About D.C Stipp
After completing his studies at U.T.A. (where he was lucky enough to have Jack Summerford as an instructor), D.C. Stipp worked spent most of his career at RBMM, and was a partner there at the time of his death. He was a true professional who was dedicated to his work and the clients he served. Any paper reps or printers with whom he worked will tell you that D.C. was a perfectionist, and he worked tirelessly to do the best job he could – so it’s no surprise that his work was recognized both nationally and internationally. D.C. Stipp was dedicated to his family and always carried himself with the utmost class and respect for friends and colleagues.

During one busy annual report season he came down with a virus and reluctantly took a few days off. Once he felt good enough, though, he was anxious to return to work. Unfortunately, the virus was not done and it developed into an internal viral infection that would eventually take his life.

Anyone who knew D.C. was aware of his love for the game of golf. He would take a vacation every year just so he could attend the Colonial in Ft. Worth (his favorite golf course). If you were fortunate enough to see him play golf, you were exposed to a precision machine and saw a man truly doing something he loved.
