I had the pleasure of meeting Joe, "Papa Joe," about ten years ago in Jacksonville. We became fast friends because my name is Lisa, he always spoke of how much he loved his daughter Lisa. I also met my husband during this time. My own father passed away 13 years prior to this, after losing his battle with prostate cancer. Joe treated me like a daughter and gave my future, now husband of ten years, the Nth degree. My husband is a former seaman as well. It meant so much to know a father like figure at this time in my life. I only spoke to Papa Joe a few times over the last ten years, but he left a lifelong impression in our hearts. I found this obituary tonight while searching to see what he was up to these days. I am saddened to hear of his passing, and more so for those that knew this amazing person longer and more frequently. Thank you for being there when I needed my hand shook, money took... Y'all know the rest I'm sure.
I had the privilege to know and work with Joe for over twenty years. His passion for family,friends and his work always amazed me. He was a true and honest friend on and off the job. Not enough good words to describe Joe Skahan.
Our prayers and heart felt sympathy are with the Skahan family.

Dear dear Barb...When I heard of Joe's passing last night ..my heart squeezed tight for you and your beautiful beautiful family. The world is a much better place for having known your special guy.
Memories! My prayers are that the foremost memories for you now ... are of his amazing wit. He could always make all around him laugh. Thru the pain ... remember Norfolk? circa 1962-3.
My prayers are definitely with you and yours. Love you friend ... Dottie (Matlack) Beetel
Mrs "Brutus" and Family,
We were sorry to hear about the loss of beloved "Brutus". Working with him for many years, he left us with many jokes, laughs and memories. I hope these pictures bring a smile and a reminder that "Pink" was his favorite color. He was "tough" on the outside but we know he had a big heart on the inside. We will miss him dearly.
Our Deepest Sympathies,
The "Pink-ettes" (better known as Cindy & Lisa)
