Please accept my condolences. Skip and I were members of the Belleville South Bassmasters and fished together a few times. He was a great sportsman and fishing partner. It was an honor to have known him.

My prayers are with the family. Skip was always so kind to my twin sister Shelley and me. I have fond memories as a young teen of visiting with the Hamiltons.
