Obituary
Daniel Dale Skinner
1947- 2022
Dan passed away peacefully after a year long illness at the age of 75. He was born in Bristol, Connecticut, the son of the late Lillian (née Brodeur) and Harold Skinner. He is survived by his wife Deborah (née Herz), married 46 years, and his children Sean, Ryan and Lorelei Tocci. Dan attended St. Anthony's High School in Bristol and Southampton College where he received a BS in Geology. He loved the East End and settled in Sag Harbor after graduation.
Dan discovered his passion for the culinary arts at Baron's Cove in the early 70s. He continued to pursue his newfound love at many restaurants in the Hamptons over the coming decades. With the purchase of the Madison Market, Dan and his wife established their own place within the village.
Dan settled in Sag Harbor for the rest of his life and was very committed to his family and his community. He believed in a life of service, leading the scouts of Troop #455 and joining the volunteer Fire Department, for which he served proudly for 42 years. He applied his passion for cooking on the House Committee. He was also the secretary for Otter Hose and the Fire Department Benevolent Committee.
Dan loved camping, hiking, travel, cars, music, history and especially sailing with his Breakwater friends on White Lightning. He instilled a lifelong love of sailing and more to his children that proudly carry on these passions today.
Dan is also survived by two grandchildren, Parker Louise, Grayson Daniel, their dad Cord Tocci, loving brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, and wonderful nieces and nephews.
Relatives and friends are cordially invited to calling hours at Yardleys Funeral Home in Sag Harbor on Tuesday December 27th from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. His burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Southampton Animal Shelter Foundation.
