Kip would visit his daughters out in Kansas, on his way back to Phoenix he would stop at my shop in Colorado and spend a few days, this was always my oppurtunity to discuss my car setup with him, Kip and Harold Bettes would talk for hours about the old days while I would work, those lunches were always filled with tech talk

those I will miss, at night he would always go out to dinner with my family, and my family was very close to him. I remember one day we drove up to Denver to buy a 454 core, always Kip the gentlemen engaged in a conversation with the seller, and for you guys that never met Kip, he was a very likeable, the kind of person you liked having around!
