With sadness, we announced on Sunday that our brother +Robert (Bob) Skirkanich has fallen asleep in Our Lord, on Friday, March 29. Bob was a beloved member of our community for many decades, and will be dearly missed by all of us. For a prolonged period, he suffered with severe illness which he bore with grace. May he be an example to us, and may his memory be eternal!
We will gather as a community to bear him onwards with prayer on Thursday, April 4, with a memorial service (panikhida) at 6:00 PM, here at St. Andrew’s.
At Bob’s family’s request, his funeral will be held on Saturday, April 6, at St. John the Baptist Church in Bridgeport, Connecticut at 10:00 AM. Additional funeral details can be found in the below PDF provided by Bob’s family:
