Donald Skabelund Obituary
His family knew him as a kind and selfless man. He was a seeker of knowledge--a UNM professor of physics and history. He was fascinated by all things and surrounded by books. He was a lover of animals, a hiker, a gardener, and a devout man of faith. He entertained with his jolly wit.
He will be beloved forever and deeply missed.

Dear Alyson and Anhara: Please accept my deepest sympathies on the passing of your father. I remember him from the time I went home with you both for lunch when we were at Lyle Talbot Agency. He was so friendly and I could tell he was very proud of his daughters. I will always treasure memories like that. I also will never forget all the good memories of our time working together. Sincerely and with heartfelt condolences, your friend, Teresa Toyzan Evans
