My condolences to the Skojeck family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
My big brother so hard to believe you are gone. When I was little I was his tag along and I am sure a pain in the neck, but as we grew older he always encouraged me as did his wonderful bride Linda they were both such a great example of love and support , they always were looking to help bring out the best in each other and in all they met. Brother I pray for the repose of your soul you are forever in my heart. Rest in the Lords arms as you have lived a good life , endured thorough all the trials and tribulation of this world and now be at peace for all eternity.
