My condolences to all of Skips family and friends. I had him as a teacher at South Point High School in 81 and 82. A great teacher and a funny guy. I appreciated all he did us students. While I left SP after high school for a Navy career, I was glad I was able to catch up with him a few years ago via social media. Rest in Peace Skip. You will be missed.
