It is with great sadness that I learn of Skip's passing. Skip and I were close friends, buddies really, through years at Vermilion Public Schools. After VHS, we were often together in the summer. He excelled at many things, including academics, leadership, music, athletics, games, generosity and friendliness. I learned a lot from him. He was an important person in my youth, and I will miss him.
