I have known John and Ginger for many years.He was so funny and with his dry sence of humor. Everytime we got to gather it was nothing but happy times and laughter.If you got hurt he would say dust youself off and go do it again. Dam woman.John and Ginger were there for their friends and it was a friendship I treasured for years even if we haven't seen each other in a whie. I will miss him soooo!! much and the goofey way he told a story. He was a mans man and had to do things his way. Most of the time was the right way me and Ginger just would't listen. I guess in our old age I really miss being as close as we were. But the friendship was there and will be there forever. All my love and prayers go out to you and if I can help in anyway please let me know. Donna Pruett Pierce

Sending prayers of healing to the Skinner Family. Although, we did not know each other well. Mr. SKinner and Mrs SKinner helped us get our tractor unstuck years back, willing to help without asking for a favor in return. I enjoyed driving past The Skinner place and watch them work on their land and make it the beautiful place that it is today. We are truly sorry for your unexpected loss, Jimmy and Angela Kochwelp
