• A dear friend for many years. John. And John( my husband ) both were employed for MJ Roofing for many many years, and became life long friends. After my husband passed on, John's advice in some matters was great to me, and him and Angie always kept in contact with me. He truly will be missed by those of us that were accustomed to his kind nature, and smile. - Posted by: Linda sokil (Friend ) on: Feb 05, 2015

• Dear Uncle Johnny You were my Mom Mabel's little brother and the bond you shared with her and our family was beyond special. You were good to all of us and we shall miss you so much. We shared many laughs at my expense of course with your constant teasing! All the memories of love and laughter in your beautiful back yard at family barbecues and at our cottage. I will never forget my tag along trip to Mexico, and watching you and my Mom jump the ocean waves like two kids. Rest in peace! We will take care of Angie and hold your memories forever in our hearts. I may have to take up bird feeding in your honor. And of course continue to talk too much! Love you! Forever and always from One of your favorites, Lynda xo - Posted by: Lynda Shaw (Neice) on: Feb 04, 2015

• I only knew John for a few years. I am a hairstylist in Winnipeg Beach and had the pleasure of cutting John's hair. When he first starting coming to the shop he would always walk in, which was quite normal for men. However he continued to walk in every time he wanted a haircut, I got to know him pretty well, I would consider him a regular. But I felt super bad because I never knew his name. So one day he walks in and says to one of the girls I need a haircut, and she says can u come back in about a half hour, he agreed, so she says can I get your name. I was thinking in my head perfect now I'll know his name. But John's response to the girl was don't worry what my name is I'll be here. So eventually I finally got the nerve to ask him what his name was. He wouldn't tell me. So it was kinda something we laughed about. One day I was at the shop, being the kind man he was, he brought some magazines for us to put out at the shop. I started putting the magazines out and there in the corner was his name. So the next time he walked in my first response was good morning John, he smiled and said how did u find that out? I told him his good deed gave him away. My condolences to his family, he was always a pleasure to see and his smile will be missed! Rest in peace John. - Posted by: Lisa Krochenski (Hairstylist) on: Feb 03, 2015

• Shelley and Family, I am so very sorry to hear of your dad's passing. A very caring man who loved to laugh and spend time with his family. We got to know Mr. Skoryk through his daughter Shelley. Shelley and I became good friends at a young age, there was a group of us girls that all grew up together who Mr. Skoryk always watched over, keeping us on track to making positive decisions. Always encouraging us to be good, go to school and follow your dreams. And had many, many laughs as well. As we all got older, we would meet Shelley and her family at her Dad and Angie's in Winnipeg Beach every summer, and I recall one of our conversations where he told me how proud he was of his whole family, with a big smile on his face saying my kids and grandkids are all married with families of their own, all set in their careers, I am so proud of them All. He was very much a family man, and so kind and caring with a great sense of humor, he smiled often and always seemed so at peace. One memory I will always remember is when my mother had passed away and I was at my mom's funeral crying in such grief and Mr. Skoryk was walking from a distance towards me, giving me a big hug and very comforting words. What an amazing man and he will be greatly missed. Shelley and family my thoughts and prayers are with you all, may you find peace in knowing how he was so proud of you all and knew you were all in good hands. You All have a very special angel smiling and watching over you all. RIP Mr. Skoryk - Posted by: Shelly Norris (Friend) on: Feb 03, 2015

• Skoryk Family - I will always remember the great one on one conversations I've had with John throughout the years. He always gave 100 percent of his attention to you and would comment to others to stop using their distracting devices so much. John and Angie loved to use their travel trailer and frequented my parents home often for John loved camping, barbeques and family time. He was an extraordinarily kind soul, who loved to laugh. His radiant smile was contagious too! Thank you John for bringing so much joy into our lives and for your compassionate nature towards my ailing mother. God Bless you John; our hearts weep for the loss of such a beloved gentle man :) - Posted by: Shawna Thomas (Shelley (Randy) sister-in-law) on: Feb 03, 2015

• We got to know John years ago when his first wife, Norma, was my dearest friend in Neepawa. John was such a nice guy and even though Norma and him had their troubles I will never forget him. Kim (Doug) was my daughter Heather's best friend when they were kids. Love, peace and comfort to the whole family. - Posted by: bernie and irene driedger (friend) on: Feb 03, 2015

• Dear Jason and family, Sorry to see John pass away so young, he was a lot of help to me when I worked at MJR. He was a mentor and a friend and I loved teasing him about his messy office. I once saw him eating a sandwich I asked did you bring me one? he said no but you can have a bite of mine, so I did, John said I didn't think you'd do that. LOL RIP John, Ron - Posted by: Ron Breland (Friend) on: Feb 03, 2015
