I was so sorry to hear about Chip.
Although I had not seen him in years

doing.
Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Your Cousin,
Laura ♥️

Dear Pam, Chris and Justin,

Please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Chip, was our oldest male cousin and I will always cherish the memories of his “ginger” hair, star quarterback of VBHS, FL State, and lots of family gatherings at Pop and Grandmother’s. RIP Chip!

Very sad news indeed! My prayers go out to his family. Chip was an exceptional leader in athletics while at Vero Beach high School. He quarterbacked the undefeated Indians his senior year. His confidence was very contagious to the rest of the team and was one of the driving forces in our quest to be undefeated. RIP Chip.

We in South Lake Tahoe knew him as “Chipper” He was quite the celebrity in Tahoe. We actually have a drink named after him called the Chip Shot. Tuaca & Baileys with a splash of Coffee. We were at a bartenders contest at the Tahoe Seasons bar and we got kicked out for dancing on the bar. Many many great memories were had with him. I was a Bartender at Carlos Murphy’s for 20 years and Chip and I had some great times together. In fact, I don’t believe the statute of limitations has gone from them yet. So here is to all the great memories we had and can never talk about.

  • The service from Millennium was outstanding. Rachel was sweet, personable and very comforting. It was important to me that my dad was kept locally where I knew where he would be. Very nice facility, state of the art and quality of my fathers remains were so refined compared to my mothers years ago. I highly recommend this place for an affordable choice for your loved one. Thank you for making an already stressful event easy. With high regards, the Esposito and Keith Family.

  • Millennium Cremation provided a fantastic service to our family at a difficult time. Our beloved mother passed away in Vero Beach and the rest of the family was in other parts of the country. Due to the Covid health crisis, none of us could get to Vero Beach in person. That's where Millennium took over. They helped us manage everything, coordinated with a cemetery in Maine, managed the obituaries, expedited all the paperwork, and even delivered an important document locally that saved us days. Funeral director Rachel was a godsend, and she made it clear what she was going to do, and what we needed to do. If you know what you want, Millennium is highly recommended, and the savings versus the full service mortuaries is significant.
