I remember the Vic from our school days as a good student, determined, and a good conversationalist. His energy level was always high. I enjoyed our conversations. My condolences to his family.

Robert and I first met Chip and Debi on a bus tour around Italy in 2019. We had so much fun with them that we stayed in touch and have remained friends. Chip created a fabulous book of beautiful photos he took on the tour and most of us purchased a copy. We have visited them at their lovely home and they took us on a great tour of the Gatlinburg area. We are so very sorry to hear of Chip´s death. We will certainly miss Chip. Our love and prayers are with you Debi at this most difficult time.
