Longtime Haddonfield resident passed away Thursday
On Feb. 23, Francis “Skip” Slauson passed away at the age of 62. Slauson, a resident of Haddonfield for over 30 years was a beloved husband of 37 years to Melissa “Missy” W.

Skip was employed by FM Global for 39 years, retiring as Assistant Vice President and Senior Account Engineer. He was very active in Grace Episcopal Church, singing in the Choir, serving on Committees including property & finance, heading the Vestry and at one time chairing the annual Oktoberfest fund drive. Skip loved listening to his son sing, puttering and fixing things in his home, gardening, traveling and fishing — especially at Shadycroft on Lake Champlain.
