The Rev. A. John Skeirik, 88, died March 7, 2007 in Brewster, MA, of kidney failure. He was ordained in 1947 as a Methodist minister and received UUA Final Fellowship in 1965. John served Methodist pastorates NY and Massachusetts and UU ministries in Sherborn and Reading, MA, Hollis, NY and Middleboro, MA where he was named minister emeritus. After retirement John and Betsey continued to live on Cape Cod. He had a second career as a multi-media specialist and served as an assistant librarian in public schools. John was an exceptional amateur photographer, and enjoyed carving objects with his wood-carving power tools. He and Betsey also enjoyed travel, including a number of trips to Europe. He donated time to the library of the Cape Cod Museum of Natural His-tory. One of his colleagues writes, “John was an uncomplicated, transparently kind, and genuinely liberal minister, one without a mean bone in his body.” He was survived by his wife of 59 years, Betsey, a brother and a sister. A memorial service was held March 24 in Chatham, MA.
