Johnny Skala, age 57 of Brookfield. Proud, loving father of Andrea (Anthony) Harding and Allison (Theodore) Cook; beloved grandfather of Peyton, Sadie, and Gavin; dear son of Anna Skala, nee Podest, and the late Josef Skala; brother of Joseph (Francine) Skala and Michael (Angela) Skala; uncle of Christine (JT) McLanigan, nee Skala, and Joseph (Erin) Skala.
John was the most involved, supportive father for both his girls throughout their childhood and into adulthood. He rarely missed a gymnastics competition of Andrea's in the 14 years she competed. John could be found cheering in the stands at almost every one of Allison's softball games. He always found a way to be there, even when out of state – traveling as far as Missouri for Allison and Oklahoma for Andrea. He was so excited for his girls to be married and even more so for the arrivals of his 3 grandbabies. He gave his girls all that he had, always. Because who loved them more than him? No one.
