We refer to him as Sarah’s Grandpa and we attended the same Taekwondo school as his grand daughter Sarah. Mr. Skidd was such a wonderful person. He was the official photographer at all tests and events, patiently shared all the photos. He also encouraged my sons in their activities, was greatly respected by all in the taekwondo school. He will be always remembered, may his soul rest in peace and may his family have the strength to bear the loss.
