Not sure what to say?





Kathy, our prayers are with you and your family. Skip and I are almost the same age. The thing I remember most about him was when he taught Barb Medlocks poodle to "smile". It was so funny, as he'd give the dog a treat if he'd do this trick. It is a lovely memory which I will cherish of Skip. I feel lucky to have know both you and Skip. God Bless.

My family is saddened by the loss of a dear friend who always brightened any situation with actions and words. we knew Skip first as a performer, then as a videographer and lawyer, and eventually a friend. Our family has loved yours,and always enjoyed taking for granted we would see you in the workplace. Dear Skip, you will be missed. I hope Trent is welcoming you with a reciprocating smile.

I am so sorry for your loss. Please be comforted in knowing that God cares for you and will help you in your time of need(1Peter5:7).

We are greatly saddened to learn about Skip's death. He was fun, he was smart, he was talented, and he was a joy to be with. Skip was a bundle of energy. We remember being with him at parties where Skip would play the piano making up tunes and parody songs. Even if you tried to resist because you were the theme you just had to laugh. He made things better wherever he went.
