My deep sympathy for the loss of Skip. We worked together at Portman's Music and I must say, Skip was inspiring as an extremely talented musician and colleague.

Becky, Laura, Barry and family: life consists of many pains, sorrows, disappointments, trials and tribulations, but it also consists of joy, love, friendship and family. Skip rose above the pain and sorrows, and with the help of a loving family and music, kept his head on straight and his path straight. His aspirations were always for goodness and heavenly pursuits. I know that he and Thad are now singing with the angel’s choir inside the Pearly Gates. I, for one, look forward to hearing him sing and play again. Stay the course. There are many mansions in Heaven. Love transcends time and space and abides eternal in the soul. It’s the only thing we can take with us, and Skip was blessed with an abundance of it! My love to all. May God grant you His peace beyond all understanding. David

Becky and Family, Skip was the epitome of a cousin who was more like a close brother. Many good memories of earlier days on Daffin Drive, where Skip would scare the heck out of us with his infamous UFO stories! I’ll always remember his music and the stories behind the music. Skip, I know you’re up there with Thad, playing music “Savannah Style “!

- Keith Dryden, Monroe, Georgia

So sorry for your loss. Our prayers go to your family in this difficult time! May he rest in peace.

I remember my cousin Skippy as a kind person. I remember he came to stay with my family in Decatur when I was a young girl. I remember he played drums. I think he was about 16 years old at the time. I remember his drum playing was amazing. As a young girl who had a tough time growing up, I felt a kind of kinship with my cousin Skippy, because I felt like he was going through something too. I still have a card with a picture of him and his fellow band members, The Deap Blue. My sincere sympathy goes out to Becky, Skippy's children, his mother Laura, his sister Linda, and his brother Barry. With Love, Donna
