"This is how I would describe my my oldest brother Skip. He was loving and kind to everyone he met. Growing up, Skip loved playing
basketball and playing pool.
In his latter years, Skip loved reading and studying the Bible, One of his favorite scriptures was Psalm 27:1-
The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid?
Brother you will be missed".
