Skip - what a positive legacy you leave in your service to our country, quality teaching of the next generation, unique preservation of our nation's history, and most importantly -- a strong and loving family. Well done, Sir!

Coach, there are people who come into your life and forever change it. I was so fortunate to have you as a teacher a mentor and a friend. Thank you for not telling me how to live, but showing me instead. Blessings Coach.

Col. Tyler completely changed the way I understood the immense sacrifices of our military. My eyes filled with tears at a Veteran’s Day assembly at HRA as he spoke. Thank you for your honesty, your service and your kindness!

Thank you to everyone for your kind comments, thoughtful help, and prayers. We are so grateful that he's not in pain, and we can have this special time with Skip. He's been a wonderful father, husband, soldier, and friend.
