A man of exquisite taste. My condolences go out to everyone who is part of the Skip Roberts World. His star shined brightly. I enjoyed all the hours we spent on the golf course as he had the most interesting stories to tell. Interesting fact is that he came up with the ballpark franks Commercial"they plump when you cook em". I will miss you my friend.

Skip was my first "boss" ever after graduating from college. And, although he was that to me, he was also a great mentor always asking me to sit down at his desk and "sup at the table of knowledge" as well as become a friend. Skip, even with his seniority, would still show up at our keg parties where he would make sure there was an ample supply of Ball Park Franks and Vlasic Pickles for all who came. He would come to the Doner softball games and was always the life of the party. I never saw Skip again after 4 years at Doner but he left an indelible and positive mark on my life, for which I am very grateful. Rest in peace, Skip. I'll join you for a martini up there down the road.
