Sincerest condolences to the Skov family. Pastor Skov was well loved by our family. Besides being our pastor for many years he was a good friend. We were honored to have him marry 3 of the girls and baptized the youngest girl. He had a great sense of humor and he was such fun to be around. He was an integral part of our lives for many years and he will be sorely missed. Love the Volkov Family

I am blessed that my life has at least sporadically intersected with that of Pastor Skov for the last 55+ years. He was a friend and mentor in my adolescent years, giving counsel, support, and letting me drive his orange Spitfire all the while whupping me in tennis. He has buried my parents, officiated at my wedding, and baptized my daughter. But apart from these special occasions was his ability to just show up for an impromptu visit (especially to my mom after my father died), his presence alone offering comfort and stability. A lovely, lovely man...

My deepest sympathies. Pastor Skov was a cornerstone in my life growing up in East Lyme, Connecticut. He was always there for my family and me, offering warmth, compassion, and unwavering prayers. When my parents passed, he stood by us with immense support. I have vivid memories of him by my mom´s bedside at Lawrence and Memorial Hospital during many difficult times, bringing comfort to her and my dad. Pastor Skov´s kindness and presence will forever be remembered.

To the Skov Family, I'm so sorry to hear of your Dads passing, I will always remember the good times we had when we were kids playing baseball and basketball behind your house on Bush Hill Dr. Your Dad was always fun to talk to, I bumped into him a few times at Walmart and on one of his many walks he had down on Boston Post Road.
Rest In Peace Mr Skov.
