It is great saddness that I learned of the death of your Father George. As a neighbor on Colonel Perry Drive, I was priviledged to be recipient of many, many jokes by the master of joke-a-day. He made all smile. Pat and George gave you all a wonderous sense of life and adventure. They also entertained all the neighborhood with gatherings on special days of the year.If we had a need, they were there (mainly on snow days). Be well, happy and know that he is looking down on what you do for all you come in contact with.

Joel, Jill, Judy, and Jeff,

I was so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing.  Some of my best memories growing up are times spent at your Parents house with your family.  Thank you for sharing.  Your Parents many times looked out for me, and treated me like a member of the family.  They were wonderful and generous people, and the world will not be the same without them.  My family will keep you in our prayers.

Dear Skeele family,
It was always so fun going to your house....spending the night with the goldens and your dad's funny smile.  I remember all of us crammed in the kitchen while he cooked for us.
And the way his face lit up when talking about traveling was also a memory. I am sorry for your loss.

Dear Judy, Jill, Jeff and Joel,

I have wonderful memories of the years when we lived in Kar Mel Village.  We lived around the corner on Merton Dr. and I recall  all  the fun times spent playing cards with your mom and dad or enjoying your backyard barbeques.  They were the most gracious hosts and It was always a good time for all.  I was so sorry to read of your dad's passing and want to extend to you my deepest sympathies.  You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Joel,
I am so sorry to read of your father's passing.  I still had hopes of a full recovery.  It's a tough time for you, and I hope that you know that I'm here if you need to talk.  I can still picture your parents in the kiddie pool they had in their back yard cooling off on that hot summer day.  
Your friend!

Dear Judy, Jill, Jeff and Joel,
Unfortunately, medical reasons keep me from being with you at this time.  I remember your Dad fondly with his laughter and our many visits to your grandparents and your house.  You all are in my prayers.
Love
Kathy Newsome Schneider and family

Growing up across the street from the Skeele family, one of my most favorite memories is from Halloween.  As kids we all knew that he was hiding inside the front door of the house just waiting to jump out and "pop" his false teeth out at us.  I also remember him teaching any of the neighbor kids basic photography, including developing the pictures we had taken.  I will always cherish my memories of him.
