John Skilling Obituary

Published by Weed Corley Fish Funeral Homes and Cremation Services - Lake Travis on Feb. 1, 2011.

John Taylor â€œJTâ€� Skilling Somebody Has To by Shel Silverstein Somebody has to go polish the stars, Theyâ€™re looking a little bit dull. Somebody has to go polish the stars, For the eagles and starlings and gulls Have all been complaining theyâ€™re tarnished and worn, They say we want new ones we cannot afford. So please get your rags And your polishing jars, Somebody has to go polish the stars. On Tuesday, February 1st, 2011 JT left this earth to polish the stars, and watch over us all from afar. In lieu of flowers, The Lowe/Skilling Family hopes to celebrate JTâ€™s life and legacy through the following organizations: Highland Lakes SPCA P.O. Box 1275 Marble Falls, Texas 78654 website: www.highlandlakesspca.org Spicewood Arts Society, SAS P.O. Box 533 Spicewood, Texas 78669 website: www.spicewoodarts.org Utopia ISD Scholarship Fund P.O.
