Chip was a wonderful friend and advisor. He was very appreciated and loved by the sisters of Mount Saint Mary's Abbey. We will miss his cheerful and generous personality. He and his family will be remembered by the sisters in their prayers. May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear about Chip's passing. I worked with Chip at Hyde Athletic Industries in the late 80s and early 90s. He worked in the cubicle next to mine and forever had me laughing. He was so incredibly good at what he did.... and that was selling a ton of running shoes LOL! He was always there to help me with any questions I had and made work light hearted. This world was a better place because of him and he will be greatly missed.
