So sorry to hear this news! Skip was someone you could always count on seeing and making your funeral experience a little brighter... he was someone kind and compassionate and had assisted through many of my moms family´s wakes and funerals(The Pembles). The funeral home and our community has lost a wonderful person. May he rest in peace. He definitely earned his wings. He will be greatly missed by all, a real gem!

I worked with Skip on numerous occasions over the year with funeral escorts. His attention to detail as well as his compassion and empathy provided unending comfort to grieving families. A life dedicated to making others feel more comfortable at the worst of times; what a legacy.
