While my history with Chip does not extend as far back as many.I will also miss his messages and his way about how he conducted himself. when my dad died he offered to help me with his coin collection in any way he could. I even meet another collector through Chip. Tom Kendall..... Who I beat out by a few ticks of the clock on a very late Alcoso navy. Chip gave me his contact info and I have considered Tom to be one of the few nice guys I have meet via the internet. Over the years Chip would always help me out when he could. After he moved he even cut me some good deals on hang tags for my collection. I think we have all lost a good fellow here. Sure those who knew him will have an empty space. Bret Van Sant
