Skitch was a good friend and a great guy. He loved to talk sports and was a big Dodger’s fan. He was a great American and loved his country. He will be missed.

We will miss seeing Skitch around the neighborhood. When his dog Katie passed away, we knew his heart was truly broken. May he find eternal peace.
