Ellison Bundick Skidmore, 74 MILLSBORO - Ellison Bundick Skidmore, known as " Sonny," age 74, of Millsboro, passed away Monday June 14, 2010, at Cadia Health Care-Renaissance with family at his side. He was born July 11, 1935, in North Hampton County, Capeville, Va. Sonny and his parents moved to Seaford where he first worked at the Dupont Plant. Mr. Skidmore spent most of his career as a telephone repairman with Diamond State Telephone Company until retiring in the 1980's. It was his second career as a fisherman that was his passion and true love. Mr. Skidmore was an avid fisherman who enjoyed being on the water. With the help of his son, Mark Skidmore, he built and captained four charter boats, The Shamrock. Together they ran a deep sea charter boat business out of the Indian River Inlet, North Side for thirteen years. Mr. Skidmore shared many years camping with his family at Cherrystone Campground in Cheriton, Va. where he enjoyed fishing, boating, crabbing and digging for clams and oysters. He is the son of the late Ellison Edgar and Ruby Bundick Skidmore. He is survived by his son, Mark Skidmore of Georgetown; a daughter, Holly Marvel of Georgetown; and five grandchildren, Mark and Matthew Skidmore, Shannon, Kelsey and Michael Marvel. The family would like to thank the staff at the Renaissance and Delaware Hospice for their compassionate care and comfort. Funeral Services will be 11 a.m., Friday, June 18, 2010, in Watson-Yates Funeral Home, Front and King Streets, Seaford, where family and friends may call from 10 to 11 a.m., one hour prior to the services. Burial will be in Odd Fellows Cemetery.
