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
