Bruce ‘Chip’ Creswell

Bruce A. “Chip” Creswell Jr., 57, of Hopkinton passed away unexpectedly on July 4. Born in Framingham, he was the son of the late Shirley (Swain) and Bruce A. Creswell Sr., and brother to the late Karen Sherman. He was the husband of 26 years to Kerry (Lumbra) Creswell of Hopkinton.

Chip is survived not only by his wife, Kerry, but their daughters, Kate-Lee Pytka (Shane Pytka) and Brenna Creswell; his granddaughters, Harper Reyes and Raelyn Pytka; as well as his uncle, cousins, nieces and nephews.

Chip was fond of NASCAR, having visited Talladega with his wife. Together they enjoyed going to Worcester Railers hockey games, visits to the Cape with their girls, and cooking for the family. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed fishing and going to the firing range.

Visitation will be held Monday, July 10, from 4-8 p.m. at the Chesmore Funeral Home of Hopkinton, 57 Hayden Rowe Street. A private burial will be held with family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of one’s choice.
