To The Ferrigno family and Kathy,
I was so saddened to hear of Chip's passing. Through the years I would hear of his many accomplishments and was so happy for him. My Dad (passed on now) used to love talking business with him and Joe K. at the beach. :)
Please know my heart and prayers are with you all. Chip was one of the kindest men I have ever met. I can only imagine what you must feel. Love and peace be with you.

Ferrigno Family, Kathy, although I did not live on Nichols Lane as I pass by your home I can still see your children out playing with Dean, Kelly & Cheryl. Although Cheryl has left us and I know Chip & Cheryl are catching up on old times. They both accomplish more in life then many of us will ever. I know all of Westerly is feeling your loss. Chip will be in our Prayers with some special friends.
I know all your former neighbors Art & Ang, Bob & Maureen Smith, Bert & Camille Larson are with you.

To the Ferrigno Family: I just learned of Chip's passing from my dear friend Heidi (Bavasso) Gilman, and was so deeply saddened for all of you. Kathy, as a mother now, I can only imagine your unspeakable grief. I did not have the pleasure of knowing his wife and children, but am so very sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest condolences. He was a very kind person. I knew him from his days guarding the beaches of Westerly. He always treated everybody so kindly - with a quiet respect. I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. Kindly, Holly (Victoria) Caldwell

To the Ferrigno's: I am very sorry to hear about "Chip". So many years pass by us, we move away, marry, have children of our own and somehow the people we grew up with fade into our memories. I was shocked to read of this news, still harboring the numbing thought of Charlies passing. I see that Chip really did alot with his life and I am sure you are all very proud of his accomplishments. Let your memories be fond and loving. I pray that God stay close to you all and that the soul of Chip succeeds in letting you all know, he is with you.

This saddens me greatly. I know we're getting older and losing a member fo the Class of 1977 will become more common as the years go by.
I will always remember Chip's eagerness, energy and smile.
It seems as though he made a great life for himself.
I'll pray for him and his family.
