Sad to hear the news. Chip was one of the true gentlemen I knew. I first met Chip when I started at National Airport 38 years ago. My deepest condolences to Dorothy and the rest of his relatives.

I have been working for the Mudds for more than 2 years. Mr. Mudd always treated me like part of the family. Him and Dorothy would occasionally take my two kids and I out. On the Fourth of July, they took us to the Friendship Heights Community Center for hot dogs and popcorn. The kids really had a great time. I will always remember how much Mr. Mudd enjoyed ice cream after a meal and would invite me to join him. Mr. Mudd, you are much loved and will be missed dearly.

We have known Chip for the past 12 years and he has done so much not only as a friend but for the entire Friendship Heights community. It was just 6 months ago that he had our son Liam up in the air playing with him. He has lived a very full life and for that we are grateful. He will be missed.

Dear Dorothy and the Mudd family,
It has been a true blessing to know Chip. He always put a smile on my face, and was so very interested in the people around him.
With love and prayers for you all,
