To the dearest of friends. We shared many happy times. Skip was John's best man and also his pall bearer. After John's death,you took care of us in a way that was over and above what any friend should be expected to do. Angela, Johnny and I will always feel indebted to you for that. Skip is a man my children could learn from and admire. How thankful I am for that. Trent, my Godson and so like his dad, showed unbelievable compassion for us and would come by to check on me often in San Angelo. Margaret, I hope I can be 1/2 as good a friend to you as you have been to me. God be with you in the days ahead. Love, Robbie
