    Skip was my mom & dad's insurance agent for over 35 years. He was ALWAYS there for them in worst times of damages, storms, car accidents, etc. Skip was always a gentleman and honest and truthful to his core. My parents rightfully relied on his professionalism, judgement, and advice over many years. My brother and I thank him for his years of dedicated service to our family. Skip is in our thoughts and prayers. Jim & John Vallone, Crofton MD, and Steubenville Ohio
