ROBERT P. SKINNER
IDAHO FALLS, ID - Robert P. Skinner, 47, of Idaho Falls,
died December 10, 2003, at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center from complications
of surgery. He fought a courageous battle for 6 long weeks before he left
us.
He was born January 3, 1956 in Newport, Washington to Lynn
and Retha Skinner, the sixth of 9 siblings. Though his immediate family
did not reside here in Idaho, his family at Yellowstone Group Homes, since
February 2, 1988, provided him with comforting and compassionate care, especially
the dedicated staff within his group home, nursing and medical professionals
within the community and others who cared for Robert.
Robert's passions in life were music, the louder the better,
& chocolate. His passing has left a great void in our family of residents
& staff who loved him.
Graveside Services will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday, December
17, 2003, at Fielding Memorial Park.
Friends will gather from 1:00-1:45 p.m. at Wood Funeral Home (273 N. Ridge).
