Chip helped on many of the houses we built. He wasn’t a subcontractor to us, he was a trusted friend that was always willing to help, listen, and share so many interesting stories. His intelligence and experiences were a welcome interlude to the trials and tribulations of everyday life. His passing is a shock, and we wish his extended family well.
I am so in shocked you left us way too early. We have suffered a great loss. But heaven has gained a great angel. I will miss you Chip
Our Condolences for your loss.
