Condolence: Dear Sarah, Steve and Harrison, Please accept our sincerest sympathy for the loss of your father and grandfather. Our hearts go out to you at this difficult time. Sincerely, Anita, Bill and Drew Wemple

Condolence: It's so hard to believe that Mickey is no longer with us. The Class of 1964 of Cherry Valley Central School was small but connected. We started kindergarten together and graduated together, so we were classmates, playmates and friends . . . indelible parts of each other's daily lives for a very long time. Needless to say, one could only have the fondest memories of Mickey, a good guy with a wry sense of humor and overall kindness. It's sad indeed to see a member of that small school class leave us, but he leaves behind splendid memories. My condolences and warmest wishes for strength and solace to everyone in his family at this difficult time. John Webb

Condolence: I will always have warm and memorably fun memories of Mickey and his impact on me as a new BHBL teacher. I was lucky to cross paths with him at the YMCA over the years-his humor never stopped. My prayers are with you all.

Condolence: Dear Barb, We extend our deepest sympathy to you, Sarah and the entire family at this time of deep sorrow. We will be with you in spirit since we cannot be there in person. We pray God's peace will fill your hearts. We have another angel in heaven now! Love, Cindy and Paul

Condolence: I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Shipway was such a wonderful and kind man. Even though everyone called him Mickey, I could never bring myself to call him anything than Mr. Shipway. I had so much respect for him. I will miss talking with him at the Y everyday, he was such a great person.

Condolence: Dear Barbara and Sarah, Mickey was one of our original Pedaling For Parkinson's members at The Greater Glenville YMCA. I looked forward to seeing his smile as he rode his favorite bike! He was such a positive people person and I was blessed to have known him. Laura DeNovio

Condolence: Barb and Sarah so sorry for your loss. Micky will certainly be missed by all, lots of good memories in our days together at the high school

Condolence: I remember Mickey as a vibrant high school fellow student who made me laugh because of his sly sense of humor. It is so difficult to loose a vibrant member of a community and family. I wish you peace of mind. My condolences.

Condolence: Barbra please accept my sympathy on Mickey's death. I remember fondly our years together at BHBL. Mickey was one of the best people to work with and I treasure that experience. He truly was a gentleman and he will be missed.

Condolence: I was lucky enough to have had Mr. Shipway for Algebra 2/Trig and then for Calculus back in the mid-70's. While I truly enjoyed his classes, I would have never dreamed that he would have such a profound impact on my life. I began teaching math in 1981 and I am still teaching today and I patterned much of my teaching style after his. I even found a copy of our trig book at a yard sale once and I pull it out several times a year and tell my students how Mr. Shipway used to teach us logarithms or how to calculate trig functions all without a calculator. My condolences to his family and I can only thank God that he was my math teacher.

Condolence: Dear Barbara and Sarah, We were saddened to learn of Mickey's passing. He was a good friend and an outstanding administrator. His deadpan sense of humor was enjoyed by all. He will be missed by his many friends and colleagues. We are currently out of town, but send you and yours our deepest sympathy.

Condolence: Dear Barbara and Sarah, We are deeply saddened to hear of Mickey's death. We loved working with him. He was dedicated to the students and his fellow workers. Mickey was a fun person to be with and he was a bedrock of support helping all of us each and every day. We are in North Carolina,so unfortunately we cannot join you for the services. However, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Bill and Sue Schultz

Condolence: I never had Mr Shipway but I remember him from school. My condolences go out to his family. Will keep them in my thoughts and prayers.

Condolence: During my years as Supt, at BHBL, I had the OPPORTUNITY to work with Mickey. He was so competent in everything he undertook. But,most of all, he was fun! He would look at you with a straight face and say outlandish things, then pause after your reaction, and break into a BIG smile an then laughter. My first week at BHBL I entered the Admin. bldg. on a blustery, freezing day with only my sport coat for warmth. Standing there was this guy I had never met. I said, "Jeez is it cold!" And that guy said, "It's winter! Put your coat on!" That was my intro to Mickey. After that, he made me laugh each time I saw him. A great guy and a fine educator! BH-BL was lucky to have him. I was lucky to know him and work with him. Thanks, Mickey. BH

Condolence: So sorry to hear of Mickey's passing. Our deepest sympathy to Barbara and her family. Betty and I will have many fond remembrances of Mickey from our days together at Oneonta State to our teaching years together at BH High to the years when he was the best Assistant37 Principal I ever worked under! God bless him and may he rest in peace!

Condolence: A fine teacher and devoted administrator. BH-BL schools are better today for work he did during his long and loyal tenure. What you saw was what you got. Condolences to Barbara and family.

Condolence: Sorry to hear of Mickey's passing. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Barb and the family. We shared many good times when we worked together at BHBL.

Condolence: I'm sorry to hear of Mr. Shipway's passing. I always remember him being a nice man, with a smile on his face. My condolences to his family.

Condolence: Mr. Shipway was one of my favorite coaches at Burnt Hills. I enjoyed seeing him through the years at BH-BL when I was there with our club swim team. He was a great leader (basketball and school) and his warm smile and genuine care for people will be greatly missed. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Class of 1985

Condolence: We are sorry to learn of the passing of Mr Shipway. We remember him from the community and our sons school years. He was a kind and cheerful man. Our condolences to his family.
