Owen (Buddy) Shipp III

I will miss you terribly my friend but will carry the lessons you have taught me thruout my life and am a much better man having known you. My prayers and thoughts are with all the family,, God Bless

Dear Wanda and all the family;
Our prayers of God's comfort and peace be near to you during these next few days, and always, as you honor Buddy... his life, lived for the Father, through countless days, here on earth, to help the suffering spiritually, and physically! He took that verse "feed my sheep" literally and spiritually, only it included his amazing barbeque creations!

May his infectious smile and spirit be lived out in each of you and all the generations to come, as you celebrate his life, honor his memory,and remember the impact God was able to have through him!
Our prayers are with you at this time, and as time goes by...may you move forward with what God has given you, in your memories with Buddy, and his legacy, which praise God, will live on through all eternity!
Love through Christ, James and Barbara Massie

I just recently met Buddy and I heard him speak at two meeting and was deeply impressed with his many stories of his life and The American Samaritan Fellowship. He was truly the Good Samaritan, and he will be greatly missed! May his memory always live in your hearts. God bless you.

We are so sorry for your loss. We want you to know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord God comfort you and give you peace at this most difficult time.

Love and God Bless,

I was shocked and saddened to receive the news of Buddy's passing. Buddy had such an infectious personality. When I remember high school and all the times we were together following high school, it always makes me smile. Buddy was one of those rare people who always made you feel good. He was one of the funniest people I have ever known. Although we have not been together often over the years, the world will not be quite as bright knowing he is no longer here. Wanda, Jean and I are sorry we cannot be at the service. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Love, Glenn and Jean Teague

Wanda & Jeremy, our hearts are with you now. We always loved Buddy's smile, hospitally, service & of course his BBQ cooking. I stilll have an 'Eat Shipp' shirt. (my mom didn't really like that shirt too much). He will be missed by all of us.
Jim, Debbie & family Mckissick

Wanda and Family,
Buddy will surely be missed as will his wonderful Bar-be-que. I was so impressed hearing Buddy speak at our Methodist Women's group and at Somerville Historical Society. We vowed if we ever had the chance to hear him again we would be there. Unfortunately, that is not to be. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Wanda I was so upset of hearing Buddies passing.I think it was Buddy who made my schooling turn more positive.We had so much fun with him along. Know that you and your family are in our prayers.
In Christian love,
Jim and Melissa Phillips
