Skip was a lifelong upper valley resident- who was very dedicated to the volunteer Fire Department in which he served for 35 years. He was an avid race fan, who rarely missed the green flag. He enjoyed tinkering in his work shop, building new things, fixing different things around the house even if they didn't need fixing, and always willing to help anyone who needed anything done. After Skip's retirement from both the State of Vermont and Vermont Army National Guard, he made regular trips to "check in on the boys" and see what was new.
