Skinny was an original Island County Sheriff's Posse member, helping to start the horse club in 1952. Being an accomplished and gifted horseman, he never had to ask a horse twice for the response he wanted. He joined the Skagit County Sheriff's Posse when he moved off the island. He held the pony express state record for the fastest time. He served as State Sheriff's Posse president. He rode his last race at age 56 after 31 combined years with the Posse. He shared his love for horses with his children and friends. Skinny had many interesting jobs in his life. He worked as a self-employed logger and supervisor and ran bulldozer for Buster and Ester Craig, building many roads on Whidbey Island as well as a driver for Oak Harbor Freight Lines. In 1964, he began a career at NAS Whidbey as a fireman, continuing his Civil Service as a heavy equipment/crane operator. The last two years, he went back to being a fireman, until retiring in 1989. He married Beatrice Denimes on Feb. 29, 1992. They enjoyed fishing, clamming, camping with family and gardening. He loved dressing up as Grandpa Santa for his beloved grandchildren.
