Bert Sugar could have been anything, really, as long as it allowed
him to tell stories. As long as it allowed him to crack wise, especially
about himself. As long as it allowed him to make people smile, if not
laugh out loud.
Sugar, who lived in
Chappaqua with his beloved wife Suzy for nearly 50 years, passed away at
the age of 74 Sunday of cardiac arrest. He was also battling lung
cancer.
