To all the Krugel clan, Skip was always the life and gatekeeper of the Tripoli game. I will always remember his smile and sharp wit. He was a great man, hard working and always present at family gatherings. I feel honored to have known him. He will be missed.

Being a "partner in crime" with Amy in our 20´s was never more fun than through Skip´s eyes! I think he kind of understood through that gleam in his eye and fun sense of humor. I always knew just how much they loved each other. Take care, sweet Amy. Rest in peace Skip
