I'm very sorry to hear of Henry's passing. He was very giving of his time and expertise through the American Society of Inventors for so many years. He added value to so many lives, and was always seen as a positive influence when I had the privilege to be around him. I'm glad I knew him. My condolences to his family. He'll be missed.

I am so sorry to hear this news... I never got a chance to meet you, Mr. Skillman, and would have loved to be able to. But I met your fine sons Henry and Mark at the Giggleswick Howson Reunion, and hope one day to meet the rest of your family. With deepest sympathy and love from your cousin Anne Howson in Boston MA

Mr. Skillman was my Father's Patent atty. who helped him get his Patent in 1959. My Father always held him in the highest regard. Sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.
