It was with a shock I learned of Skip's passing so many months ago. For many years he was like a father to me. Such a kind and gentle man. I hope his little Casey is well. He and Mr. Dude were quite a pair. Rest well and in peace. There are so many who will miss you

To my brother "SKIP" there was a time
way back when we had are ups & downs, round & rounds but we were there for each other for the most part especially when either had their back against the wall but as the team we were we always came out for the better and those are the times I'm always going to remember,the last time you drove by the house with that big wave and I looked up from what I was doing and I gave it back was not a goodbye but a Big Hello will see you again to sit and have our coffee and talk about those good ole times once again in the future. Mom, Donnie, Nancy and the rest are waiting on you and I know they can hardly wait to see you as for the rest of us we'll keep on thinking about you from time to time and when someone ask what are you grinning about we'll look up & grin again and laugh like we use to do with Mom ( You Know)love u Eddie
