On behalf of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart Alumni Association and Brother Martin High School, I offer our prayers and condolences. We will say a Mass in his memory.

Father of all, we pray to you for Skipper, and all those we love but see no longer. Grant to them eternal rest. Let light perpetually shine upon them. May his soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

I knew skip as a member of the Monday Night Disciples. He loved God, his family and the Monday Night Disciples. During reflections at meetings sometimes his mind wandered but the same message came through that he loved God and was thankful for blessings received. He was a Navy pilot whose service included tenure as an admiral's aide.
He was a man of deep faith. I am blessed to have known him and am sure he is finally home. God Bless you Skip !
