Great family friend

~Shared by Jennifer Matthew-Baldwin~

Chip grew up around the corner from us – he was my brother’s best friend.  As kids, they would camp out in our back yard, make breakfast over the “campfire,” and they messed around with photography together.  My mom and dad even “hired” Chip to take photos for the football program at the high school.  His photography roots run deep, as does his connection to our family.  Chip always made a point to stay in touch with the family over the years, despite the fact that his grade-school buddy was no longer with us – and that has meant so much to us.  He was a good, kind and thoughtful man and we will miss him deeply.  The Matthew family sends their condolences to the entire Hooper family.
