To Skip’s family,
I was so sorry to see of Skip’s passing and want you to know how deeply sorry John and I are at his passing. Skip was an amazing person and he and I were diagnosed with cancer around the same time so I guess that’s why I felt a special bond with him. I will always remember his smiling face and caring ways. May God receive him with open arms and may He bring you much strength and comfort during these sad times.
With our deepest sympathy,
Nancy and John Straw from St. Philip’s
Pat & family,
So sorry to hear of Skip’s passing. Kelli and I worked with him at TPM and we sure had some fun together. He was the one who encouraged me to get confirmed as an adult. He will be very much missed.
God Bless,
Greg Griffith
