Painting Legion Passed Away, Kip Pentico

[Cal]

Legion in the painting industry, and Dear Friend passed away last week. Kip Pentico who worked at Lucas Paint in Denver several years before opening his own shop at Front Range Airless, repairing all types of airless spray rigs passed away last week. Had been really sick for last several months, shutting down Front Range Airless back in Feb/March. Went to his Memorial yesterday at 1:30. Knew Kip last 10-15 years, and was a Great person, always willing to help anyone.

A painting legion, in that when you took an airless spray rig in for repair, no matter how caked with paint it had, when you got it back, even getting a repacking kit reinstalled, rig looked Brand New. Kip took his knowledge of Airless spray rigs seriously, a trait almost forgotten.

He will be missed by many, I pray for his family and other friends.
