He was very active with My Brother’s Keeper. He was a member of International Union of Operating Engineers Local 825 and in his youth, was an avid Horseman. He also collected milk glass and other antique glass. Skip was an increbile husband, father, and friend that truly enjoyed helping people. He will be sorely missed.
