We have been neighbors for over 20 years. Skip always had a story to share, an opinion about current events and advice when needed. He will be missed. We'll keep you all in our prayers.

I worked with Andy about 5 years at Trane before he retired. We went on motorcycle trips together and went shooting. Andy always had great stories to tell and definitely knew how to enjoy life. Sad that he has passed and I wish his family members well.
