Fond Memories
Dear Fay, Mark and Joann, You are in our thoughts and prayers during this time of sorrow. Skip was around me all through my younger years growing up in Parkesburg as Skip was my Dad's best friend until Dad passed at age 34, in 1966(Jerry Montgomery) and was loved and special to the whole Montgomery Family. Skip had a sense of humor and was alot of fun to be around. He was one of a kind. Skip will never be forgotten. May God give you His Help, His Strength, and His Hope through the days ahead. I will treasure many, many Fond Memories of Skip. Sad to hear of his passing, but in a better place now and will see him again.
