My deepest sympathy to you. My husband Chuck worked with Chip and we also had the pleasure of bowling with him. A very fun and loving man. Sorry I missed the service.

I had the pleasure of being one of Chips nurses, during my time working in Zeeland. He always made me smile and laugh, and was always friendly and positive. He was the kind of guy you wished all your patients were like, and I always enjoyed our conversations. Chip was one of the realest people I've ever met and I'll never forget him. He will be greatly missed. My Deepest condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time. RIP Chipster.
