  • Dale Shipp

    From Michiel van der Vlist@2:280/5555 to All on Sunday, April 19, 2026 17:54:17
    Hello All,

    According to Gregory Deyss, Dale Shipp has passed away.

    I found this:

    https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/columbia-md/r-shipp-11993077

    Can anyone confirm this is indeed Dale Shipp of 1:261/1466 ?


    Cheers, Michiel

    sadly, yes, i can... i met Dale and Gale at a Cooking echo gathering in North Carolina a few years back... maybe early 2019?? it has been a while... the picture on that page certainly looks like the gentleman i met there with others that i shared a pot of beans with... the description is certainly accurate with life details i've read in stories he and Gail used to share in the Cooking echo... i remember when Dale stepped down from moderating Cooking but i didn't realize that he passed back in 2024...

    ... I now return the list to its regular nattering away over trivia.

    He was a decent man. His dissappearance from life and still being listed as a sysop after a year and a half is kind of a shock.

    One of ours leaving and nobody noticing?

    I've written obituaries for many, but I haven't known him enough to do it now. Maybe someone else will do the honours?
