Dear Melanie and family,
Sending sympathies and prayers for comfort. Chip is “absent from the body, but present with the LORD…” (2 Cor. 5:8)
I’m so sorry to hear about this. Chip was my manager at Wildwood when I was a bartender years ago. Chip had a great sense of humor and loved his family. He was a good person and I’m sorry for your loss.
Melanie, I am praying for you and your family that God will comfort you in his loving embrace.
Mel, I’m so sorry for your loss and pain. I haven’t seen you since high school but I’ve enjoyed seeing your posts over the years on Facebook. You have a wonderful passion for your family, your career, and your furbaby. Stay strong and lean on your family and friends when you need to.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My deepest condolences to you all, Melanie, Krystina and Anthony. May his memory be a blessing.
I am so sad to see that Chip has passed. He was my boss when I worked at Wildwood. I had great respect for him. He definitely could make me laugh. I loved when Chip and Walter (Chip’s long time co worker ) would tell stories of their bar shift antics from earlier years. One of the stories was about how Chip meet his wife (Mel). It was quite a love story. My heart breaks for his family. Saying prayers for everyone.
It was pleasure for me Peter, Deborah Chloe & Dylan to know Chip from time we all met in Mexico in 2008, since then we have created some lovely fund memories when visiting from UK, we had great happy times, we will miss sitting out the porch with you, you will be sadly missed by all of us RIP & god bless Deborah, Peter, Chloe & Dylan.
