In 1972, he became the General Manager of Big Soo Terminal until his retirement in 2001. Over the years Skip participated in many community activities including the United Way, CCAT board, Sertoma Club and the Sioux City School District Building Oversight Committee. Skip was an avid sports fan watching his children and grandchildren's athletic events as well as Morningside College basketball and his beloved Iowa State Cyclones. He was happiest either in his yard or garden, on the golf course or traveling with friends and family. Skip easily engaged in conversation with anybody he would meet. He had an easygoing nature and loved to tease.
