Skip and I worked together at Huntsman Chemical many years ago. He was a wise cracking, funny man who was easy to work with and nice. I also enjoyed seeing him and talking to him most recently at our Retiree Lunches. Praying for Phillis, Shawn and the rest of his family and close friends for their peace and comfort at this sad time. I am glad he is no longer suffering. Lorrie
A fantastic friend and neighbor, will be truly missed. Great memories of our times together either at work or play will forever be in our hearts. Rest in peace, Skip.
Phillis, Shawn, and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Skip was truly one of a kind. He possessed great common sense and knew how to get things done. His heart was big and his wit was sharp. What a privilege it was to know and work with him, and most importantly, be his friend. I’ll always have great memories of Thursday nights at the bowling alley and just how enjoyable he was to be around.
