There are no words or phrases that can make the loss of a loved one feel better, and only time will heal a broken heart they say. Always cherish the wonderful memories and be hopeful of the future. From the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you to Skeeter for contributing to my successful career in Taekwondo. Being my number one sponsor helping my travels to competitions around the country. Of course providing that good old place called Waldo’s where I could always find my beloved father having a good old time. Skeeter will be welcome to open arms and a bit of added protection I may say. We will all be together again.
Sincerely,

To Marylu and Danny: I cannot express to you how very sad I am. I'm still in shock about Jerry and now Skeeter. All my prayers and love are with you at this time. It helps ease the pain to know they are now with my sweet Auntie Judy and their Uncle Jimmy! Skeeter it was wonderful to talk with you recently, I only wish we had done that sooner. You are at peace now and will be Natalie and Heidi's guardian angel. Love you with all my heart, your cousin Leslie

Skeet was a great friend to both my husband Chuck and me. We've known him since high school and he always was smiling. I hadn't seen him since Chuck's funeral so I was shocked to hear of his passing. Heaven will be a little wilder now that he's gone to join Chuck there. My deepest sympathy to the family.

To My cousins Marylou, Danny and Families,
Skeeter was a wonderful, kind and considerate person, always thinking of others and his immediate family.The love he had for Natalie and Heidi was so very obvious. When he would speak of them he often had tears in his eyes. I hope the girls will always remember him and hold him dear to their hearts.
Dear cousin, you will be missed.
