I met Kipp at Spokane Falls Comm.College, in 1971, in Art class. Along with his best friend Gary Wilson, ( who was a great artist and sign painter as well) . We were the three amgio's. Kipp was and will always be in my mind the most careing and gentle person ever. I am sure he has his wings and will be ever a pure Spirit. I am so blessed to have talked with him many times before his death. I,ll see you some day "old buddy"...Truly Harold B Hensley

Let it be known- that Kipp not only was a good person.... but a great friend. Few have had the talent Kipp possessed , Taking a picture in time and making it come to life by the power in his hands. Kipp will be missed. My deepest sympathy and condolences to Kipps family and friends. May his "pictures in time" lighten your hearts as they do for me every time I view them. Peace!!
