Not sure what to say?

I do not always check my social media platforms. So, on my 51st Birthday, I found out about Ike's death. He was a close friend of my Mom, Marilyn Kessler McCreery, and was in my Aunt's Wedding Party. He will be greatly missed. Few politicians were as honest and sincere as Ike.

Belton and Raymore lost a dear friend. In the 1980s he provided guidance as my Mother, Vera Waltmire, navigated the red tape associated with obtaining housing for Seniors. When people complained about politicians Mother was quick to tell them that Ike Skelton worked tirelessly and above and beyond the call of duty. The two cities have wonderful housing for Seniors.

I met Mr. Skelton when I was a child, the impression he left me on me never faded! As I grew up I watched & I knew that Ike Skelton was most certainly an honest & honorable man! This country has lost a great man!! My prayers & deepest sympathy go to his family, may God comfort you, keep you & bless you!

My father,Donny Lueck, went to school with Mr. Skelton. When both of our parents passed away, my brother & I both received a letter from Mr. Skelton. I realize he probably did this for many people, but it really touched us that he did take the time to show his thoughtfulness. Our parents (Donny & MaryAnn Lueck) have been gone for quite some time, but I'll always remember how Mr. Skelton's letter made us feel-remembered with caring.
