    George and I were classmates at St. Fidelis High School. Even though we were in different homerooms and quite a spread between “B” and “Z” as many times we were grouped alphabetically, I always found George to be quite humorous and willing to help where he could. My deepest sympathy to Debbie and their children and families! I am keeping you all in prayer!

  • Paulette Jendrejewski

    I knew Skip well, as we shared our Christian faith together. He was a good man who I never heard say a mean word about anyone. I will miss him.

  • Stef McLaughlin

    Skip was a joy to many people, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him at GSPIA . God’s comfort and peace to all his family and friends who will sincerely miss him.

  • Kevin P. Kearns

    I am so terribly sad to receive this news. Skip was a conscientious professional and warm and generous colleague. He had a wonderful sense of humor and I remember fondly a song he composed and performed with his guitar for one of our annual holiday lunches. It was simply hilarious and had all of us laughing. My sincere condolences to Skip’s family. I regret that I cannot attend the viewing tomorrow but please know that Skip left a positive imprint on the entire GSPIA community.

  • Louise Comfort

    Sincere condolences to Skip’s family. I remember with fondness his many contributions to GSPIA, and also for hosting the coffee maker in his office where faculty could stop by and get a quick cup of coffee and a smile and word of welcome from Skip. He was a steady, gracious presence in the School and will be remembered fondly.
