I will forever be "The Weiner" thanks to Poppy Skip.
He is like a brother to me, and you Pam are not only Skips special angel, but mine as well.
Thank you.
I will cherish our memories and good times.
I'll never forget him riding beside me, big smile on his face, swaying back and forth and singing Happy Wanderer. Nor will I ever forget having him up to our home while he was still on California time! It was a long, long, night, and Billy & I enjoyed every minute of it.
Happy Wandering Skip. RIP
