Ed, I so wanted to be there to say farewell as you embark on yet a new adventure. Whenever either of my brother’s Tommy or Eddie Skipper would have a family function, you always made me feel like a part of the family. We had alot of good laughs remembering memories of my mother. Thank you for your love of family and service to our country. Thank you for giving so much of yourself to my brothers and making them into the men they are today.
