Sherri,
My husband, Wade and I worked with Chip many years ago in Martin County. He was a wonderful person who will be greatly missed. One thing is for sure: he left a wonderful legacy with fire-rescue and he won't be forgotten. All of us who worked with him knew that he loved you very much. May God give you and your children peace and comfort during this difficult time.
