Clyde L. Shipman III, born in Williamsport, Pa., Dec. 12, 1948, departed this life on Oct. 12, 2002, in Dover, Delaware. Beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and cousin; he will be very much missed.
Clyde was the son of the late Clyde L. Shipman, Jr. and Ruth (Felmlee) Shipman. He was a graduate of Williamsport High School and graduated from Penn State University in 1970.
Clyde is survived by his wife Linda; his daughter Susanna (Patrick); grandchildren Daniel and Emma; brother David (Pam); and many precious family members and friends.
A devoted family man and loyal friend, Clyde’s favorite pursuits were hunting at Bear Hollow Hunting Camp in Liberty, Pa., enjoying Phillies baseball games and Eagles and Penn State football, and spending time with family, friends, and co-workers. A choir boy in his youth, he spent many years singing in his church’s worship team. For some years he shared a flea market table with a friend at Spence’s Bazaar, Auction & Flea Market in Dover and had a loyal following for his wares. He also enjoyed his years with the Dover Stamp Club.
Employed for over 30 years with Delaware State Parks, he served on the Delaware Parks Advisory Council after retirement, a duty he truly enjoyed.
In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to The Gideons International @ SendTheWord.org. Condolences may be sent via: www.pippinfuneralhome.com.
