A BlueChip Tribute to Herbert Scott Fritts

A BlueChip Tribute to Herbert Scott Fritts – February 22, 1956 to August 20, 2025

There would be no BlueChip without Scott Fritts.

His reputation as a professional and person of the highest quality was instrumental in attracting the interest of our underwriting partners when we launched BlueChip in late 2016.

The name BlueChip was chosen following a comment made by a former colleague, who referred to Scott as “a blue-chip professional”, recognizing Scott for the consistent, reliable, and trustworthy person he was.

Scott brought leadership in the early years of BlueChip through his knowledge, humor, and the strength of the advice he would provide to our BlueChip team on the importance of building positive relationships with all our trading partners. He was a people person and made every meeting better simply by his presence. Everyone loved Scott.

Later, Scott inspired us with his courage, grace, and humility. He never complained. He constantly reminded us of the importance of finding hope and the positive in all our lives. His devotion to his family was inspiring and set an example for the “family first” principle at BlueChip.

BlueChip meant a great deal to Scott. He meant even more to the BlueChip team.

Scott was the best.
