  1. We sure will miss Kip. Great man with a great heart! He will be greatly missed here on Rutgers Street.

  2. 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 ❤️🙏

  3. Kip was a kind and generous man, who always had a smile and a howdy. Though it’s been many years since we’ve seen Kip, we have wonderful memories of talking and laughing together, especially over meals. May Kip rest in eternal peace and his memory forever be a blessing to those who knew and loved him ✝️🙏❤️
