Dear Laura Lee,
I worked with Kip in many capacities over the 25 years I knew him, mostly as an M&R guy at Maersk.
Words are not enough to describe what Kip meant to so many lives that he touched. I feel fortunate to have known him and will always remember him as an inspiration.

Dear Laura Lee,
I was so sorry to hear about Kip. I have the fondest memories of him during our days at Maersk in downtown Norfolk. He was just one of those people you could feel at ease with talking about almost anything. I was unable to be there today but my heart sends out prayers for you and your daughters. I will miss you Kip. Sincerely, Robin Hudgins Horne, Va. Beach, VA

I knew Kip while working at Maersk in Canada. Kip was a true gentleman, a great source and wealth of information, and never have I gone in vain to seek Kip's advice or assistance, which was always given without hesitation, and you came to help us here when we needed it for which we are grateful.
My thoughts are with you and my memories of you (and your family who I never met). Sincerely and in sympathy with Kip's family,

I had the pleasure of working with Kip during my time with Maersk. He was always willing to help, and find a soultion that kept the customer and company in mind. My thoughts are with his family.

Kip was a great person, a true gentleman, a source of knowledge, and a generally nice guy. I dealt with him over many years, mostly by phone, and alway came away with good answers, solutions or action plans. Calling Kip was always a win/win option and a pleasure. Seeing/visiting him in person was even better and more pleasant. Roni also recalls his visits to Peru and Brazil with fond memories of a very nice guy who came to help and did so!
I honor his memory. Best wishes to...
