Most of all he was a great human being. To Kate, Tiyi, Annie, Colleen, Mimi, Dave, Tom, Kevin,Pat, and Pete, your loss is enormous and no amount of words can change that. Just know you have a guardian angel now watching your backs. I wish. I could be there for all of you and of course to Jackie. I love you all and my heartfelt sympathy is with you.

6. David was a great friend and legal counselor and I know he will be missed.
   May The Lord Bless him and his family.

7. So sorry I missed attending the services, I just learned of the sad news this evening. I have many great memories at the Schippers house in Northbrook.

   Thinking of everyone in the Schippers family today, sorry for your loss.

8. He was a man who truly made a difference and shared his experiences with genuine interest in being a part of something better. He contributed much to his community and beyond… through his children and his legal career. His commitment to character was evidenced by his working hard and achieving a balanced life. May all the children and grandchildren continue to honor his legacy and be comforted in your time of personal separation. God’s blessings.

9. I am very sorry I missed the services. I just heard. I met Dave through my father, Clarence years ago in the Schippers, Betar years. A man of faith, boundless energy and blessed with as keen a mind as I’ve ever encountered, he was truly kind and possessed a wonderful wit.

   Though I haven’t seen him in several years, just knowing I shared a planet with such a man gave me great comfort. I will miss him.

10. Our family just learned of the sad news, and we are praying for the Schippers family. My father, Jerry Gotsch, and Dave worked together on the Chicago Organized Crime Strike Force in the early 1960’s, and he said Dave was the best prosecutor with whom he ever worked. I visited and spoke with Dave on many occasions – most recently after my father’s passing. He was a man of great moral courage, soaring intellect, and unassailable integrity, which were demonstrated time and again during his prosecutorial service, his legal career, and his Congressional committee appointment. To paraphrase the psalmist, justice and righteousness were clearly the foundation of his character. As one of the last of his kind, he will be greatly missed! Our sympathies are with the entire Schippers family.

11. Jack and I send our condolences to Jackie and family. We are saddened by David’s passing and hope you know what a special man he was. He was courageous, honorable, and a man who was always in search of the truth. Thank you for sharing him with other like-minded seekers of truth and justice.
