Amy Summers wrote a sympathy message

“Sending love on high to the family. Droopy took me in to his hotel room one night after a show when I was touring solo and was not in my right mind enough to find a ride wayyyy back in mid 80’s. He was a tour brother who was always sporting his A’s cap and frequented the fatty zone back in the day. He was a kind welcoming face when we’d touch down on Shakedown Street for a show and I think of him as a part of tour family of the eighties and early nineties when I stopped touring. Sending love 💕”

“Going home, going home, by the water-side I will rest my bones Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul...... Will miss you my brother, many fond memories of touring through out the 80's with you, always loved our deep conversations, and of course your corny jokes. You were a dear friend and I'll forever hold you memory in my heart. Sleep soft brother Skolly”
