Skinner’s daughter, Susie Moore, says Skinner died in his sleep early Monday at the St. Catherine Laboure Manor in Jacksonville, where he had been living for about a year. He had Alzheimer’s disease.

Skinner was working at Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville in the late 1960s when he sent a group of students to the principal’s office because their hair was too long. Those students later formed a band, using a variation of Skinner’s name for their own.

Skinner later allowed the band to use a photo of his Leonard Skinner Realty sign for the inside of their third album.
