I remember going to see Pip play with his band when we were both young. I can still hear him singing Wild Fire. I will miss you Pippy. I will also miss our lengthy conversations at family functions. (Just kidding Pip). May you rest in peace with my lovely sister Sylvia. Love and miss you always.

All Brothers who were priveledged to sit and travel with this wonderful man were personally gifted by him and reminded of what is good about us as a Fraternity and a nation. He and his dear Sylvia were treasured friends, and the passage of time will not erase their memories and the affection we shared fondly through so many good times.

An Uncle I can never forget. He was a man of few words unless it was about a subject that interested him. I remember going to see him play in the band. I remember his love of his Harley motorcycle.Rest in Peace my wonderful hip Uncle Pip.
