He was born in Washington, D.C. on November 04 1944, to Frank and Lorraine Horwath. Chip lived in Japan and Greece during his father's military assignments but he grew up in Springfield, Virginia. He attended Virginia Tech before serving in the army where he was stationed at Fort Belvoir. The skills he learned at VT and in the Army provided him a career with engineering firms in D.C., Virginia, and Atlanta. For over 30 years he worked at B&A designing the HVAC systems for commercial buildings throughout the southeast.
Throughout his life he contributed to his community serving in leadership and volunteer positions ranging from the neighborhood civic association, the Atlanta Tennis and Lawn Association and coaching Little League teams, local youth soccer, hockey and basketball teams.
