I did not know Shawn well as I only met him at Lucky's when I was shopping. He was always very friendly and helpful. I was shocked to hear of his death. I will miss his friendly smile when I shop at Lucky's. My sympathy for your loss.

Skip, you enriched my life in countless ways and have been one of my very best friends for over 20 years. I will always cherish all of the great times we shared and I am grateful to have had a friend like you, and to have shared that time in my life. It saddens me tremendously that you are gone, but you are only gone in the physical world to me and you will always live on in my life, memories, soul, and my heart. When I think of you, I always picture you smiling. You always had a way to make the best of what you had, and I know that still holds true. Words alone can't describe what you mean to me, you have made a very positive impact on my life and many others. Life will not be the same without you, but I have a lot of positive memories to reflect on and I am very thankful and grateful for that. I Love you, Skip.

Precious Shawn. How lucky we were to have you in our lives, only for too short a time. You were such an example of living life with joy. My heart is sad but then I keep hearing your great chuckle especially when I told you that you were my favorite son. Thoughts and prayers to Dot and Gary.
