Kip you started a conversation with me in a bookstore in Deptford NJ almost 30 years ago.We left the store and went to get some food,we keep talking until a few weeks ago.Your time on earth ended a few weeks ago but I’m still talking to you Kip except now I get to talk and you listen.I will keep my promise from 4 years ago to be with you at your Funeral Mass and at your grave site to say goodbye.I will carry you in my heart until we meet again ( you still owe me that steak dinner ) so I’ll be looking for you someday in the future 😂. You sure were a tough man to be as successful yet carry the heavy cross of being a victim of polio . Love you my friend ❤️🙏
Kip was in my exercise class and was quite a jokester. He will truly be missed.
