We lost a loving husband and father, wonderful big brother and uncle, and thoughtful and true friend. Born to Royce and Claire Stimpson, Chip was a decorated US Air Force veteran of the Vietnam War. He is survived by his wife, Tracy, daughters Tanya Gath and Kyle Barre, and son Richard David Herrera. Preceded in death by his parents and sons Danny and Tommy, he leaves behind brothers, Ken, David (wife Kim), Mark, Bruce (wife Christy) and nieces and nephews, Terence, Brandon, Riley, Morgan, Meghan, Keri and Amanda, and numerous grand children and grand nieces and nephews. He was loved and respected by his in-laws, Owen and Pat Kruger.
