I am just finding out about the passing of Paul e. Skip Strombeck. MY father kept his boat at Skippers Marina for years. My family and I spent a lot of time there. It was a warm and friendly place to go to in the midst of the chaotic business life my dad led. My dad was James E. Jameson, who passed away in 2002 at 59 years of age. I will always treasure my memories of our time out on the boat and hanging around at the marina, I was young, but still clearly remember the Downscopes! Both men will be missed.

I knew Skip for several years in the 1960's. George A., Charlie J., and myself had many many good times with Skip. He was a great guy then and I'm sure he was a wonderful guy to the end. My sincere condolences to his family. Memories of Skip will always bring a smile to my face!God Bless
