Congrats to Tim Shipe — Retiring

[Bill Pritchard]

Hopefully Tim is on the distribution list.  A birdie told me that he is retiring June 30.

Tim, congratulations and many thanks for all the great work you did here before leaving us for Outback Power.  Tim was at Western Gear before coming to HP Lake Stevens in the mid-to late 1980's(?).  Western Gear shut down after he left, and the same happened to our mechanical testing lab in Everett.  I hope Outback doesn't suffer the same fate.  

Seriously, best wishes on the next chapter.  Job well done good sir.

So my emails this morning start with a bunch of ‘Congratulations Tim’ messages (and because who reads the subject line early in the morning) I think what have I done now…

 

Now you’ll find out what it’s like to never have enough time :-)

 

Damn right.  Been retired for 6 years now and still digging out from under the honey-do list.

 

Congratulations Mr. Shipe.  All the best.  Now you’ll get to really use that Little Giant ladder.

Congrats, Tim!  And many thanks for all the help you gave my projects over the years.  Hope you have a blast doing all those things you'll now find, as Fred says, you don't have enough time for.

Cheers,

[Tim Shipe]

Wow!  Thanks for the nice words and good wishes, everyone!  I have a lot of great memories from those days when we all worked together.  A bunch of crazy twenty- and thirty-somethings having a blast doing cool techie stuff.  Somehow, suddenly, we're all senior citizens - how did that happen?

I'm looking forward to the next phase, as many of you have stated.

Tim

Tim,

Congratulations! I think retirement is largely what you make of it, so go for it, whatever that means to you!

Congratulations, Tim! Hope to catch you on our list if you're not out traveling like me. You were the consummate engineer. Thorough, analytical, detailed and well documented. I would have picked you for a team for any project. Enjoy your time in new ways now.

Hey Tim,

Now it is time to enjoy the good life.  Hope you have lots of plans for trips and hobbies and not too long of a “honey-do” list.  :)
