Sending so much love, prayers & support to the Hogan & Skipper’s family 🙏🏼❤️ We have such an incredible community of people rallying behind you, Josh!
Make sure to go & support them & their incredible staff with patience & grace. We are so lucky to have them on Sodus Bay!!
Hi everyone ❤️
We wanted to take a moment to share a personal update with our Skippers family and community.
First, we want to thank our incredible employees. The last few weeks have brought a lot of unexpected changes with very little notice, and every single one of you has stepped up, adjusted, and continued to give your best. We truly are blessed with an amazing staff, and we couldn’t do this without you. ❤️
We also want to thank all of you — our customers, friends, family, and community. Skippers has gone through quite a few changes lately. We’ve had menu changes, employee changes, new babies…and now our family is facing something we never expected.
Recently, Josh was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.
As you can imagine, this came as a complete shock and has been incredibly difficult for Josh and our entire family. We are still in the process of getting answers and working with his medical team to better understand his diagnosis and what the road ahead will look like.
There are still a lot of unknowns, so right now we are taking things one appointment, one answer, and one day at a time.
We are incredibly thankful to have an amazing medical team beside us every step of the way. For now, Josh will be out of work until further notice while we focus on getting answers, his health, and our family. Hopefully, you’ll still see him pop into Skippers from time to time to say hi when he’s feeling up to it. ❤️
Skippers will continue to be here, and our amazing staff will be working hard to keep things running. We just ask for a little patience and grace as we navigate this new chapter.
Most of all, we are asking for lots of prayers and positive thoughts for Josh. 🙏❤️
We are still parents first, raising our kids and running a business, and now we are facing something we never imagined we would have to face. We truly cannot put into words how much the love and support of our staff, customers, friends, family, and this community mean to us.
Thank you for standing beside Josh, our family, and Skippers.
We’re taking this one day at a time, together. ❤️
