 (Svc Ctr Supv.) (President of the Kermodei Club, Telephone Pioneers, to 1978) (retired May 1, 1981)  Skips funeral was on Dec 23, 1986 at the Alliance Church in Terrace.  He came to Terrace in 1945 after his discharge from the Canadian Armed Forces. He was employed by the Dominion Government Telephone and Telegraph Company (DGTT) at Rosswood, BC.  In 1947 he moved to Terrace with his wife Sylvia, nee Bushell.  BC Tel took over DGTT in the 50's and he worked for BC Tel until he retired in 1981.  He was known as "Mr. Telephone" to the early residents.  What I remember the most about this gentle giant, was his handshake, and his way of greeting you, by gripping your shoulder.  He had the most powerful handshake of anyone I have ever met.  And he could put you to your knees in seconds with a grip on your shoulder, that would almost paralyze you.  Tougher than nails.  But a real nice guy.  Never hear one man or woman say a bad thing about Skip.  For years they lived in a small house SW corner of Molitor and Keith Ave. Empty lot in 2017.
