William Moss Redmond, Jr. (Skip) passed away in Lexington, Kentucky, on June 20, 2023.  Skip was born on August 1, 1947, and attended the Mount Sterling public school system, graduating as a proud Trojan in 1965.  He then matriculated at Transylvania University, receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1969.  While at Transy, Skip was a member of the golf team, and served as sports information director, a basketball manager, and as an active member of Delta Sigma Phi fraternity.  Skip continued to support his alma mater after graduation, serving on numerous college and fraternity reunion committees and as a member of the Alumni Advisory Board.

After graduation from college, Skip earned a Master of Arts Degree from the University of Kentucky, served in the army reserves and taught in the Fayette County School System before working for over twenty years as an agent for the Internal Revenue Service.  After retirement form the IRS, Skip continued as a tax consultant until shortly before his death, aiding many in resolving complicated tax problems and issues.

Skip married the love of his life, Ann Pennington Franklin (Pennie) on August 16, 1969.  Skip and Pennie have one child, Wesley Redmond, who also resides in Lexington.

Skip was an excellent golfer, a duly-certificated private pilot, a faithful member of the Crestwood Christian Church, as well as a member of the First Families of Kentucky, the Magna Carta Society, the Order of Charlemagne, the Thoroughbred Club, and treasurer of the Kentucky Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution.  Skip also served for many years as a volunteer fireman.

To those who knew him best, Skip was possessed of a quick mind and a wonderfully dry sense of humor.  He never forgot his many friends from childhood, secondary school, college, and later in life, and was always a lover of cats and dogs wherever they might be found.

We all value Skip's presence in our lives and mourn his loss.  The world will be a grayer and far less interesting place without him.

Little though it might be, Pennie and Wes can take solace in a life well and faithfully lived, a wide and supportive circle of friends, and the assured promise of an eternal life.

A memorial service will be held at Taul Funeral Home, Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, on Thursday, June 29, at 1:00 Pm, with a private burial to take place at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to Crestwood Christian Church, 1882 Bellefonte Drive, Lexington, Ky 40503, the Transylvania University Scholarship Fund, 300 N. Broadway, Lexington, KY 40508, or the Montgomery County Fire Department, Mt. Sterling, KY 40353.
