Evelyn and Bill were the leading force in creating St Barts in Beaverton and their presence will always be felt. Evelyn was always kind and their home a welcome place. I will always have fond memories of having known them.

Dear Skei family. Evelyn and Bill were faithfull members of St. Barts Episcopal Church and good friends of fellow members along with Fred and Phoebe Gayor. Also the Skei's, were serious sailors who cruised on their 44' sailboat to Alaska and Mexico. They were a fun couple that loved adventure together. May God comfort and bless the Skei family.
