James E. Skarda

The "Mayor of South Omaha". I'll always remember you like that for your never ending celebration of all the places and people we knew growing up and living in the South O of the 50s and 60s especially. I'll always remember the many hunting trips we took to Fort Rob, Red Lake, Ontario, Lake Michigan, the Nebraska Sandhills and always the pheasant fields of home. Fellow Vietnam vet, beer drinker and true friend. If you ain't in Heaven I ain't going!

My thoughts and prayers are with the family R.I.P. Jim you were a good man

Met Jimmy at Kelloggs in the 90's I believe. Great Brother and always positive. He taught me patience, don't let them Win Mike.

I think we first met Skad when him and my brother Delbert got out of the Marines. I thought of Skad as another big brother. He was always fondly welcomed in the Coomes household. My parents, everyone really, thought the world of him; what a wonderful family friend he was all these years. I hope he and Del have met up again in heaven. Another great person gone too soon.

Skad, been a good friend all these years, behave up there Bob Waszgis

Prayers go out to Jim's family Jim and I were good friends growing up hanging out at Morton Park attending St. Mary's and South high to this day we would always call or text each other to say hello and talk about old times I can say he always would call me on my Birthday. Not only Jim was a Great guy he was a good Union Man and Truly a great Patriot RIP my friend and see you on the other side

I will miss you brother see you on the other side Spanky

Semper Fi my brother

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
