Chip, Jeff Davidson , and I were very close cousins. Although we grew up in different cities we shared many summer vacations on the beach in family cabins. As we aged ( 70 - 80) we enjoyed " Cousins Gone Wild" trips to San Diego and Aspen ( We were really not wild but it was fun to pretend that we were.) I will always remember the joy and wit of Chip and the great times we had.

I can’t remember exactly when I met Chip, but absolutely remember the instant care and affection he showed us as your friends, Jamie. Instantly curious about me, connected, and making me laugh.
What gift -to have had him as your Dad, Grandpa, husband and all of the other important roles he played. Sending my sincere condolences to you all.

I send my heartfelt condolences to all of you. I hope the time will come that this anguish of loosing Chip will be replaced by the warm happy memories of having such a special person in your lives.

Chip and I are first cousins who share the same birthday November 7th. There were years when our families would celebrate our birthdays together and I still can see the birthday cake with a line through the middle, half for Chip half for me.
Chip was my older cousin who was loved by everyone because of his warmth, humor and kindness.
I can only imagine the hole he leaves in his family because of the person he was. Who he was will live through his daughter and granddaughter because of all that they learned from him.
I can still hear his giggle in my head, those things last in the people who knew and loved him.

I loved his smile all the time, but especially around you and Presley ❤️
I could tell early on after meeting him for the first time... what, 25+ years ago?!? that you were the light of his life. You could just see it, in the way he looked at you.
I loved his story telling, he had some good ones!!! His laugh. They way he made me feel like family. 🥰
Your dad was one of a kind and so very special. I wanted you to know, he touched my heart ❤️

I am blessed to be his niece. My life was so enriched by his love and antics. But mostly his love. He was devoted beyond measure to his family and a steadfast partner to my Aunt Norva, his wife in such a way that two people truly became one. It's hard to think of her without him right by her side. He will be missed beyond measure by all who knew him. I am grateful for the memories.
