Wilfred (Wilf) Forest Sklar
On Wednesday May 25, 2022, Mr. Wilfred (Wilf) Forest Sklar passed away peacefully with his family by his side.
Wilf is survived by his spouse Mary Sklar. Step-children Anne (Glen), Barb, David (Mel), Harold and Kim.

He was preceded in death by his father William (Bill) Sklar, mother Catherine Romanchuk, stepfather Harry Romanchuk, brother Danny Sklar, sister Vera Lemko and granddaughter Larissa Kooi.
Wilf was born on October 21, 1944 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Wilf grew up on the family farm and left in his early 20’s to create a successful career in the construction industry. Wilf worked in Alberta and Saskatchewan operating heavy equipment, eventually making Alberta home. In 1995 Wilf started his own company (Sklar Oil Field Consulting) which brought him great joy. Wilf retired in 2016. He loved to spend his free time at the lake (Lac La Noone), where he created a beautiful and peaceful sanctuary to enjoy with his family and friends.
Per Wilf’s request there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The Family would like to thank the Staff at Grey Nuns Hospital for their care and compassion.
Our deepest sympathy to the family of Wilfred. We have fond memories of a few visits with Wilf enjoying his kind manner, humour and genuine laughter. May your memories carry you through.

Mary & Family, My deepest sympathy. We all loved Uncle Wilf so much. All the memories when we came out to visit & he was the best tour guide. He loved to drive us all over & tell us about the history of everywhere we went. We will miss him VERY much.

Mary, I am so sorry for the loss of Wilf. He was always bigger than
life to me. Always!! No words! His fancy cars, His travels,. .Even when we were kids going to Foxford.. Ice cream and pop and then a wild ride back to the farm lol!
The trailer and the barbecues!! I remember getting teased about loving ice-cream all the time…. I hope you are well.
Sending sympathy to you and your family.

I still hear his voice and his words so straight forward. I loved him and will miss him terribly. A great part of my life to have the honour of knowing him as my father in law and for my kids having a wonderful grandfather. Rest in paradise Wilf and watch over Larissa until I get there. Forever loved and remembered.
My condolences to the family.
I am happy to see that he did make something of his life.
