Roger (Skok) Charles Little

I appreciate the reminder of Skok´s passing. I have had occasion this week to remember the time we spent on the Housatonic, and remember fondly. I hope the intervening years have been kind to his loved ones.

I come late to the sad realization that Skok is gone. He and Peggy have always been very warm and inclusive toward Myra and I. We shared a love of music and historic architecture. We will miss his conversations and good humor.

I grew up with Skok, was his neighbour and went to High School with him. He was always talented and smart. I particularly remember Latin class with Mrs. Dobbins. Right from an early age he talked of being a lawyer and he was gentle and brilliant. I was so sorry to lose touch with Skok and his sisters who have meant so much to me. Bridget, Mindy, Rebecca and I played together a lot as children. -along with my sister Carol- We spent lots of time together. Skok was a great baseball...

I am saddened to hear of Skok's passing and remember well his calm demeanor while co(a)xing us through rough waters. His bio is wonderful.

Very sorry to learn of Skok's passing. He was a true Renaissance man, and will be sorely missed. My heartfelt sympathy to his family.

Skok played a leading role in captaining the Yale heavyweight crew under quite difficult circumstances - for both the crew and for Yale - in the late '60s, but my fondest memories since then are of Skok and Peggy lighting up the dance floor with wild abandon at reunions over the past half century. A life very well lived, and lost far too soon. RIP, Skok, and Peggy, my deepest sympathies to you and your family.

I was captain of the lightweight crew when Skok was captain of the heavies. I have vivid memories of racing between heavies and lights in the fall and early spring, and of the occasional soccer match in the fall. It was a tumultuous time for Yale rowing and Yale in general. I find it very comforting to read that he had a full life that found so many outlets for his talents and his pleasant disposition. Please accept my condolences.

Very sorry to hear about your loss.

Skok was a great guy, a straight arrow, but with a hilarious sense of humor at times. What a loss!
