For those who knew Skip

My apologies if this has been previously submitted. 

We would often ask about Skip up to just  what seems like right up to his passing.

 

Yes , it looks like our dear friend and great member of our community passed away last August.

Something made me look up Skip today. First I looked up Rolling Rock Beer , because that was Skip’s brand. Yes , the did bring it back and it’s still on the market. 

Skip , Godspeed brother ! Green number 33 I will surely raise to you next chance I get.

Way too young.

Wow, thanks for the update. I never knew him, and don't remember the last time I saw him post, but he certainly was a regular in my early USMB days. Sorry to hear that.

Wow...  There are still a few of the big name members from when I first joined kicking around here, but it seems like an equal number have passed away since then as well.

Thanks, Paul.  RIP Skip.

Thanks for the Subaru love Skip. 

I remember him citing people for run on sentences on the forum that were hard to follow and had too many details to keep track as it is a bit more difficult to follow on the internet on half moon cloudy days during the spring. 

Similarly I also remember him asking people. 

To use more spacing between thoughts. 

Use more breaks to space things out and make it simpler to follow.

Ive taken a lot of his grammatical advice and think of him when I hit “enter”, but mostly I appreciate his Subaru help and early adopter of the community attitude.  Very cool.  

Cheers Skip
