This one comes out of left field (which ones don't?). I was looking forward to seeing Skip at the reunion. We were in Phi Sig together and shared some "experiences". Skip's Grandparents were also very good friends of my parents! I am sorry to his family for his untimely passing. RIP "Skip"

I cannot believe that skip is gone.  He was the first guy I wrestled with in practice when we were on the team together.  It turned into a war which pretty much ended in a draw.  Stayed friends through high school and spent some time sailing and water skiing.  We spent two years in German class together as we both flunked the first year.  Life is short and fragile.  Two weeks ago I was going along just fine and out of nowhere I had a stroke-took two hits.  Saved my life by taking four asprins in the middle of it.  If it is time to make some life ,, style changes, folks do it now.  The way the country is going our grandkids may need our pensions and SS cecks.  Be carefull.  Jim Biddlecombe

Skip lived in the neighborhood. We used to sneak out at night in the summertime and go to the Deleware Drive-In and watch the Movies from the playground. Rodney Ted always had a smile on his face. We always had a lot of fun. I was very much looking forward to seeing him at the reunion. Rest in Peace old friend.

It was difficult to hear the news that Skip had passed away.  In pre senior high school days, Skip and I had been in Boy Scouts.  Skip was always great to be around, an upbeat presence.  He was a good leader, achieved at the highest level in scouting and was always greatly appreciated by his friends.  Deepest sympathy to his family and to his friends.

So sorry to read that Skip has passed away.  We played little league together, and a lot of sandlot ball.  We always had a lot of fun, and we stayed friends at Hoover, and Ken-West.  My thoughts and prayers to his family.  He'll be missed.

My parents and Skip's parents were good friends. We hung out alot as young kids. He felt more like a cousin than a friend. My brother Bob owned a duplex in Kenmore and Skip and his wife lived upstairs. He was one of the good guys. He will be missed. So sad at hearing of his passing.
