So many wonderful memories of working and relaxing alongside Skip at Ginger. RIP, brother.
I missed a lot of Skips life and was always proud of him as a brother. I will be missing him terribly. To those who lived him thank for being there
Skip meant a lot to me. We had a lot of long talks and a lot of laughs. I will definitely miss him. I watched him struggle for a long time and tried to be there when ever I could. He was my friend and I loved him.
Skip and I had a lot of talks and I enjoyed the times we were together making s’mores and him telling stories to kids by the campfire. Skip was very dedicated to his local fire department and loved his jobs at Camp Ginger Cascades, and other camps. Skip enjoyed working on his little houses. We had a lot of laughs and also tears along the way but I will never forget our times together. I could always ask Skip do you need anything and he would just say a Pepsi and a small burger. He had several rough years but now I know he is at peace and not suffering any more! R.I.P. Skip
Skip was a man with a big heart. He was always helping out whatever the need at camp and in his community. I remember his grin, his storytelling and his walking stick. He called me Patticake and I called him Skippedo. I always knew when I was at camp he was always around if help was needed, and without hesitation. Rest now, see you, friend.
