Larry Skinner
 

As your time comes and goes slipping the surly bonds for a living, so do the people in it. Learned of my friend & colleague Captain Lawrence Skinner departing west for his final check this evening. Arrow Air, ATI among many other pursuits & passions. Fine judge of character. Great mate to fly & adventure with. Loving son, husband and father.
Turning a MIA/LAX/MIA run one severe clear Saturday night and here comes Skinner up the stairs grabbing an empty seat to get home. Says I came out here for a set of floats. Looked at the load sheet, they’ll fit in the back no problem. Of course they were each the size of a Hobie cat. Had a hell of a time getting them out to the parking lot. Never met anyone who loved the life more.
