RONNY WHYTE Obituary

WHYTE--Ronny. Our dear friend, Ronny Whyte, died on August 19, 2025 at the age of 88. He was a superb jazz pianist, songwriter and wince-inducing joke teller. Ronny was a natty dresser with impeccable style. His smile and talent lit up the New York City jazz scene: Birdland, Jazz at The Kitano, Pangea, North Square while hosting and performing at St. Peter's Church Midday Jazz for over 14 years. Ronny received The Bistro Award's highest honor two years ago. We will miss our friendship of over 50 years. Now you will join "The Party Upstairs". Susan and Joel Mindel
