Obituary for
Larry Dale Skolney
We are heartbroken to announce the passing of Larry Dale Skolney on Sunday, November 26, 2023, at the age of 72 years.
Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife of 45 years, Laura Skolney; children, Tara Schneider (Wayne) with their children, Ethan and Liezel, Jonathan Skolney with children, Rachel and Michaela and Grayson (Jill Cullen); stepfather, George Shapka of Vegreville; brother, Glenn Skolney (Glenna Rubin); nieces, Jennifer Skolney (Sandra Pedler) with their children, Addison and Eloise and Kristen Skolney (Scott Nowosiad) with their daughter, Briana; along with numerous extended family and friends.
Larry was predeceased by his mother, Alexandra Shapka-Skolney (née Ostrowski); father, John Skolney; and in-laws, Michael and Pauline Klymochko.
Larry’s love of quadding and snowmobiling meant he spent a lot of time outdoors exploring the back country in Alberta and B.C. He enjoyed manufacturing as well as fixing to always make things better than how he found them. When someone came to Larry with a concept or an idea, whether a fibreglass boat or decorative iron fence, he was always willing to oblige. Even prior to 1991, when Larry and Laura started Center Point Design, Larry was known all over the province as the John Deere Snowmobile guru. Many friendships formed and still exist because of his talents and hobbies.
Larry’s family was very important to him, especially in the last few years when he drew upon them for more support as his Dementia journey continued.
The family would like to extend a special thank-you to the staff of Unit 9C at the Edmonton General Hospital for their special care and compassion during Larry’s final days.
A Prayer Service will be held Tuesday, December 5, 2023, at 7 p.m. at St. Basil’s Ukrainian Catholic Church, 7007 – 109 Street, Edmonton. A Divine Liturgy will be held Wednesday, December 6, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Basil’s Ukrainian Catholic Church with interment in St. Peter and St. Paul Ukrainian Catholic Cemetery, Mundare, AB.
