On behalf of the Nielsen family we would like to send our condolences to Skip's family. Our parents were very good friends with his parents and we grew up visiting each others houses and attending many other mutual social events. We have since moved away but our parents kept in touch. When our Mom called us with the news we were shocked and very sad. Our prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
