Rest In Peace my brother and friend 🙏🙏
Mary, my heart is broken with yours. It has been a quick almost 60 years since your family became a part of my life. Maple, Schuyler, Gleason… I remember Skip in so many ways. “Peel me a grape.” Ha, Ha. One rainy night when he came home from the Navy in his sailor whites with a giant duffle bag on his shoulder I gave him a lift to you and “Heavy’s” new home. It was nice to do a turn for your big brother for a change. Skip’s passing is almost unimaginable. In Jesus I am thrilled that his life was full of love and purpose. To Rona, and all the family please accept my condolences, as well. Skip was smart, wise, fun-loving and steady…a very good man.
Deepest sympathy to the family and friends of “Skip”. I had the pleasure and opportunity to work with Skip during our years at the company, within many departments.
