Skip, Thank You for everything – your friendship, advice, support though good / bad times, & occasional “Nickel Holding Up A Dollar” teasing! You will be missed. Rest In Peace. “True friends are the ones who never leave your heart, even if they leave your life for a while. Even after years apart, you pick up with them right where you left off, and even if they die they're never dead in your heart.” – Unknown Author
