| Skeet was truly one in a million. He was an artist with the earth as his palette. It was as though every day of his life his farm and his tasks were kept in broom swept clean condition. Pristine, beautiful, a true work of art. Anyone who knew him was blessed. A truly great man gone way too soon. Condolences to his loved ones, including his beloved animals. | | from: Marilyn | on: 08-13-2017 |
