NFR RIP Capt Insano Emeritis

[Brian Miller]

I grew concerned when he hadn't posted in the "...Listening To" thread for 10 days. He was a music lover with a wide range of music in a massive vinyl collection!

He was a Gifted Artist. The painting he shared with us in this post "draws me into" a spot on two different streams I like to fish. I look at this and in my mind I am there...

I"ll miss Skip .

 

[Buzzy]

One of a kind.
RIP

So true, he really was that 'one of a kind' man. I remember reaching out to Skip one time asking him about why my garlic crop had failed. He sent me package of garlic heads to plant that fall. Rest in peace, Skip and sincere condolences to his family.

 

[Sturubu]

He was truly an interesting and entertaining character on this forum, the kind of presence I'll miss without having ever met in person. Those close to him must miss him dearly. Condolences to his friends and family, especially with such a sudden loss.

RIP Skip….I remember him from Westfly days. I wish peace, and healing for his family

 

[Jaydub]

Sad to hear. I too remember him from Westfly on. Loved his art and he seemed like quite a character too.

 

[Dustin Chromers]

That truly sucks. I never saw that guy lose his cool or class ever. Good sense of strange humour I enjoyed as well.

@Admins; can we preserve his "painting is what I do" thread as a memorial ?

Variety is my thing. Sometimes large or small , expressive and loose with the brush or somewhat exacting yet hopefully still painterly. I illustrated in my career which i see as work not art.

I didn't know him personally, but appreciated his "good sense of strange humour" posts as well...I'm sure: a creative outlet for him as well.
RIP Capt !

Yeah, that.

I Am saddened to read this. He seemed full of love.

This is the painting Skip did of me fighting a large trout at a lake we used to fish. In my photography, I'm a sucker for action shots of fishing. Skip knew that and made the water color of an action shot he took.

Dammit, Skip. You weren't supposed to suddenly go around the bend.

Skip was fun to see on the boards here. He had a keen artistic eye and I am going to miss him. If ever there was a guy who wore his heart on his sleeve, Skip sure did. He had a brutal and super open honesty and a key eye for the play of light and dark. And the music, wow, I don't think any of us remotely come close. His choices never seemed stuck in one era or genre.

I like to think his house smelled of like rich compost, linseed oil, Used record vinyl, and some kind of garlic infused dish.

Godspeed Skip!

Trying to think of a good musical tribute... I think he would have got a kick out of this one. Funny, moving, complicated, heart on the sleeve...

 

[Rob Allen]

Very sad, known him for years but never met him. Rarely agreed but always liked him

 

[Jerry Daschofsky]

RIP Skip.

al tribute... I think he would have got a kick out of this one. Funny, moving, complicated, heart on the sleeve...

pretty sure he'd enjoy this one as well...

 

[Salmo_g]

Wow! Didn't see this coming as I just got back to civilization after a few days in the wilderness. I've messaged with Skip about gardening and other things and recently encouraged him to join us at the Mayfield swap & shop. That was just before he died. I was going to check in with him about tomatoes again after catching up on the forum here, . . . and now this news. Sure sucks the warmth out of this day. RIP Skip!

 

[Skagittarius]

Big loss. I really enjoyed his contributions. I didn't know him but the Skip moniker and that photo is exactly how I would have conjured him. RIP
