Our hearts are saddened by the loss of our dear friend Ski! What a wonderful man. We (my husband Cliff and I) had the pleasure of spending many special times with he and Mummsie and their family and friends. I will miss putting up beets, jams, pickles and "Dilly Beans" with him very much. Thanks Ski - for everything you will be deeply missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. My Dad John had many great memories of his visits to see his brother and we knew he was well taken care of out there. Ski was a great uncle.
