Skeeter died at age 60. Longevity mustn’t be a family trait.
RIP.

Sure enjoyed Skeeter. Can't say I recall ever reading anything penned by Bart.

I seem to recall reading that Skeeter's wife already had Bart, he being a very young child, when Skeeter met her. So, no Skelton genetics there. Not to say that they were not family. I don't think Skeeter had any blood children, but I could be mistaken. BTW, Skeeter did not die of natural causes, but from a complication from a gall bladder surgery. No idea what Bart may have died from. Bart did write at least one book that I am aware of, but I cannot recall the name of it. I have it here somewhere. While he was a pretty good writer, he was no Skeeter, but so very few are. Very sorry to hear of his death. I do hope that he was at peace with the world.

I enjoyed his writing, what little their was of it.

Used to read him in one of the gun rags, Shooting Times or Guns and Ammo.
He was trying to fill his dad's shoes, but just was not quite as good as the "old man" although I did enjoy his writing.
Sad he passed so young.
