Every now and then the Lord sends a special person.
You were certainly one of them.
You and Mary, indeed the whole family were massive parts of my early life and so many others.
We were so lucky to have the opportunity to know such a wonderful man who we all thought of as a second father.
How fortunate we were and what such wonderful days.
We will never forget them.
God Bless you Skip.
