Henry Boogie Bonds 

December 03, 1953~August 06, 2022

Boogie of New Port Richey, passed away from Metastatic Colon Cancer on August 6, 2022. Boog was from Tampa, Florida and was a full-time, world-renowned guitarist, singer, and musician.

He started playing music professionally when he was only 17 years old. He was in many bands such as Bogus Joe, Rukus, Voyager, and Angels Flight before joining Condo Voyuev in 1992, where he met his wife, Connie. Together, they toured the USA and the world doing USO-DOD Tours during the Gulf War. Boogie and his wife played from upstate New York to south Texas and made their permanent home back in Tampa Bay, with the band Eclipse. While many members joined them over the years, he was blessed to have his wife on bass and vocals, and their son Julius as the drummer. He also played in the bay area with Lawless Intent, Vendetta, Mustang Mafia and regularly with Connie as the duo, Agent Bonds. He was a funny and mild-mannered man, who was always happy with his guitar in hand.

He is survived by his wife Connie, his daughter Tiffany Santayana, son Paul Bonds, daughter Harmony Mendoza, son Julius Mendoza, and 8 grandchildren: James, Gage, Sarah, Johnny, Bryn, Josie, Emma, and Angelo. He loved his family with his whole heart and will be missed by many. Rock on with your friends above Boogie. Your memory, spirit and music will live on forever in the hearts of many.  

In lieu of flowers, the family has asked for donations in honor of his little lifesaver, Poodles, to the following charity: SPCA Suncoast 7734 Congress St., New Port Richey, FL 34653. www.spcasuncoast.org

He was such a sweet man and so loved life, it’s is so hard to understand why he is gone so soon.

Boogie will always have a special place in my heart. I can still see him long ago at a Summer Jam in Aripeka, in the wee hours of the morning when almost everyone had left or stumbled off to their tents. Boogie picked up his guitar and shredded those strings in the dark, sending intensely beautiful melodies to the moon and stars. It was magical!
The music he and my dearest friend Connie crafted together brought them to a pinnacle in their relationship that I can only imagine. My heart breaks for you, dear one. And to all his family.

I’m so sorry for your loss , I had the pleasure of meeting Boogie and Connie after Connie had surgery. He was a doting husband who took care of his wife when she needed it. I’m sure she returned the favor. People brought together by a common passion often have the strongest of relationships. May peace come to his Family and friends

“If you believe in forever
Then life is just a one-night stand
If there’s a rock and roll heaven
Well you know they’ve got a hell of a band, band, band”.. Alan O’Day and Johnny Stevenson
Apologies for the delay in my message. The only excuse I can provide is my state of denial. It was only several weeks ago that I learned of Boogie’s illness and its severity and critical nature. Though his passing was not a surprise, it was difficult for me to believe someone so vital, so young, so loving and talented left us to mourn a wonderful husband, dad and friend. Marty and I have known and loved Connie and Boogie for many years and missed seeing them socially and professionally these past couple of years as we maintained an extremely isolated existence due to the pandemic. Boogie was by far an extraordinary artist whose passion for his trade was so evident. His and Connie’s love story is precious, and I am thinking of how their upcoming anniversary will be a day to remember so many beautiful memories of travel, family and happy events they shared. Connie, you remain in our prayers and our offer for anything you may need is always available. We love you, Marty and Nancy

Dear Connie, hope by now Boogie has found KK and they are reminiscing about times with Condo Voyeur! Imagine they’ve both found some new instruments and are putting some gigs together for the locals. Both guys will be looking for their favorite bass player, you should know that. When the mood moves you, I hope you will continue to share your talent with your friends and locals there. With me in thoughts.

Connie. Words cannot express our heartfelt sorrow at your loss. Nothing Marie nor I feel changes how we fell about you and Boogies passing. Actually, as the son of Funeral Director, I always thought of it as moving further up the road to newer adventures. I can see him now, playing what looks like a broom stick instrument playing some otherworldly sounds that sounds almost earthly. LOVE Gary and Marie Marsicano………

Boogie was truly a brilliant guitarist/musician. Playing music with him was a nightly joy i will always treasure. But, getting to know and call him my friend was an even greater blessing. His humor, intelligence and basic good-nature was wonderful to be around. Watching his love and commitment to Connie was also beautiful. My heart is with you, Connie, and the whole Bonds family. Your love for him was what love stories are written. Love you & Boogs always! Lil Hook
