Aunt Sandy, Chris, Danny & Nattie, My prayers are with all of you in this time of sorrow. It saddens me deeply at the loss of my sweet Uncle. I will always remember him as a kind, gentle soft spoken man. God must have needed another Angel to watch over us. I love you all and pray that every day gets a little easier for you all. Will miss you Uncle Ricky, love you! Love Cathy

My dear, dear brother. It is still very hard for me to believe you have left us. I remember so many things when you were little. You were a bit of the renegade and always challenged life. I am reminded of Frank Sinatra's theme song, "I Did It My Way" and you always did it your way. Words can not express the loss we all feel. My heart and prayers go out to Sandy, Chris, Danny, Natalie, Diane, Debbie and Nick. You leave a beautiful legacy in your children and grandchildren.
Miss you deeply Richard . Love Gloria

My thoughts and deepest sympathies to the Skurat family. I worked with Rich many years ago at GI Apparel. I can honestly say he was one of of the best bosses I had in my working career. He was fair and a complete gentleman. May he rest in peace.

I shall miss you my brother, as we all will. We had some great times together during the course of our lives. I shall miss our occasional breakfast get-togethers at "The Starving Artist" and "the Turning Point" followed by our long walks and gab sessions. Unfortunately, we never got to do the last one that we had planned on. I shall miss our intense discussions (sometimes heated?) and our family get-togethers, especially during the holidays. But above all, I shall miss your presence. When we were growing up Mom and Dad said I had to watch after my "little brother" because "Mom always liked you
best". Now it's your turn to watch out for me (and all of us). I will miss you immensely. May you know eternal peace and happiness and bask in the warmth of God's presence. Rest in peace, my brother. I love you.
Your loving brother,
Johnnie

Thinking of you all. Praying for you. He was such a good man. Will always remember car pooling to St. Agnes with your Dad driving and a.m. talk radio being on! Love to your family!

Sandy...I am so sorry. Jerry and I were talking about how much my parents enjoyed your gourmet dinners and your company. It's such a shame that families live so far apart now-a-days.
