Father Skupien will be sincerely

missed by my family and myself. He

was a wonderful friend, who you can

always count on. I hope that he meets Tony in heaven and they have a

good baseball game.

Father Ed was the epitomy of what a Catholic priest should be - reverent and revered,soft-spoken and wise. His love for our parish, and commitment to its people will never be felt again. He was one in a million! I mourn that my children will probably never meet a man of his caliber to guide their souls. He was very much loved - a kind man with a gentle soul. I am forever grateful for his presence in my life.
