To Chip's Family my sincere condolences. We have been friends since Coolidge High School and then he came to Boston and BU also. He had the biggest personality. Chip was definitely one of a kind. He has really gone too soon, but he has left a bright light in the heart of all who knew him. May his joyful spirit remain in the legacy he has left. Soar on my friend. Heaven has a special angel.

To the Ward Family; this comes as a shock. Have known Chip since Boy Scout days , growing up in NW and attending college in Beantown. Saw Chip so much in '700' I thought he was attending school at BU. Those were the days. His humour, prankster type sentiment and always being able to land back on his feet and 'reinvent himself' was a quality he had all his own. Will remember all the times we used to run into each other in Boston, NYC and DC...

Karen and family -- We are so very sorry for the loss of Chip - a 'hale fellow well met' if there ever was one. Warm, funny, savvy and with a twinkle in his eye he made even the most tedious "official event" fun and memorable. He was a GREAT guy who will be missed. We hope all of you find comfort in the wonderful memories you have of him. Liz & Gerry
