Croatia-Born City Resident Dead at 77

John Ivan Skvorc, 77, of 619 NW 4, died Wednesday at St Anthony
Hospital. Services are pending at Watts Funeral Home.

Skvorc was born in Olde, Croatia. He came to America alone when
he was 14, and worked in Pittsburgh to save enough money to help
his brothers and sisters follow him to America. He also worked
in Chicago briefly before coming to Oklahoma City more than 50
years ago. He had been an employe at the Ford assembly plant in
Oklahoma City, and did shoe repair work in his home until shortly
before his death. He was a member of St Joseph's Old Cathedral.

Survivors include three daughters, Mrs Helen Tobias, of Westminister,
Calif., Mrs Mary Swartz, of Houston, Texas, and Mrs Frances
Wilkerson, of San Antonio, Texas; three sons, John Louis Skvorc, of
2431 West Eubanks, B.J. Scott, of Midland, Texas, and Capt. Paul A.
Skvorc, of Texarkana, Texas.

* Burial in Fairlawn Cemetery, Oklahoma City.
