Dear Georgia and Family,
We at The Living Desert will very much miss Ski. As you know, he was a valued, loyal docent and friend for over 25 years. A card is on its way, but I forgot to mention that Ski will be listed on our Volunteer Memorial Garden plaque, along with many of his friends over the years. Our sincere condolences to you all. Ski was in a class of his own and our happy memories of him will live on with everyone who was lucky to know him.

Krzyminski Family,
On behalf of the Bermuda Dunes family of employees this comes as a sad loss. He was a asset to our club and friendly to all who came in contact with him each and every time. Our prayers go out to the family members during this time. If there is anything BDCC can do please don't hesitate to call us. We owe a great debt to "Ski" and his family for all the wonderful years of support.
Best regards,

To the Krzyminski family: I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Ski. I looked through all the pictures in the photo gallery, and as expected, found one of Ski, Bruce & Ted. I can not adequately express what the years at ESCO meant to me. There's not a week of my life that I haven't used a skill or experience gained from the years I was privileged to be part of that team. Please know that Ski, while gone from this earth, will live forever in the hearts of those of us that chanced to be able to call him "friend". Much love to you all. Jim Smith

Our thoughts & prayers are with "Ski's" family. We enjoyed knowing him and one summer we gardened at his office. He impressed our young son with his "Indian" stories. We feel privileged to have known him. Jim & Marty Shupe

Dear Krzyminski Family,
Ski and Georgia have been my friends since the late 60's. We shared our pride for Michigan (Go Blue) and our desire to conquer golf. Ski's wry humor was always accompanied with a twinkle in his eye and a Cheshire cat grin on his face. How fotunate I was to know him.

I had known "Ski" for five years. He was a great man to be around. Always had a joke he wanted to tell, he always talked about his garden, his children and grand children and how happy he was of all of them. Ski will be missed dearly at Orchard Ridge by the members and the also the employees. I will never forget how genuine he was to everyone. It seemed like nothing ever bothered him. I gave him a lesson once, he wanted to hit it farther, It was straight as can be, but it had to go farther. That was a tough lesson. lol He will be deeply missed.
