I am very sad to hear about Chip. He was a kind heart and loved to talk about sporrts. I will miss seeing him and discussing all sorts of sports with him. I known he is looking down on us and has the best seats in the house. God bless you and your family.

I was floored when I got the call that Chip had died. As I had just spoke to him the night before. I will miss Chip. I will never forget the knowledge he had about the braves and wrestling. Chip was an unbelievable guy and changed your life the second you met him. See you on the other side chip
