John Skold

John was a young man who had goals to reach during his career in all facets of the State Fair Grounds and will be remembered by his great leadership! his most successful career

Thoughts and prayers sent for his family . I met John working with him at the State Fair. He was a nice guy and fun to work with. I knew Helen Wadhams family for many years. My grandmother was good friends with her and worked with her.

All the comments about John being a great guy are true. I knew him somewhat in high school but really got to know him thru horse racing at the fairgrounds where I did some radio work before moving to Las Vegas in 1989. He and I shared the love and appreciation for great music. This I know: The musical singing group, Manhattan Transfer, lost its #1 fan when John died. RIP friend John!

During college I was on the summer grounds crew at the fairgrounds. All the people in the front office were wonderful and I am especially grateful to John and Helen Wadhams for being more like friends than managers.

Our Mothers were good friends and I was a class mate of his wife . I would see John at the Fair and. horse races and he always said hello. My condolences to his family
