I'll always remember the good times we had at Razorback Plaza in Fayetteville. Rest in peace old friend.
Sorry to hear of his passing.
My mother and Skip were related as second cousins.
I had only recently found Skip and visited with him a few times whenever my wife and I were in Batesville. We enjoyed getting to know him.
I’m saddened by Skip’s passing. My fondest recollection is of the great times I had with him and David Johnston on numerous rabbit hunting trips along canebrakes and a slough at Magness with our beagles Dusty, Nancy and a squirrel dog that couldn’t track rabbits. He used to drive this old car on those trips and after a morning of hunting, we’d just load up the back seat with the wet, muddy, smelly and happy dogs and head back home. He was a good guy.
I am so sorry to lose a classmate who was such a vital part of our school days.
Skip was a school friend that so many of us loved. You will be missed my Friend. Sending love and Prayers to the Family. Rest in Love, Skip!
