Skip was a dedicated Rotarian and a valued member of our community. He was a three-time Paul Harris Fellow (1999-2000, 2012-2013, and 2017-2018) and participated in the EREY program for eight years. Known for his active involvement, Skip contributed to Rotary conference hospitality and was instrumental in securing a grant for the Niagara Falls Aquarium.
Beyond Rotary, Skip was deeply engaged in the community. He served on the boards of Artpark and Old Fort Niagara and was a founding member of the Lewiston Jazz Festival. Skip was also a prominent figure in local media as the publisher and CEO of Niagara Frontier Publications, which produces three weekly newspapers and the website wnypapers.com. Under his leadership, NFP played a key role in supporting the Grand Island Chamber of Commerce and helped establish the Grand Island Citizen of the Year and Property Improvement awards.
Skip retired just a few months ago, leaving Niagara Frontier Publications in the capable hands of new leadership. He will be remembered for his remarkable contributions, leadership, and unwavering commitment to the community he loved.
