Robert Kipp

I am sorry for your loss. Bob was an outstanding individual who led a full and fulfilling life and I was glad to have known him in his younger days. Bob was my classmate at the Kucimat program at KU.

Steve & Kipp family We are sorry to hear of your loss...what an outstanding Father you were blessed to have in your life.

Debbie and family , so sorry to hear of his passing . You will be in my prayers.

Mr. Kipp was always a positive beacon in my life. He had the ability to help you feel like you could accomplish anything you put your mind to. I hope he is listening to a favorite classical album with a batch of Kipp´s Kremy Karamels by his side. Thank you for your friendship Mr. Kipp and Kipp family.

Mr. Kipp influenced many in his awesome career. I app his imprint in my career.
