Terry and family, from an old, old, old friend from the John Wight Jr High days, your old stat man. My sincerest condolences on Tim's passing. I have always thought about you guys any time i have seen a CV basketball or football game these many years. even though i moved districts in 1973, and changed my loyalty to Canon-McMillan, i was still a CV Colt by birth, just like all the Skelleys. i would love to make contact with you some time, Terry.

Terry and the entire Skelley family,

Vic,Terry, Patty--the entire Skelley family of all generations,and you, Christine---
A sad day but a good day for all of us to remember Brother Tim as he was--an extremely decent human being.
Victor, your rememberance of Tim from the pulpit of OLG was outstanding and so much from the heart and soul that we there should never forget it. And as we talked later and both of us agreed, that came from your love and the collective love in the church at that moment i.e., The Holy Spirit who never lets us down or abandons us in moments of such importance.
Let us now live on and be happy that we have each other and happy in the memory of Timmy.

His presence filled any room and nothing will ever take that memory away. I only knew him six years and have countless memories that capture his hilarious, thoughtful, kind, and insightful spirit. He lives on in his beautiful family and the great memories anyone who shared a laugh and some stories with Timmy will always remember. Love you, always.

Terry: I saw Timmy's obit in today's paper and was so upset. Not sure if you remember me, but I have fond memories of you both, especially Timmy. He was always so kind and sweet to me, and such a special person. In fact, I thought of him not long ago, for whatever reason. I am so so sorry for your loss, I just had to write. I can still see his sweet smiling face. Take care.
