Dr. Harry M. Sklar
Eye doctor; 'simply irreplaceable' as beloved family man, 70
Dr. Harry M. Sklar, 70, of Marietta, Ga., passed away on Feb. 14, 2019. Harry was born and raised in New Jersey but recently relocated to Georgia to be close to his children and grandson.
An eye doctor for over 40 years, he loved taking care of others. He also loved meeting new people, telling jokes, and sharing stories. Harry was a model train enthusiast, classic car collector, and avid golfer.
He was the best husband, father, brother, and grandfather in the universe (and in universes yet undiscovered), and is simply irreplaceable.
Survivors include his devoted wife of 35 years, Suzanne Sklar; daughter, Lindsay (Stephen) Johnson; son, Jason Sklar; sister, Helene (Preston) Cohen, and grandson, Gannon Johnson. Harry is also survived by countless other friends and family members.
Memorial donations may be made to the ALS Association. The family will also be accepting flowers. A graveside service will be held at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 17, at Arlington Memorial Park, Atlanta. Arrangements are by Dressler's Jewish Funeral Care, Atlanta, 770-451-4999.
