My deepest sympathy for all of Chip's family, especially to Randy, Michael, and Tammy. Chip and I grew up as neighbors through early childhood until our early 20's when we took seperate paths in our lives. He was a year older than I and I always considered Chip as a brother and best friend. Although we did not keep in touch later in life, I would ocassionally get news on how he was doing and as I expected, it was he had a great family and suceesfull business life. If he was any way like his father Ray, which I'm sure he must have been, life was fun. Randy, Michael, and Tammy we have lost a brother and best friend. he will be mised dearly.

A toast to my old friend with whom I shared a birthday and who was the only witness to my one and only ever "hole in one". Was hoping to meet up again at the next Phi Psi reunion but it is not to be. My deepest sympathies to the family.

I worked for Mr. Laborde for about 5 years. He was always a calming influence when times were hard at Lamar especially during the hurricanes. He took care of his employees and was greatly admired. I am glad I knew him.
My heart goes out to his family.
