John N. Skadsberg
John N. Skadsberg passed away Thursday, Aug 6, 2020, surrounded by family. John was born May 25, 1948 in Duluth, Minn., the son of the late Norman S. Skadsberg and Florence K. (Jannette) Skadsberg.
He graduated from Central High School and enlisted in the United States Air Force, which brought him to Delaware where he settled and raised his family. John also worked for the U.S. Postal Service for 36 years, retiring as Postmaster of Felton, Del. in 2003. After retirement John did construction work to keep him busy, while becoming a true artist working with ceramic tile. John enjoyed spending time with his family, hard work, boating and scuba diving. He obtained his Captains license in 1994, which was an accomplishment he was very proud of. When not busy with the above, he could spend hours talking politics! John never met a stranger and was loved and respected by all that knew him. His laugh was contagious.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his first wife, Judith A. (Meleri) Skadsberg; and one brother, Thomas P. Skadsberg.
