With Skip it was always about others. Conversations with Skip almost always started with him asking you something about yourself, or something you did recently. Always positive, he was fun to talk to. In skydiving, Skip would often offer to just video your jump. Always helpful with new jumpers, a very skilled belly flier yet loved to freefly. Skip bridged all the gaps. Skip had the gift of gab like no other. Whenever he told a story, all you wanted to do was listen. It's hard to explain what a unique individual Skip was, words just won't do it. A mentor and a friend, I will never forget Skip.
