5-22-38/5-1-16
Skip passed
away May 1, 2016, of esophageal and colon cancer. He was 76. Nephew of
the French impressionist Henri Bonnard, Skip worked as a newspaper
columnist in The Hamptons, NY, and managed the Millenium Art Gallery in
East Hampton. He settled in Lake Worth in 2002 and for a while managed
an art gallery on Lake Avenue. He was active in Lake Worth's recovery
community and on May 4th would have celebrated 41 years of sobriety. He
was mentor to many seeking recovery. A raconteur with a vast and
sometimes acerbic knowledge of fashion and the arts, for many years he
co-hosted the syndicated talk show "Sudsy Says" on WLNG in Sag Harbor,
NY. His co-host was Nedda di Montezemolo, "Mrs. Sudsy." The show was
briefly reprised on a Lantana radio station in 2013. Skip is survived by
Mrs. Sudsy of Washington, DC, and his beloved, Camila Eran Hastings of
West Palm Beach. A celebration of his life will be held on Thursday, May
26, 7:30PM to 9:30PM at Mother Earth Sanctuary Cafe, Lake Worth. Source: PBPostObits

I heard that he had died. So sorry.
ReplyDeleteR.I.P. Skip. You were never boring.
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry to hear of Skip's passing, it was always fun catching up on the local news with him.
ReplyDeleteAnd we will miss seeing Skip in the neighborhood riding his bike. He loved our dog and was never too busy to stop and give him encouraging words.
