Joe and Michele and all of the Skinner family.....We are saddened by the passing of your great Dad and Grandpa....We treasure the memories together...picnics, parties, trips to the beach, Dune Burgers and best of all....your Dad saving Lindsay's Cabbage Patch doll from the ocean waves! He loved his family more than life itself. Here's to the memories that will remain in our hearts forever! Love....The Kahler Family

To the family,
I'm sorry to hear about your dad, I know he will be greatly missed by everyone. I know we haven't kept in touch over the years but life sometimes takes us down different paths although we always end up in the same place, with Jesus.
I know he had many great years with all of you and the grand kids grew up with a wonderful grandfather. Our prayers and condolences go out to the entire family.

To the Skinner Family,
It was my honor and privilege to get to know Jim at Country Meadows. He was friendly and kind to others, whether residents or staff. I looked forward to the time my job allowed me to spend with him. We always managed to chat about all manner of things. He was an knowledgeable and interesting resident. He will be missed. He was proud of his family and loved you all very much.
I am so sorry for your loss.
