It was such a pleasure being close neighbors to the Jardine family all their years in Orem. Kip was always an example of doing things the right way. Whenever one of my kids were washing the car, I would tell them to do a “Jardine Job” and show them how to do that. Our lives were influenced for good by living by Kip, Linda, and there wonderful sons.
I always loved Uncle Kip’s laugh & smile. He carried a happiness with him that was very Jardine. ❤️
