John Tipping II, 33, eventually followed his retired firefighter father into the FDNY, but not before he spent several years focusing more on skiing and snowboarding than on any career. That last winter, he also got his father back onto skis as they ran the Vermont slopes together. His mother wrote that “he was a carpenter, a cook and a ladies’ man.” He spent six years with Ladder 4.
I ran carrying FF John Tipping II LAD Photo on April 9, 2022 in the Tunnel to Tower Run in Ripley WV. The organization had photo badges of all those who lost their life and we could choose to run carrying badge. I randomly selected Firefighter John Tipping II. If a family member should see this. You may contact me thru my email and I will send you the photo badge. Thankful for his service to our country and I am so sorry for your loss.
