Such sad news. I partnered with Chip, Len Riley and Gregory Hall for a large strategic engagement during our time at CVS Caremark. Chip was such an amazing soul and I remember how well he orchestrated a complex contract negotiation process. Few years later, Chip and I bumped into each other at NRF when he was at Lowe's. He was beaming with a big smile and hugged me after a warm handshake. I am sure he leaves lot of good memories within his family, friends and colleagues. Rest in peace, Chip! 🙏
Devastating to hear. Chip was a one of a kind leader and I cherish the time I had working for him and getting to know him. He will be missed.
This is a beautiful tribute for a great guy who will be missed tremendously. I worked for Chip during his time at CVS Health. Not only was he a mentor, he was a friend. Chip, Len and I had a lot of laughs together. I connected with him in March and happy we were able to catch up. Sending my condolences as my heart breaks for his family, friends, and colleagues.
Very sorry to learn about this. I met Chip many years ago, and remember him as a tough but fair professional. So sorry for his family and friends. Deepest sympathies to everyone.
I worked with Chip at CVS Health. He was a good man and a pleasure to work with. I wish his family peace during this difficult time.
Chip was a professional with a desire to help his clients. It was a pleasure to have known and worked with Chip. May he rest in peace. Sending heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
I am devestated to hear this sad news. Chip (and Greg Hall) took a chance on me when I first moved to the US and both were so supportive as I navigated corporate life in the US. He was encouraging and kind and a great leader. My thoughts go out to his family at this saddest of times.
So sad...I knew Chip years ago and he was such an amazing person. My heart goes out to his family.
So sorry to hear this, my sympathies for the UE team.

To Len, and to Greg whom I had the pleasure to work closely with at CVS with Chip I’m so sorry for your loss. Chip was awesome and to the whole Upper Edge family I am so sorry for your loss.
