Chip was a role model for all who aspire to be their best selves. He was an intellectual giant, an intuitive visionary, a kind and gentle friend. I was fortunate to share time and space with Chip and Kim as part of an ongoing discussion group about what would make the world better for everyone. His presence did. His candle still burns.

I knew Chip through the Labor Reading Group that meets monthly for breakfast in Raleigh. His contributions were always insightful. I enjoyed knowing him and will miss him greatly, though somehow I believe his presence will be with us for a long time to come.
