Not sure what to say?

I always had great respect a special place in my heart for "Doc Skinker" as did many of our neighbors on Blue Lake and in Indian Ridge. My thoughts and prayers are you during this trying time.

Joan and Family,
You are in our prayers. I have many fond memories of time spent with Tom.

I met TOM when I started practice in 1979. He was always smiling and truly enjoyed the practice of medicine. My wife and I had many good memories with TOM and Joan and some good times at Lil Abners dancing and having good food with Dean Armstrong and his wife. May God rest his sole. He was a good man and an excellent physician
Husband and father.

I am Paul Edgar's youngest son and remember Dr. Skinker as a fine man and doctor. May you continue to have fond memories of him for the rest of your lives; especially now as you mourn his passing.

We have so many wonderful memories of visits in AZ, MI, & DC.
We will all miss Uncle Tom, and wish we could be there with you.
Deepest Sympathy and love, Paula & Wally

Dear Linda, Our sincere sympathy to you and your family in the passing of your dad.

I first met Dr Skinker as a kid. He was just new to town, working with Dr Sherman Peterson, DO. Giving me an allergy shot, the needle broke. But, in spite of that first encounter, Dr Skinker became our family physician. His approach was not just medical, he cared for the whole being, wanting updates on family, career, etc. A very nice man.

Tom, will be missed by so many friends, patients and his love ones.
May God bless his family during this time.
