I remember getting ready to move to Oregon and Skip staying the last couple of days in town with me he followed me to my mom's house when I went to say goodbye I believe he didn't want to say goodbye and in reality he didn't before I could leave leave my mom's house he asked if I would mind if he followed me just to see where me and my boys were going to be he was gone by the next morning before I could wake from Southern Oregon he turned around and drove back knowing that he had a concert for his daughter the very next day that's a friend drive over 1,400 miles in twenty-four hours or so just to see where you're going to be and not to have to say goodbye I don't believe however find a friend like him ever again skip was a once in a lifetime friend! PS can we meet again love you!

It's an HONOR to say that Skip was my friend. He was ALWAYS the kindest, caring AND most helpful man I've had the honor of knowing. We shared super good laughs, great times, awesome meals, caring & kind conversations just to mention a few things. He always lifted me up with his contagious smiles AND his comforting ability to just spend some time with me AND share himself just being my friend. He would go out of his way to help & assist in anyway he could whether it be a ride somewhere, just someone to talk to, a place to stay the night if needed, a meal, money, a bodyguard lol OR just someone to listen to yiu AND talk with you. May you RIP my friend & be free. Skip you are in my heart AND a part of my being AND you with ALWAYS stay there. Not even death can break the bond of friendship we have. I love you buddy!!!
Until we met again!!
Vaya con Dios 💖✌⭐✌
See you on the other side
Thank you so very much for being my friend 😉
