Kip and I recently reconnected as members of the same church. He was just as nice a person at 71 as he was in high school. You will be missed, Kip.

So very, very sorry to learn of Kip's passing. We kept in touch after graduation, but hadn't talked in a while.

In high school, he was the kindest and sweetest young man and pretty shy.

May God keep Kip's family in His loving arms and I pray that all the good memories over the years will give you the best comfort on this painful journey.

Goodbye, Kip. You'll not be forgotten, my friend.
