John R. Vaskis, 65 of Mt. Pleasant, SC, born in Brooklyn, NY died suddenly Tuesday February 16th at home. With a Master's degree in Oceanography and a career spent as a Project Manager of residential homes in Maryland and Virginia, John was the ultimate handyman who could build or fix anything. He enjoyed spending as much time as possible on the beaches with family and friends. He also enjoyed barbequing, camping, working on cars, and bike riding. He cherished his son John Robert Jr. and looked forward to their time together cheering on the Clemson Tigers. Surviving along with his son John, are his mother Anne, sisters Barbara, Joan and Judy, brothers Jerry and Fran along with 2 nieces and 5 nephews. Family will receive friends to celebrate John's life on April 1, 2016, 6:30pm at 6600 Palmetto Drive, Isle of Palms, 29451.

A Memory from 1970's. John and I were wading in the ocean at dusk at a beach in Rhode Island. I saw lights around my waist, as if I had a skirt made of many tiny lights. John knew what this phenomenon was - "bio-luminescence" ocean plankton that were drawn to me and are luminescent.
