Skip was my best friend and he was a brother to me. I have known him for 50 years after becoming friends in 5th grade with him at Main Oakview Elementary School in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
. His worldly pain is over and he continues his journey in our next stage with our Lord and Savior.
He is Forever in my heart. Thanks for all the wonderful memories.
Love you and your family. I will not say goodbye instead I will say,
"Until we meet again Skip."
