Sending my deepest, heartfelt condolences to all of Chip’s family. I was extremely saddened to learn of his passing… I met him during study hall, back at Redbird Middle School. He sat at my table. He and I would “argue” about whether Hobbies or Prindles were better catamarans and he would do his best to ensure that I was not getting any studying done… he and I stayed in touch for the next 10 years. I was just recently thinking about him. He just popped into my mind… Perhaps it was just prior to him passing… It was very recent… So I was very surprised to then see his obituary posted on Facebook. He was much too young…Sending prayers to all who knew and loved him….
We send our deepest condolences to your family for the passing of Chip. We knew Chip from boating, we were dock neighbors at Geneva. We always enjoyed talking with Chip. He would share his love of sailboating and took us for rides on his sailboat. We were shocked and saddened when hearing about his passing. Sending prayers for your family.
