Randa zollinger wrote a sympathy message

“Skellie was always an important part of my life ever since he came to Tavares High school to teach. He was very funny, kind, impish, and the ultimate gentleman. He was in on every prank, game, fun, as well as helping to solve serious issues in everyone's life. He will be more than missed. He was a force in my life and that of countless others. I love you, Skellie!”
