Joe, Bobby, Steve, Sandra, and Kevin - I'm so sorry for your loss. Uncle Skip was a much loved brother and uncle; I know my mom must have been overcome with joy when she saw him coming through the gates of Heaven. Both she and my dad thought the world of him. May the peace of the Father be with you all during this difficult time.
