(Fair Use) |
Known for
giving his all to family, friends and
associates, Skinner had two sterling careers: one
in the Navy, and the other in business.
As a “decorated commander,” he mentored
young people wanting to enlist. As an employer, his door was open to employees and their concerns. As a family
man, he’s been “a rock.”
Recently
diagnosed with glioblastoma (an aggressive
brain tumor), Skinner was told he has six
months to live. Attending the Super Bowl
has long been on his bucket list, so Skinner’s
son got to work. Andrew Skinner
started a GoFundMe page in order to help
fulfill his father’s dream.
Contributions
poured in from far and wide, as well as
from the NFL itself - thus making Skinner’s
dream come true. This is a far greater win
than even the Patriots pulled off.
