Kip was a true friend to me. As my career grew and I eventually owned my own company, I could always count on Kip to listen to my questions and offer me sound advice. In the crazy times that we're going through, I had to close the company and miss Kip's friendship even more. I'm sure that he's playing a lot of golf in heaven.....

I lost my Ohio golf partner when we got together in Wooster after he retired.
Kip hired me at Shiloh/Wellington in 2000. He was a consummate gentleman.

I just learned of Kip's passing yesterday from a mutual friend, wish I had known at the time so that I could have attended the funeral.
My condolences to the Sweeney family, I've been Kip's friend for about 20 years and will miss him. I'm sure that Kip is with our Lord and we'll meet again for an eternal reunion.

Truly a man of honor, friendship, and blessings. Definitely a man of compassion and empathy. Kip was vital to my life and it´s many trials and tribulations.
Along with his brother in law Thom, I really couldn´t be blessed with a better twosome to spend time with, golf course as a sanctuary.
The world and many loved ones lost a great man. I´ll always miss my friend and reference of character who truly made a difference in someone´s life along with their family. I love ya Kip! Always in our thoughts and prayers. Blessings to your entire family and our prayers and mercy to them.
