Mrs. Skelton and Family, Mr. Skelton will be greatly missed. He will most surely be remember by many as a pillar of this community. But above all he will be remembered for the kind, friendly, loving, and wonderful man that he was. Words will never be enough to say what kind of influence a Man like that could have on young person growing up. I can remember even when I was young he always had a smile and never missed the chance to say hello. Family rest assured that you will be with him again one day in that heavenly place. God Bless you and be with you in this time of need and know that Mr. Skelton loved you all so very much.

Donnie was so special to us. We have never driven our "67" chevell without thinking of him as he sold it to Harold in "67" and we still drive it today. Donnie and Dean also had a booth in my parents flea market where they both could keep you laughing while looking at the wonderful things they sold. Donnie's smile was infectious and will always be remembered. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you all. Harold and Allyne Bottoms

My prayers are with your family at this time of great loss. But one day we will see our loved ones in heaven. My Mother, Hazel Foley Fidler Bond use to take me to the Crescent store. In fact we bought the dress I was married in from the store. I always loved going in there, we were always treated like family. I loved Elton, he always made us feel like family. I am sure I have seen Don, but would need to see a picture of him. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
