Bob Skidmore Creates Agricultural Scholarship at University of Central Missouri in Memory of Lifelong Johnson County Farmers
Wichita, KS - August 27, 2025 - Bob Skidmore, owner of Mr. Handyman of the Wichita Metro Area [https://www.mrhandyman.com/wichita-metro-area/] and 1982 University of Central Missouri alumnus, has established the Clifton and Barbara Skidmore Memorial Scholarship Endowment at his alma mater. The scholarship will support UCM students majoring in Agriculture, honoring the memory of Skidmore's parents, who dedicated their lives to farming and community service in Johnson County.
Clifton and Barbara Skidmore were lifelong farmers in the Bristle Ridge community, where they became known for their commitment to helping first-time farmers establish themselves in the agricultural industry. Their legacy of service and mentorship will now continue through educational opportunities for the next generation of agricultural professionals.
"Establishing this scholarship endowment is a great honor for our family," said Bob Skidmore [https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobskidmore/]. "My parents were the ultimate handymen. They could fix anything, solve any problem, and were always ready to lend a helping hand to their neighbors and fellow farmers. This scholarship ensures their spirit of service lives on."
Bob Skidmore, who graduated from UCM in 1982, recently visited the university campus with his wife, Jo, to formalize the endowment. The scholarship reflects the family's commitment to education and agricultural advancement, values that were central to how Clifton and Barbara Skidmore approached both life and farming.
Mr. Handyman of the Wichita Metro Area continues this tradition of service excellence. Located at 535 N Tyler Rd, the business provides comprehensive home repair and maintenance services throughout the Greater Wichita area [https://www.google.com/search?kgmid=/g/11ckckdnfh]. Under Bob Skidmore's leadership, the company has built a reputation for reliable, professional service that reflects the same work ethic and dedication to helping others that his parents demonstrated throughout their lives on the farm.
The Clifton and Barbara Skidmore Memorial Scholarship Endowment will provide ongoing support for future agricultural leaders who will carry forward the values of hard work, integrity, and community service that defined the Skidmore legacy in Johnson County.
