Charles N. (Kip) Snow, age 88, formerly of Eastham, MA, passed-away on September 16, 2020 after suffering a stroke the previous day. Born to Mildred and Joseph Snow in Middleboro, MA on May 6, 1932, he grew up in Edgewood, RI. Kip attended Proctor Academy in Andover, NH where he developed a love for skiing, and he graduated from Wesleyan University with a BA in 1955. Kip spent his working years at MassMutual in Springfield, MA, and then National Life of Vermont in Montpelier, VT, managing life and disability claims. He served as President of both the New England Claim Association and the International Claim Association.
