McKim Dangerfield
A man who always had a twinkle in his eye as he laughed merrily at his own jokes, McKim Dangerfield, 96, passed away peacefully on Aug. 12 at the home of his longtime friend and companion, Forrest Bonshire, in Setauket.
McKim was born
on June 2, 1915, in Baltimore, Md., to Mary McKim Wilde and Reverdy Johnson Dangerfield. After graduating from Princeton, he followed his father to Wall Street.
During World War II he was a navigator for the Air Transport Command. After a plane crash, he survived for 32 days in the frozen tundra of Newfoundland before rescue arrived. This experience was recounted in the 1953 movie "Island in the Sky," starring John Wayne.
In 1956 McKim moved to Head of the Harbor in St. James and lived in what is known as the oldest home in the village. He delighted in spending much of his time at the Nissequogue Point Beach Club and volunteered on the village's Roadside Committee and Architectural Review Board.
As an associate broker with Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate for the last 20 years, McKim received many accolades, including the Lifetime Achievement Award, reflecting his dedication and passion for the industry. He rarely missed an open house and delighted in sharing his extensive knowledge of the history of individual houses and the surrounding area.
Most of his later days were spent at antique shows, auctions and art shows. He enjoyed an evening cocktail and invariably completed the daily crossword puzzle.
On his family tree can be found such names as Cabot, Vanderbilt, Pulitzer and Doubleday in addition to Charles Follen McKim of the firm of McKim, Mead and White, architects.
He was predeceased by his brother, Reverdy Johnson Dangerfield, and by his beloved dog, Teddy. He is survived by his cousin, Sally Staples, and her children, Sandy and Richard Staples, of Baltimore. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the ASPCA would be appreciated.
