I was trying to look skip up and saw he had passed in 2012. I was really sorry to see that. We served together at fort Bragg and played baseball on a semi pro team in fa
Yetteville. I went home with him one weekend to sloatsburg. Loved that green mustang he had. So sorry for your loss. Tom herring. Tallahassee florida

I just called the Toyota Dealership to talk with Mr. Eubanks and I was shocked to learn that he passed away. Mr. Eubanks was a wonderful man and took good care of my husband and I, who are both veterans, when we wanted to purchase a vehicle. Mr. Eubanks was a veteran as well and he took extra good care of us! My mother-in-law just happened to be up from Mississippi and when we started talking with Mr. Eubanks, realized that he had family near her in Pope, MS. He and my mother-in-law chatted for a while and we left the dealership feeling really good about our buying experience because of Mr. Eubanks. While we were conducting the transaction, Mr. Eubanks talked about his family and you could tell how much he loved them. He talked about almost losing his son in an accident and was so grateful that he survived. My prayers go out to his family during this painful time. God Bless.

Nearly 50 years removed, images of Skip's ready smile and gentle good humor persist. A good teammate, competitive yet gracious - qualities I suspect endured throughout his life.

Another good guy gone too soon. Skip was a fun guy to be around and to play baseball with. His southern drawl brought a smile to your face when ever he was around. Frank Mazzotta...Class of '64

I was shocked to learn of Skip's passing. My recollections of Skip, without fail, are of his great laugh along with his "slow southern drawl". A better young man did not exist at Suffern High School back in those days...Though I hadn't seen him in many, many years, there will be a hole in my life with him gone. Sincere condolences to his family. Peter Sipperly ...SHS '62

I graduated in '64 from SHS. I remember Skip as being a good baseball player and had a metallic blue '54 Ford convertible. As a fellow Vietnam Vet, Welcome Home Brother

To my Eubanks family,
I don't even know how to say how sad and sorry I am that the world has lost one of the best. Skip (still Mr. Eubanks to me) was the nicest, most easy-going and fun fathers I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He was always patient and fun to be around (even when I made him pull over 10 times on the way to camp Russell). Skip was a friend to everyone who knew him (which was everyone) and he will always be missed by us all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Love,
Chris and Meg
