November 28, 2025 at 7:05 pmRebecca, we were so shocked and saddened with Peter’s passing. He had only recently become our trusted and go to plumber over the last few years for our shared well in Red Bay. I thoroughly enjoyed all our interactions as we shared many jokes together. He will surely be missed by so many in this community.

December 8, 2025 at 11:01 pmOur family came to know Chip during summers spent at Evergreen. Chip was gifted at connecting with people and making you feel welcome and included! He was warm and friendly and always had an interesting story and a fun joke to tell. I met him as a child and grew up looking forward to seeing him at Evergreen each summer. He always made time to chat and cared to ask how you were doing and what was new with you. He made you feel special!
We send our deepest condolences to Becky and Vanessa and the family.
May he rest in peace.
Chip will be lovingly remembered and missed dearly.
Jimmy, Libby, Valerie, Jim
