Message: Very deeply saddened to learn of the loss of a very good friend, all the way back to when we were boys about 8 0r 9 years old. "Skip," though we seldom saw each other in recent years, when we did you were always the same honest and dear friend. You no longer have to struggle now and contend with life's adversities. I know you have been welcomed into the Holy Kingdom where you will forever be comforted. Rest, my Friend, in the Peace you have earned and deserve.
