Not sure what to say?

Skip and I became quick friends and we enjoyed golfing, a cigar, and good conversation. He had a heart of gold and will be missed greatly.

So sorry to hear about Skip

Nadine I am truly sorry for you and your families loss Know my mom and I are thinking of you Joanne Trottier

So sorry to hear of cousin Skip´s passing. I have many great memories growing up with him and my brother Mike. As we grew older, our own families took priority and unfortunately we only saw each other at family gatherings. Skip was a great father and husband and will be surely missed by all.

Had great times working with skip at the gc. He would cut greens i would do a full setup. Clean off equipment skip me and simba. Guy hits tee shot off 16, samba takes off like a rocket and brings his ball back to him so he would hit it again so skip and i were laughing our guts out and we both had to go get simba.

You just came by to get a bottle of wine with your wife ya looked great have many stories with working at ledges gc like the sat morning we cleaned up mowers after i did setup he cut greens and simba chased a ball from a tee shot on 16 we both were in stitches when simba brought the ball back to the tee box so the guy could hit it again we ran over to get the dog laughing all the way. It was just another great day with skip always happy never heard a bad thing about him nor ever heard him say...

We send or deepest condolences to Nadine and your family for your loss of dear Skip. He was truly a wonderful man. He was so good to us. Our little Nyla loved him so much and we appreciated how much he loved her. He will be missed by so many. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.

Sincere condolences to his family and friends. I had the pleasure of knowing Skip as a co worker, mentor but especially as my friend. He represented me for my rating exam, which means he spent a year of his time mentoring me and helping me to prepare.
For this I will be forever thankful to him. Rest in peace my friend.

Worked with him at the Ledges Golf Course. We would cut greens in the morning and then hid in the woods and share stories for a 1/2 hour. Too funny. Great person.
