Sad days..tears, Skip was a influence as a new writer, and being privy to many of his works in progress, he was priceless and this hurts.
My father. My children’s grandfather. My friend.
by Jessi Clarkson, Skip’s daughter.
You haven’t heard from my father in a while. He has been absent from this blog for health reasons.
My sweet father passed away this Monday approximately 1:00 AM. My sisters and I gathered around his hospital bedside and held his hand as he slipped away into the immortal atmosphere.
My family recognizes that there are quite a few of you who have befriended my dad here on this site. Therefore, I would like to keep you updated with more stories that we find of his and his songs, poems, and musings.
We are all so sad to lose such a creative and loving person in our life.
I will be posting the treasures we find, old and new, if he meant for them to be public, here on this site. May you be comforted as I am…

I am very sorry for your loss my dear friend. I don’t think I’d come across him in the blogosphere, but we do make good friends over the ether.
Rest in peace Skip.

I’m sending my condolences. Blogging is like one big family and I understand that this can be just as emotional as losing someone we once knew in person. This has happened to me before, so you have my empathy ❤

Thank you Kumar, but this was a reblog. Skip was a blogger and author friend who was one of my first followers. His stories were creative and suspenseful for a few. I, too send prayers for healing to his daughter and family.

Thanks Tre, he was a cool character…one of my first followers and an excellent short story and children’s book crafter. Sad, indeed, and I hope his treasure trove of tales bring his family solace for the future. Thank you, I pray I, too, am remembered many years from now, by someone I influenced as a beginner.💜
