Skip was a neighborhood hero who became a High School hero for us kids growing up in the Benjamin Franklin neighborhood. My brother played ball with him. I was a teammate and good friend of Paul´s and my sister was classmates with Louis. We have lost a great one. My condolences to all. Ron

I have such fond memories of "Skipper" and the entire Stawarz family! We grew up across the street from each other and my brother (Joe Pavano) and he were best friends, (as I was with Paul). I remember him not only for his athletic accomplishments, but also as the kind, fun young kid and then a gentleman to me, Joe´s little sister. My heartfelt sympathy to his family. We now know what another piece of heaven looks like . I hope he and Joe (deceased (6/1/2025) are catching up! Rest in peace , Skipper.
