Dear Lucinda,
I have just heard about Kip. What a wonderful man he was and provided me with such good advice and compassion when I needed it. I am deeply sorry.

Dear Lucinda & family:
I´m so sorry to hear of Kip´s passing. He will be missed.
I have fond memories of the summer of 1996, where our CFP study group met with Kip once a week to prepare for our Law exam. We had a great time discussing contracts, torts and breaches.
Kip was always willing to lend a hand and was a great member of every community he was a part of.
Sincerely,
Catherine Laird

Dear Lucinda and Family, We were so very sorry to hear of Kip's passing. We have been thinking of you, and the time we spent over dinner in Zihua. You and Kip were always lovely neighbors (both in business & home) to Lynnie and Dave, and still are Lucinda. Kip was very well regarded in law and by many in my field too. Sending our love and sincerest sympathies.

Condolences to all of Kip's family. He will be sadly missed. Kip handled many of the Fox Family legal matters but beyond that he was a friend. I will miss the warmth that he always shared whenever I had the pleasure of seeing him.

And I am Kip and Lucinda's neighbour on the other side. I didn't know Kip well; but, like Lynnie and Dave, also regarded him as a perfect neighbour - friendly, funny, amiable and talented (I was envious of his several carvings!). I will miss our animated chats over the fence -- farewell to a lovely person!

We send our sincere condolences to all the family of Kip.
He was a pillar of hope and strength in the community. One could always rely on Kip to show up and lead or help out in the name of the cause we would be working on. Shriners Soccer for kids, being one of them.

We are shocked and saddened to hear this news. So soon after a well deserved retirement. Kip was a kind and scrupulously fair man, and a great personal lawyer. He loved his dogs, and introduced me to my favorite dog walking trail. Our sincere condolences to his family (and his dog).

My warmest wishes to Mr. Wilson's family and closest friends. I had the opportunity to learn and work with Mr. Wilson as one of his legal assistants. He was a warm kind man who always treated my children and myself like family.

Kip will be sorely missed, not only by his family, but by his brethren in the Masonic community. A tireless worker, especially when it came to the food. He could always be seen at the BBQ, and in the kitchen flipping the pancakes. He was a valued member of the Masonic fraternity and we'll miss his wise counsel, excellent delivery of the memory work and his overall organizational skills. Our thoughts go out to Lucinda particularly at this very sad and difficult time. Rest in Peace, brother!
