Chip was not one sit around. He enjoyed time spent in the woods, his cabin, hunting, fishing, reading, sitting around a good campfire and “fiddle farting” around his home. His most memorable times were spent with his family and the big game hunts out west with his son William. He was a loyal member of the Loyal Order of the Moose 171, Milton, Pa.
His entire family has many memories of a strong leader who guided his family with strength, kindness and a loving heart. He will be deeply missed by all.
“You were a big bear that protected anyone you cared about, yet loved unconditionally. You always gave your true self, whether or not people wanted to hear it. You always spoke the truth. You will be missed, but your strengths and stubbornness run deep in all of us.”~Travis
The family is planning a Celebration of Life which will be held at a later date. Memorial contributions in Chip’s name may be made to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society or the American Cancer Society.
