We were shocked and saddened to hear of Kipp's passing. Although we did not know Kipp, Bill had told us about his son and that he was going to be playing at The Forth where our son worked. We hadn't realized that our son and Kipp knew one another. We went down to listen to him play. He was obviously a talented musician. We enjoyed the evening and his musicianship. It is such a terrible loss. Our condolences to the entire Kocay Family.
