He is survived by his step-daughter Donna Schiebel and step-son Donald (Doris) Starner. He was the beloved grandfather to Brian Schiebel, Kimberly, Megan and Daniel (fiancée Bridget) Starner and special puppy grandad to Maddie. Also surviving are his brother Joe Pat Carpenter and sisters Patsy McCaughin and Diane (Willard) Baker, Brother-in-law Bill Gale and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was predeceased by his father (3/3/62), mother Theresa (1/13/98), wife Nancy (2005), step-son-in-law Raymond Schiebel and sister Terry (11/2/18).

The family would like to thank the staff, nurses and CNA’s at Elderwood for their kindness and care he received, also Bill Gale for the excellent care he gave Skip after the stroke. There will be no services at this time. He will be put to rest in Buffalo at Elmlawn Cemetery next to his beloved wife Nancy.
