Harry and I are sadden to hear of the death of your beloved Skip. You and your family are in our prayers. God bless each one of you.
Janice and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May God wrap his loving arms around you and your family.
I know of no other man who has had the Christian influence on as many young people as my friend Skip. Janice, Denise, Tim and your families, Sandra and I want you to know we love you and pray God’s great arms of comfort wrap you up tightly. The best I can count we went with Skip and Janice on about 25 annual youth beach retreat and countless young people accepted Christ because Skip made these trips happen. He spent most every Saturday taking young people on the ‘Green Pickle’ bus inviting other youngsters to church and picking them up the next morning for Sunday School. Then teaching them in Children’s Church. What great rewards must have been waiting on Skip when he went to Heaven. Will see you again my friend. In the meantime Rest in Peace.
I will miss you always Uncle Skip, give Bobby a hug for me….I can hear you two already singing with the Angles.
There are so many wonderful memories of ‘Skip’? over the many years that he was part of our family. At family gatherings he always entertained the children and our grandchildren remember him for that even though they were only around him a couple of times a years. There are so many great memories that we have and it isn’t possible to include them here. Skip, thank you for being a part of our lives, rest well.
