Paul Skogen

CONDOLIENCES

I had the pleasure of working with the Skogen family for many years, and I knew Tom as a witty creative person that went out of his way to welcome and assist new employees. Although it has many years since I´ve seen Tom, I will always miss him.

A memory of Tom, when my mother- in-passed my wife Marilyn found a wast basket that the store had given away at Christmas as a present to customers. She said she wanted to return it to the Skogen´s. We took it to the office ( then on second street) and took it inside where we met with Tom. Marilyn gave it to him saying she wanted to return it to the family. He got that big smile on his face and said he was going to keep it as his very own. He took his old one and put it aside and set it by...

sorry I missed the funeral. Tom was my classmate in high school and a good friend of mine. He will be missed the community lost good person.

My thoughts and prayers to the special Skogen family as you mourn Tom's passing. Tom was always so kind to me and I will forever remember his genuine smile. May his soul rest in peace.

I am so sorry to here of Tom's passing,the Skogens were always so good to me, Tm included! He was especially good to my mother in law Mabel Ford!! your family is in my prayers Sig Olson

In the early 1980's when I was a single parent with a small son I had to make every cent count. My treat of the day was to go to Paul's Pantry for a coffee and a sweet roll. That is where I met Tom. Somehow Tom knew money was tight for me. One Thanksgiving at Paul's Pantry Tom gave me a small ham out of the goodness of his heart. He knew I couldn't afford such a luxury and insisted it was his treat to me and my toddler son. I never forgot that act of kindness. This is the kind of person...

My heartfelt condolences to the Skogen family. Tom was fun to talk with, so good natured. He was truly a joy to know. Blessings on the family.

I have many fond memories of Tom from First Lutheran Church and the church choir. Wonderful man who will be missed by many. My condolences to the family.
