Chip attended Twenty-Nine Palms High School in Twenty-Nine Palms, CA, where he earned a full scholarship for swimming to the University of Utah.
Chip was predeceased by his loving wife of 35 years, Colleen Moore, with whom he raised three wonderful sons in beautiful southern California. Chip loved to cook, garden, and take care of his near-acre-sized property in Sylmar, CA.
Chip was a dedicated and hardworking elevator and escalator mechanic until Alzheimer’s made it too difficult to continue. He was well known for his expertise and served as a mentor to his peers as well as his sons Casey and Shane, who also worked in the field.
Chip was someone you could count on when you needed him. He will be dearly missed but not forgotten.
