Not sure what to say?

I miss my brother. He was my voice of reason. I miss my brother.

Dear brother in heaven, it´s been 15 years since your passing. It feels as devastating now as it did then. I´m doing my best to keep spirits up, but I think of you and how badly you´re missed and I cry. I love you, John.

john was my brother and i am proud to have been his sister. he was genuinely the nicest person i have ever known and the world will not be the same without him. our family misses him dearly.

I was lucky enough to grow up with this family...He will truly be missed....Shawn and Molly

I am so sorry to hear of John's passing. I remember meeting him in my class with John Garret at Arrowmont in '99 at HGA's Basketry Conference. I recall him givng away bunches of his laminate pieces to anyone who wanted some. Take care.

In our lives we, sometimes, are blessed with extraordinary gifts. John Skau was such a gift for me when I took his class at North Country Studio Workshops in Vermont this year. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I will never forget this gentle giant of a man.

To Judy and his sons, Eric and Drew, may the precious memories you share keep your hearts light with love. And, to the world appreicate the beauty of his art.

Our hearts are so sad. Our son Brian went to school with Eric. We were shocked when we read it in the paper. Please know our thoughs and prayers are with you. The Craig McCormick Family

We met John only a few times, but he was a warm and friendly man. Besides his beautiful work, his grace and integrity live on through his sons and his incredibly loving family, whom we have come to know. Our thoughts are with Erik and the rest of John's family.
