Skip loved bringing people together and telling stories, so in lieu of sending cards, we encourage all to leave a post/comment/photo on this site - whether its a story/memory of good ol Skipper or well wishes. Dad also wanted his diagnosis to have purpose and felt strongly about his experience furthering research towards a cure for cancer, so please feel free to send a donation to the Colon Cancer Foundation in his name/honor (link on this site included).

Per Skip's wishes, we will be having his Life Celebration on Saturday, July 29, 2023 (Skip and Marie's 50th Wedding Anniversary) at the cabin/"Up North" in Land o' Lakes, WI. More details are in the events section and we will continue to update. We would love to see one and all there to celebrate Skip.

If there are any specific questions or thoughts for the family, please feel free to reach out to one of 'the boys': Jason Praefke (303-883-8451), Scott Praefke (310-663-2249), Ryan Praefke (920-840-3327).
