Our beloved father, grandfather, husband, and friend Edward Joseph Skurzynski left us on November 1, 2023, at his home in Boise, Idaho. In his 94 years of life, Ed’s days had been filled with the joy of family, the fulfillment of a demanding career, and the satisfaction that comes from knowing he has left the world a better place. Friends and family will always remember him for his warmth and welcoming smile and hug of greeting. He created friendships with everyone he met.
Ed is survived by Gloria Skurzynski, his wife who has been by his side for 72 years. Together they raised five successful and independent women: Serena Nolan (David, Baltimore, MD), Janine Skurzynski (Dale Mahoney, Nampa, ID), Joni Alm (Ted, Santa Fe, NM), Alane Ferguson (Ron, Tampa, FL), and Lauren Thliveris (Andrew, Paonia, CO). His extended family includes seven grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren and a circle of friends that stretches around the world. He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Rose Skurzynski, and sisters Theresa Staskiewicz and Lottie Novosielski.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Riverside Hotel Sapphire Room on Monday, November 13 from 6:00-9:00 PM.
