All of my interaction at Wake Forest over 37 years has been nothing but first class. Having Skip Prosser represent all of us as Alumni in the fashion that he did was terrific. We will all remember him as a Gentleman and professional!!

My wife and I had the wonderful opportunity to meet your husband/father Skip during his first months as Coach when he came to Wilmington for a local Deacon Club event. We were very impressed then and became even more impressed up until his recent death.
He was a blessing from God to our wonderful University and will be sorely missed. He is now in a better place but still being the ole Skip. Our thought and prayers are with you and yours.

I heard Coach Prosser tell a crowd at a Caldwell County Hospice fundraiser that in life, like basketball, you either did soemthing, or you did not. He was a doer.

We were proud to have Coach Prosser at Wake Forest. He was not only a great coach and a man of integrity but also a person who epitomized what Wake Forest represented in the community. He was admired and left his mark on everyone whether they met him personally or not.

I had followed Coach Prosser's career since he was coaching at Loyola. I lived in Baltimore at the time and was impressed by his success there and his subsequent success at Xavier. I think I may have been the most excited alum out there when he was hired. His infectious smile and positive personality will be missed greatly. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

What a tragic loss. Thank you for the many wonderful memories you have given Demon Deacon fans. When I was going through chemo in 2005, going to Wake basketball games gave me so much joy and would let me forget entirely about cancer for at least 2 hours, especially when we beat Carolina. Thank you and we will miss you greatly.

Although I never met Coach Prosser personally, he seemed to be everything that the Wake Forest family strives to represent. He brought a much-needed spirit and energy to our basketball program, and his candor was as refreshing as it was honest. I hope that we are as fortunate with whomever takes on the challenge of filling his shoes.

My sincerest sympathy to your family. Having been affiliated with Wake Forest since Greason was coach, and medically involved with Tacy and Odum, the loss of a coach who was such a valuabe member of the Wake Forest family is deeply felt by our family and all "Old WF Grads". Our prayers are with you

As a Cincinnatian and a Wake Forest alum, I express my very deepest sympathy to the Prosser family and friends, as well as to the Wake community. Cincinnati loves college basketball, and Coach Prosser gave people a reason to love it even more. Indeed, we have lost a great man.

I feel as if I experienced Skip's death firsthand. As I was entering the Wake campus to watch our son at basketball camp, an ambulance passed by me at Worrell Professional Center. As I pulled to the side, I could see a paramedic performing CPR in the back of the vehicle. I later learned that that was most likely Skip as they took him to Baptist. I replayed that scene over and over.
Our son won the "hot shot" contest for the ACC at camp. He and Skip exchanged several "high fives" after Skip finished his run and Robert shared his success with him. Robert,at age 11, sensed what a great, approachable guy Skip was.
Finally, my brother played college ball at Holy Cross. As he was being recruited, the coaches would often come to our home for a visit. I remember my parents lableling the coaches as "good" ones and "bad" ones. I know that Skip's visit would have created a third category - "great" ones. Our family wishes the Prosser family all of the best. God Bless.

My Dad played for WFU in the middle 50's at the old campus- I played in the late 60's (JV) at the new campus. Skip was not only a good coach but a good man, and, as the saying goes, good men are hard to find. He will surely be missed -- not only by those who love Wake but by anyone who knew him!!
