Skip was a “jack of all trades” who loved working with his hands in his wood shop, cooking, spending time with his family, riding his motorcycle and helping his neighbors. After his retirement from Lincoln Electric in 2003, he discovered his love of golf and he looked forward to being on the course as much as possible.

Skip remained close with his former wives, Shirley (Robert) Hines and Nancy Ham, and her children, Erin, Dana, and Myla. He is preceded in death by his parents; sister, Roberta Weaver; brother, Robert Smith, and beloved dog Beau, who went everywhere with Skip.
