Adam & Family~ We’re so sorry for the loss of your father. Maggie Cortese & Family
Adam and family, My thought and prayers are with you at this sad time.
I am so sorry for your loss. I was in Luther League with Chip at Bethesda and we always had good times. I was on this site for Fred Neumann and scrolled down and saw Chip’s photo.
My deepest condolences to the Goto family. Arthur was in my graduating class at Hamden High. May he RIP. He was such a nice person.
Rachelle: Sorry to hear of his passing. Hope you, Sarah and Adam are ‘ok’.
Sorry for your loss.Always had fond memories of Chip in our confirmation class at Bethesda.
Your family and Chip are in my thoughts and prayers. I only heard of his passing after the fact from my mother. I have fond memories from Bethesda and of Troop 42 BSA. Sincerely- Paul Ljunggren
