I worked with Dave back in the 70s and 80s at Foote, Cone & Belding. He was a real talent, and more important, a genuine and good man with an always-ready smile and a kind word. Not what you expected in advertising people. My condolences to the family.

No one could turn a phrase better than Dave...I remember him from FCB and as a free lancer. God bless, Dave.

Dave encouraged me to enter our Northwestern Program, and we had stayed in touch through social media. Dave Shipley taught copywriting. He was smart and funny. I learned a lot from him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Dave worked at Leo Burnett, the ad agency known for the creation of characters to build brands...such as Tony the Tiger. For one of my creative projects, I created Cecilia and Charlie Crocodile who danced around to Elton John's hit, Crocodile Rock.
Nancy Wishmeier Dave was encouraging and positive, but it became real clear that my skills did not include character development and copywriting!

Dave was one of my first bosses at FCB. Funny and fun. Smart with an amazing knowledge of music. I do believe he was the one who had to tell me that I wouldn't be going on the shoot for my first ever commercial. The "celeb's" wife didn't women on the set. He broke it gently and then made sure I was front and center on the next shoot. One of the last of the great nice guys in ad world.
