Obituary of Dennis R. Skorets

On September 9^th, 2021 Dennis Skorets passed away suddenly at his home in Hampton, New Jersey. 

Dennis was born June 10^th, 1953 to Parent’s Jessie Watkins Skorets and Gilbert Skorets in Somerville, New Jersey. Dennis was a longtime resident of Hunterdon County and grew up admiring the outdoors. Dennis worked as a heavy equipment mechanic and was a member of the Union Local 825.
