Skippy, Richard, and family:
Pat and I were saddened to learn of Skip’s passing. He was a “big” part of our families for many good years. We will miss him greatly, along with you, at all the future family events. We know your grief is tough to deal with now, but Skip had strong faith and knew death was not the end for him. We hope that you will also be strengthened by such faith during your difficult time. All our love, Tommy.
