You’ll be greatly missed. RIP Uncle Joe ❤️
Remembering that quirky smile that, as a child always made me think he was up to something. I loved visiting the farm and Joe always took time to showed me something new. In particular how to get up at 5am to milk a cow in sub zero temperatures. It didn’t hurt me but I decided I certainly didn’t want to be a farmers wife. Doug and I send positive energy and our sincere condolences to the entire Skolosh family. God bless you all.
Rest in peace our cousin. Our prayers are with you.
Uncle joe was the nicest guy that I met years ago, I will miss him. My prayers go out to his family, so sorry for your loss🙏🏻
Sending heartfelt sympathy to the whole family. We always considered Joe a dear friend who was a good man, had an ornery sense of humor, always seemed to stay optimistic, liked to dance and have fun, and played a questionable and competitive game of Euchre when we played with him years ago. We know how much his family meant to him. May the Perpetual Light Shine Upon You and may you Rest in Peace, dear friend.
Gods speed Joe ill see you on the other side my friend.
May the Lord comfort you during this sorrowful time. May God Bless Uncle Joe, as we all fondly knew him.
Joe, will be missed, rest in peace old friend !
