Skurulsky, Victor J. “Butch”
Born to Eternal Life where he was reunited with his beloved wife Patricia (nee Hammel) on Wednesday, May 8, 2019 at the age of 81 years. Loving father of Deborah Lynn and Rebecca Jean (Robert Jammer). Dear and devoted grandpa of Nicholas. Brother of the late Fritz (the late Dorothy), the late Mary, the late John (Rose), Betty, Gilbert (Nancy) and Kenneth (Corinne). Brother-in-law of the late Earl (Sandi) Hammel, the late John Hammel (Marlene (Robert) Zivens) and William (Peggy) Hammel.
Victor was a hard worker who enjoyed life and played as hard as he worked. He was an energetic and successful entrepreneur with business ventures ranging from a kringle bakery to drywall contractor to real estate investor. Victor loved his family, friends, fishing, ancient and Civil War history, reading, movies, cooking, family game night, cards, football, and supported youth sports of all kinds. With his ever-active mind and imagination, Victor was able to problem solve and fix anything. His friendliness, outgoing nature, generosity, quick wit, irreverent sense of humor, and ability to bring joy to all he met will be sorely missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. I will also miss him. He was such a wonderful uncle. I remember before any of you were born, I stayed over night with your mom and, I don’t know maybe I was a trial run, but anyway I had so much fun. They took me to the pool and I had so much fun. I will miss your dad he was always funny. Always had a smile. Always had a hug. He was an uncle you could always count on to love you. I will miss him so very much.
Dear Debbie and Becky. So sorry to hear about Uncle Butch. He was always the happy and funny Uncle. I ran into him not long ago and he always made me feel happy. He will be missed but always remembered. I know that he is still smiling back home with your mom.
So sorry to hear about Uncle Butch. I will never forget all the great memories of Uncle Butch and the Christmas parties at Fred Sr.’s. Always laughing and joking, it was just fun to be in his company. I was fortunate enough to see him again last summer. He was such a character, he made me laugh just like he did when I was a kid sitting on his lap at Christmas. We will miss you Uncle Butch.
