I want the family of Trooper Mickey Lippy to know I share their grief and pain. He was on a mission of mercy and it is hard to understand why this happened to him. My grandson Christopher Nicholson Police officer at Smithsburg MD ambushed and shot to death /dec 19,2007 & was buried Christmas eve. he was 25 and had many wonderful plans for his life ahead of him. I am still devestated. I pray for your family & grieve with you

Mickey we first met and worked together at OCV (it seems like so long ago now). You taught me and others so much about being a caring and compassionate EMT. You left and went thru AACO with my husband and worked side by side on the same shift with him until you were ready to spread your wings and fly. The pride you had each day in your work was admired by many. The lives you saved and people you touched can never be measured. When we called in to find out who was on trooper 2 that night, it was a shocking pain to hear your name. I know that you are in heaven watching down on your girls and you will always be their angel. I pray for your family and know that your little one will grow up knowing how wonderful a man her daddy was. C~if you need anything please do not hesitate to contact any of us. You are always a part of the "brotherhood" not just through your services, but through Mickey's as well. I know the Marley crew that Mickey was assigned to will always be there if you should need any of them, or the wives. May GOD watch over all of you. Mickey may have flown to heaven, but is always in your heart!

Dear Christine,

There is nothing that will take your unbearing pain away at this time.As the next few days whirl around you and the reality sets in;I hope and pray that you are surrounded for many years with the brotherhood that Mickey shared with so many.I know that Madison will know her father through the many reflections your friends,family and community will share with her as she gets older."Lippy" was a pass it on person.He lived by example;he treated others as he would want to be treated;he was a mentor to many because he did live by example...it really is how you live..how people see you...it makes an impression,even if just by a minute or an hour..how you hold yourself,what you say,and how you treat others.Just in the few times I observed you on a call or out in the community you unknowingly influenced others to be just like you ...I know my son who was not a sweet innocent teenager is working towards being.."Just Like You"
Rest in peace your family and friends will take it from here.

Knowing every time you make that crucial fall.
That he will come when you call.
To come and pick you up.
Or talk you out of that treacherous jump.

Whether the roads are slippery and wet.
He would still come not knowing if you’ve met
Even if Mother Nature sweeps away the trees.
He’ll be flying down that highway like a breeze.

Trooper, Trooper you are the best
Coming far from close to all the rest.
Your life’s the dream I want to come true.
Hopefully one day it will come too.

When and how it comes to the end.
The Trooper will be there standing tall again.
It’s not easy being the best.
That’s why seconds are for all the rest.

My heart is heavy for your wife and child. My oldest daughter was 3yr and my baby was 2mo when MCPD Mark Filer died in a horrific accident in his cruiser. If not for medavace I would not have had the chance to say goodbye. Your dedication is very special to me. In 1997 I almost died from a motorcycle accident when they came to my rescue to Baltimore Shock Trauma - I lived, only because we have men and women who will go above and beyond to save the lives of others. My daughters could have been orphand that day, but now we are heathy together because of what you do.

High Flight, by John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds -- and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of -- wheeled and soared and
swung High in the sunlit silence.

Hov'ring there,


I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark,
or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,


Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
*******
Trooper,

Know, that you will live forever, in the hearts and minds of those you protected, and gave a second chance to.

Thank You.
