me at any time if there is something I can do, or if you just need somebody to talk too. My number is on the Powerless Parents roster. God bless you.

Dear Jean, Ann, Megan and John,

I knew your husband/dad as a friend and colleague at Stone Middle School. He was always so kind, calm and reserved. He was the most knowledgeable among us and our resident history expert. John often spoke about his family and was very proud of each of you. I think I will remember him most for the funny stories he told us from time to time. He was a gift to us and all the children he touched over the years. Know that he is in a good place and watching over you as you continue on until the day you will see him again.
