Charles “Kip” Kippen
Bob and I were long-lost friends… We met in 1968 when I started working at the Hawaiian Air Overseas Department. Although Bob was eight years older he became an immediate - and very good - friend. After Bob married Judy we’d get together for dinner and BBQs - we even had our occasional foursome at Bayview Golf: Bob and Judy, Helene and myself. And of course, with the addition of kids there picnics and birthday parties… A lot of good times! We carpooled for a couple of years from Ewa Beach to the airport - along with our friend Lucky. Our move to the Bay Area reduced communication to Christmas cards. Despite the years of non-contact, memories of Bob’s friendship, decency and values remain strong. Aloha Bob… May you and Judy rest in peace. Our deepest condolences to Stephen, Dawn and Sean. … Kip and Helene Kippen
