Skip helped me in so many ways. But most importantly, he was a very dear friend. I will miss him always, until we see each other again.

To my friend "Skip" who has never left my thoughts or heart but for some reason popped into my thoughts so strongly today that I had to share even after all the years that have passed since God called you home. We love you, we miss you....and I know we all have a guardian angel in heaven looking over us . much like you did while you walked this earth. I will always be thankful that you blessed my life. Hug all my loved ones up there for me, and feel the hug I send you now...a hug that is reminiscent of the heartfelt bear hugs you so freely gave to all of us when we needed it the most.
Cape Cod where you married me for the second time to the same beautiful woman.

My dear friend, it's been five years and you are still in my phone directory. I just can't bring myself to delete the number. You opened my mind and when things get to heavy I ask myself" What would Skip say or do?" Seems to get me through anything.I know your still with me and I want to say Thank You again for your friendship! I truly miss you Buddy.

Father Skip,
I'm almost 50 now and I just found out today as I was searching the internet that you have been birthed into Heaven. As I reflected on you I had to reflect on what you meant to me...and I smiled. I remember you with fondness, love and respect. You were a major milestone for me in my journey closer to God, whom I had known since I was a small child. As a teenager in the 1970s I joined the Bible Study that you led at St. Andrews. Although the attendees were all White suburban older long-married Catholic adults and I was a young Black inner city teen being raised on Welfare in a large family by a ailing Christian single mom, you welcomed me and made sure I felt included - a part of the Christian family. Christ told Peter if you love me, "Feed my sheep". You recognized the God in me and fed me. God has a way of bringing the right people to say and do the right things at the right time in your life, and you were such a person in my life. You taught me to pray, not to Mother Mary, but to God in the name of Jesus. You taught me to be a Christian - not a Catholic; and to love the Lord in practice - not ritual. You sheparded me; listened to and counselled me; and baptized me in Lake Wawasee - full emersion in the name of Jesus Christ and the Father, Son and Holy Ghost (which made both Baptist grandmother and Pentecostal grandmother happy) while we were on a Christian retreat. You donated to my college education and stopped in to check on me as I was pursuing my Engineering degree. You, indeed, did what God calls us as Christians to do. You made a difference, a measurable positive difference! in my life. Although as humans we are such imperfect creatures, I am sure that when you go before the Judgement Seat of Christ, you will hear, "Well done my good and faithful servant" for if nothing else than all that you did for me and the legacy you have left here on Earth in me.
Peace be with you, Father Skip.
With fondness, love and respect,
Ang

Can't believe I have not written in this before now. I still miss you so much and the tears just roll when I think about you being gone, even though it's been a few years since you've been gone. Thank you so much for all you've done for me, you were my best friend the one who was ALWAYS there for me no matter what. You baptized me and held me in the palm of your hand when I was a baby. I still miss you so much and hate that I cannot talk to you. I know you are in a better place and you are enjoying a much needed break from the busy life you once led. There will never be another like you, someday we will meet again. Love you!
July 28, 2010
He knew me since I was little & I never had a chance to meet him before he passed on. We spoke on the phone often and he gave great advice. I miss & love you Skip.

I met Skip when we attended the Latin School in Indianapolis. I was a freshman and he a senior. He took me under his wing and befriended me in a very warm and Christian manner. I lost track of him after high school and learned only yesterday of his death. I still have wonderful memories of our conversations. May he rest in peace.

My dear +Skip....the anniversary of your day of birth into this world is fast approaching. We were only one day apart in that event, and thus celebrated together. Most of the time it was after you had put in a 12 hour day, and you would stop by to celebrate on your way home. Well my friend, I will miss your physical presence this and every birthday. While I'm sure I'll shed a tear in your memory, I can be rest assured that you will be here in spirit. A tiny change in my life occured after you left "sales", and went into "management". (Good one, Al!)
Every morning, before work, while I'm sipping my coffee, I listen to CD with nothing but different vocalists singing "Ave Maria". It calms my soul, warms my heart, takes me back to the days you walked this earth, and taught thousands of christians, no matter what walk of life. You were, and still are, a true disciple of Christ. May God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit continue to keep you in his arms forever and ever. +Amen

I just found out my beloved "savior of my sanity and restorer of my faith in God" hero, Father Skip died...oddly about the same time that my real father died last May, 2009. I will never forget his analogy of humanity that we are born with bright shiny boots (devine creatures, made in the likeness and image of God) and through the process of daily living somehow they get muddied up a bit. He also told me, "Just take off the boots, clean 'em up and you'll be just fine" The qualities of forgiveness and compassion for others he demonstrated was Christ-like. I felt like I was friends with a modern day saint. That is how he always treated us, as his cherished friends. I will never forget you, Father Skip.

Skip, You saved me in more than one way. You unselfishly devoted your time and care for me and were always there when I needed you. I could never thank you enough and I am truly grateful for you revealing to me who God really is. Thank you my good friend!

At 3am you'd hear the front door open, and wonder if someone had just broken in to your home. NOPE...just Skip stoppin' by to grab a quick nap because your home was the closest to where he happened to be. Skip, you kept me in faith when I had none, you showed me that God really had a plan for us all, though often it didnn't show itself immediately, you allowed me to see that the clergy was actually human, just like me, and that Thelonius Monk was cooler than ANY Beatle on the planet. One of Mom's closest friends, confidant to many a family turmiol and secret, even let Dad see that "those church guys" had a good side. I love you, my old friend. Can't wait to jam with you and tell each other bad jokes again. Maybe by then you'll have learned some new ones...LOL
May God hold us both close in the palm of His hand.

Our beloved Skip: Once my counselor, then mentor, and most importantly a forever friend, I will carry you in my heart always until we all meet again. Give hugs all around to all those I love who passed before you. I will miss you always, "bits and pieces, and much love",

Skip,
Eventhough I grew up in the catholic church You were the only one to explain to me the true meaning of the Church and faith. You were there so many times for me, both when I needed shepherding and when I needed help for someone else. You were the only priest we could count on to make "house calls" in the middle of the day or night. You were never a preacher but a teacher and as such influenced every life you touched including mine. Your caring and wisdom has made a difference in my life. You are missed and will be in our hearts until we meet again on the other side.

Ahh +Skip,
Such a gift you were to so many. How did you make room for me, too? You taught me some important things, my friend. Thank you for sharing your goodness, thank you for sharing your holiness, and thank you for sharing your humanity. It has been such a time of grace knowing you. Peace forever. Memory Eteranl!

We will both remember Skip as a friend and a mentor. Through him the Holy Spirit continued to renew the Church by challenging the Pharisees of our day and always putting love first.

Thank You Skip,
I didn't know you very long but you touched my heart and even though I never told you I seen you as an earthly father.
I thank you for all the inspiration you've given me to hold on.
I am at peace knowing that you are now in the Land of Milk & Honey
Our Love carries on.

Thank you, Skip!
I will always remember your kindness to my family and me during your priestly ministry here on earth.
You fed many who were hungry for acceptance, and to those who were thirsty, you refreshed them. To strangers and those estranged, you invited and included them. To those naked and vulnerable you clothed them with dignity. To those sick in body, mind, heart and soul and locked up in all kinds of prisons, you visited and encouraged them.
Though many misunderstood and condemned you or regarded you with scorn, you regarded all with humility and charity.
Well done, good and faithful servant.

As one of his best friends and having shared so much with him over the last 21 years, he will truly be missed. But he taught me to know that life goes on and he will always be with me.
I wonder if he is still in sales or moved to management. His Mom thinks he went to management.

I am grateful to Skip, Isabelle and Earl for the 50 years plus of friendship that was faithful, loving and challenging. I was honored to give the Eulogy at +Skip’s funeral. He truly believed that every person, in all their uniqueness and diversity, reveals something of the beauty of our God. He walked with people who were wounded and those who cared for them. He was friend of the poor and rich, the sinner and those who thought they were holy. He befriended those who were imprisoned, the physically disabled and psychologically wounded, the sick and dying. To heal those broken in life, he worked with nurses and doctors, with psychologists and pastors, with police officers and firemen. As Jesus did, he believed in conversion, turning around, doing a Gospel change. Skip was deeply rooted in the historic, apostolic faith of the Church both east and west, but was also open to the new horizons and insights of psychology, human relationships and scientific research. Skip was an honest and humble disciple of Jesus and, as the master whom he followed faithfully, a loving brother to all whom he met, putting the needs of others before himself. Earl Brian Carsten became the Episcopal leader of the Orthodox-Catholic Church of America without loosing the mind and the heart of Christ Jesus. At the foot of the Cross, Skip learned a contemplative silence that sheds false masks and allows us to die to self so that the final death is only a transition to the new life promised by the Risen Lord. In all things, he sought to do what Jesus did, the will of the Father and proclaim faithfully the Kingdom of God. In the ups and downs of his earthly journey, he reaffirmed his abiding love of the Lord. And now the Lord can say to him, “You have been my beloved disciple. Inherit the Kingdom prepared for you.” With enduring love, Skip, until we meet again, I remain your friend. -- Father Ron Ashmore

Father Skip, it is hard to feel sad when I know that you are with the Lord that you loved so. The tears I shed are completely selfish because I know that you are smiling and are in the arms of the Lord. You were a true friend, you helped me more than words can ever express, I will miss you, but I am so very happy for you, rest now, my friend.

My dear Isabelle:
As I read through all the kind remembrances in this guest book I have hoped page after page that you read them all and find comfort. None of those who have written have known you and Skip as long as I have. We were grade school friends. I threw papers up and down Park and Broadway. On the coldest of days your door was open and the warmth of Nanna, you and Earl was always a treasure. With my parents you forged a great friendship that endured and provided many of us great memories of Race Day picnics. It is impossible to express my affection and concern for you in this way; and my absence today, Friday is painful; but the Friday before Palm Sunday and a thousand mile journey is bad combination. But I'll be waving a Palm Branch for you, Earl, and Skip and singing "Hosanna". I will call you soon, and be standing at the altar here at Saint Mark Church on Friday in communion with you.

First you saved me, then you saved my son, then you saved me (again), helped me bury my mother and marry my husband. You have been there for so many turning points in my life. Your loss is another turning point - and again you are there.
Love to you always.

Dear friend, i don't know how to express the ways you touched my life, maybe as a teen heading down the wrong path after the death of my father, or later in life as an adult, the many conversations about life, faith and even polotics.... you will always be a part of each decision I make in life. I appreciate the way you cut through the bull and had a way of "bottom lining" it for me. All the encouragement you gave me to go back to school and further my education...I hear ya big guy, Im going to do this for you! Thanks for your guidance and friendship over the past 22+ years. I know God has a purpose for you and this is part of His plan. God bless you and keep you..

Skip, You have done so much for my family and myself that we could never begin to thank you. You are an inspiration to all that you touched. The love that oozed from you existence was contagious.

Your Eminence,+Skip;
You are missed more than words can say. The time I was planning to be with you, to learn more from you, just to be able to be with you, will not be in this world, but in time to come. How you have touched my life only you knew, but your prayers, advice and encouragement were always God sent. My dearest friend, I love you.

What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

Fr. Skip,
The last time I talked to you was on your birthday and although that seems some time ago, I now know we talked for a reason. You have always believed in me and have been there since day one. I don't know what my family would be with out you and your love. I am still working on an undergraduate degree but will continue on to med school knowing you are on my side and will guide my way. Thank you for all that you have taught me about the Lord and I will cotinue to live for Him. As I shed many tears, I am know rejoicing knowing that you are with the Lord, the One who loves you the most. You will be missed, and we will meet again.

"How can I keep from singing?" My beloved brother, Skip.I know you are singing joyfully in heaven now and hearing every note! Your love of music was contagious and so was your love of Jesus in the faces of the poor. Thanks for being willing to go where others would rather not for the sake of the Kingdom. Happy Easter, my friend.

Dear +Skip,
it was my joy and honor to be your student and ordinand; to be part of your spiritual lineage. I will do my best to make my life in ministry a credit to your example.
I will also miss you! What, a kind, loving man you were. What a generous soul. What a mensch.
When I watched you at the altar and listened to your preaching, I knew that I was in the presence of a true master. If only there had been more time to learn from your beautiful, graceful "relaxed reverence."
I know our relationships don't end just because one of us has made a change of address, so, "drop in" any time.
You are in my thoughts, my heart and my prayers always.
Eternal joy, peace and blessings,
Francesca+

Skip,
I am so blessed to have known you. You nurtured me, listened to me, taught me what true faith is, and that no matter what, you should never give up hope. You got me through some really tough times, and gave me the strength to keep my chin up, even when I didn't think I could. I have never known anyone who cared so much, who loved everyone, and who gave so much to others. Thank you for being there for me. I will miss you terribly, my friend. You truly are a shining star.
Rest in peace.

Thanks, my friend.

When asked what the most important commandment is, Jesus responded that the most important is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is to Love your neighbor as yourself. Skip, by everyday example, you showed us how to live these commandments. Bless you, dear friend.

Thanks for being accepting of me in my life and in my choices as I chose the Archdiocese of Detroit.
