Not sure what to say?

I have such fond memories...canvas bags (thanks to Betsy!), lobster races in the yard in Skaneateles, sailing with Uncle Skip and Mom, my yellow slicker, Ladycliff weekends in New Rochelle with Sara and Jean, summer beach trips, and so much more.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. May your happy memories help you through these difficult times.
Love,
Mary

We were looking forward to seeing Uncle Skip and family in March. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Looking forward to seeing you soon, Love, Anne and Ted

I have many fond memories of Uncle Skip. Besides being a wonderful Uncle, he was a great craftsman. As a kid, I always looked forward to Christmas and opening the box from him knowing it was something he made. I still have and frequently use the canvas bags that he made and will cherish them even more. My prayers to the family.

Sincere sympathy in your loss. Skip was a special guy and a good friend to my husband. We always enjoyed having him as a guest in our home.

Uncle Skip was an inspiration to me sailing on Long Island Sound - I cherish those memories.

thinking of you both with dearest love~~~~~~~
