My sincerest condolences to the entire Conklin family on the sudden passing of Skip. Skip was a dear neighbor on "Little" Race St. for many years. We'll always remember his big smile and how proud he was of his Corvettes! He will be greatly missed.

Dear Linda,
So sorry to hear about Skip. You and he were such great landlords on Cooke Drive as were you as a student of mine at LaRoche College. Mom and I just stayed at the Marriott's Barony on HH in December 2014. Maybe we can meet if we come down this December. Find me on Facebook or LinkedIn. Mary Beth (Pysk) Meyer

I am absolutely stunned to hear of Skip's passing. He was a special treat - not many like him. We knew each other in the 80s in Pittsburgh as hardware salesmen; traveling to trade shows in exotic places like Sharon and Huntington and Clarksburg. He was always an "energy" to be around, people sought him out. Few people made me laugh as hard as Skip. Boy did we have some fun together....I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dear Conklin family--
I'm so very sorry to hear of the sudden loss of Skip. Always remember the Conklin family at the corner, who I passed each way en route to school, and I remember Skip and his love of cars. Will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Fondly,
