Aunt Joan & Kipp Family
Tom called me and told me the sad news about Uncle Jack. I will be praying for you as you deal with the grief of his death. I'm sure you will all miss him dearly. Aunt Joan, I still fondly remember how welcome you made me feel when Tom and I first married and I will never forget going with you to On Golden Pond - my luck that Uncle Jack didn't like going to movies (smile). Blessings to you! Love Pam Vernace Strening

I'll be praying for John and his entire family...praying especially that John can now rest with the Lord after having worked so generously helping family and friends that remain with us here. Having known Bill (John's son) for years, I know that John has been a generous and loving father.

I was saddened to hear of Jack's passing,he was one of the finest people
to have worked on LaSalle St..
I was fortunate to have known Jack
from the late 50's,and worked with him
at Ralph W. Davis & Co.during the 70's.
My condolence's to the Kipp Family,
my prayer's are with you.

Our condolences, thoughts, and prayers are with you all during this time. When picking up Mike or playing Whiffle Ball in the backyard, Mr. Kipp was always kind and thoughtful. He raised a wonderful family.

Julie, I saw the news about the passing of your father and was very saddened. Best wishes to you and all of your family. I will keep you in my prayers.

The news of Jack's passing was sad for me.
I worked with Jack on the Midwest Stock Exchange for many years and at Becker Securities in the late 1970's.
It would not be an overstatement to say that he had an important impact on my life in terms of the way I approach problems and challenges. I asked his advice on many occasions and on different topics, many unrelated to our business. I always valued his opinion and the sense of humor with which he gave it.
The most important thing I learned from him was how to keep things in the proper perspective. The lesson has served me well in the decades since I have last seen him.
God bless Jack and his family as they grieve his passing.

Dear Kipp Family,

Our condolences, prayers and good thoughts go out to you.

I often talked with your father, watching a Cubs game in the kitchen, while waiting for Mike during our high school years. He was always kind, thoughtful, and an unbelievable baseball historian. The thought that resonates most for me is that he raised a fantastic family - people with integrity, empathy and wisdom.

My family's thoughts are with you all.

Dear Kipp Family,
Please be assured of my prayers for all of you at this time. I remember your family from my time at St. Luke's when Michael was in third grade. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the wake or funeral, but will pray for you that God may give you comfort. God bless.

Dear Kipp Family

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. We hope you will take comfort in the fact that your Dad is in a peaceful place without pain or suffering and that he can look over all of his loved ones.

Dan, Carol, Casey and Maddie O'Connell
