Kippy was a father who loved his children. He was a loving son, a caring brother, a cherished grandson, a fun uncle, and a loyal friend. He had a big heart and a joyful spirit that could light up any room. Kippy’s sense of humor, warmth, and unwavering love for his family were the hallmarks of his life. Kippy’s passion led him to be a talented writer. He loved poetry and music. Fishing was also a passion.  Kip was a dreamer and a doer; he could take apart and put together anything, learn any skill, and master it. His love for sports, particularly "The Birds" is where he enjoyed countless hours of cheering on his home teams. Football being his passion.
