To the Chapin Family,
I had worked with Chip when I was employed by Sordoni Construction, and we built a number of buildings together. Chip was a smart man who did indeed instill his family life values, even when at work. That alone gave me cause to admire him.
The Lord will see you through the difficult times of your loss, of this I am confident.

Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your husband, your father, and your grandfather.
I have fond memories of Mr. Chapin while growing up on Orchard Street. He never failed to say hello with a big smile, and ask how you were doing when we were passing your house.
May your memories bring you comfort during this most difficult time.
