My deepest condolences to Cynthia and Matt. Words can't express what Skip's friendship meant to me.

It was my pleasure to be Skips hair stylist and friend.I was very fortunate to have had so much time to get to know him so well. Visiting with him on on regular basis for many years was always interesting, educational, and heart warming. He always came in with a smile and enjoyed visiting with the other clients in the salon. He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of meeting him. Every other Tuesday will never be the same for me. My deepest sympathy to Cynthia and Matt.

I was blessed to be guided by Dr. Brack in my pursuit of a PhD at Arizona State University. His insight, kindness, and enthusiasm was a force for good in the lives of so many graduate students.

Skip was so kind and generous. It was truly my pleasure to visit with him. Whether it was a brief hello, how are you, or to share a review of a new restaurant or a story of his latest project. He will be missed.

I got to know Skip personally over the last few years, after many years of admiring his work from a distance, and I found a gentle, kind, helpful, and whimsical soul, a friend I will miss very much. My condolences to Cynthia and Matt.

Skip -- you are ever remembered for your kindness, tact, scholarship & love.

Skip had a rare combination of gifts, brilliance, a genial good nature, extraordinary generosity, and a gift for friendship that nothing tends to fill. We'll miss you!

I only knew Skip for the last couple of years. But his generosity, kindness and sense of fun became an important part of my life. I miss him.
