Skip was a wonderful man and a good friend. I will miss his smile and sense of humor. God bless

Mr. and Mrs. "Mac" welcomed me into their Glenview home when Mike and I first became great friends as little kids. We had big attitudes, we were loud, we beat up the house inside and out playing every sport known to man, but I was always welcomed with open arms at the family dinner table and as an overnight "guest." Some of my greatest childhood memories are that of just hanging at Macs. You will be missed, Mr. Mac, and thanks for "straightening me out" at times and probably when I needed it the most! Warm Regards, Jeff Cozad
