"Skip was one of the warmest, most real people I ever met, inside or outside of the music business. When Skip's name comes up in conversation with anyone who knew him, a smile always appears on everyone in the room. If you look up "cool" in the dictionary, you will see Skip's picture. He could make you laugh till you cried and make you think about music and life in general in a whole different way. His presence in our world made it a better place." -Bobo
