We have fond memories of Chip as a wonderful friend & neighbor. He was always willing to feed our pets when we travelled. Chip’s sense of humor made hanging out on his back porch with him & Ellen a memorable experience. And he was the only person we know who made his own bullets. We are so glad that we knew him and sad to hear of his passing.
Chip was a great next-door neighbor! We had tons of fun climbing his tree, jumping off of our bluff into the safety (?)
net of vines and vegetation, taking turns on the rope swing down the street. We even took lessons long enough to tap dance in a recital together! I missed Chip a lot when his family moved, he was a wonderful childhood friend.
Memories will keep Chip close to your heart .
So very sorry for your loss Ellen and Michael.
