A celebration of Kevin Raymond Young’s life was held on Cousin’s Island in Falmouth, Me., on Friday, which would have been his 56th birthday. Called Kip, he grew up in East Hampton and died at home in Falmouth, Me., on June 2. His family believes the cause of death was heart related.

“Along Kevin’s journey through life he made innumerable lifelong friendships, and was well regarded by all of us who were fortunate to be included in his very large circle of family and friends,” an obituary prepared by his family said. “With his mischievous smile, and easy-going manner, he endeared himself to the many who knew him. Kevin was a kind and honest man, and had a well-developed sense of humor that would leave you wondering if the joke was on you.”

He was born at Mercy Hospital in Portland, Me., on Aug. 11, 1961, to Tolford Young and the former Virginia Newton. His family was from Maine, but lived on Osborne Lane in East Hampton Village while his father was stationed at Camp Hero in Montauk. He attended schools in East Hampton until 1976, when the family moved to Maine, where he attended schools in Windham and Westbrook, graduating from Westbrook High School in 1979.

Mr. Young was an entrepreneur. He worked in various fields, including sail-making and window fabrication. He tried window installation and insulation, and even bread route-sales. However, for the last 20 years, he worked as a manufacturing technician at National Semiconductor, which was acquired by Texas Instruments.

Mr. Young had a passion for fishing. At times, it was said, he would fish before work, after work, and even during work. For many years, he was a fixture in the Portland Little League; coaching kids was a talent and integral part of his being, his family said. He also loved to explore abandoned home-sites and the like with a metal detector, collecting old coins and artifacts.

He is survived by his partner of 11 years, Teresa Ehlers of Falmouth, a daughter, Samantha Haskell, also of Maine, and his father, Tolford Young of Sandy, Utah. His brothers, Brad Young of Florida, Tom Baker of Springs, and Charlie Baker of Berryville, Va., also survive, as does a granddaughter. His mother, Virginia Young, died before him.

     A service was held on June 17 at the West Falmouth Baptist Church. His ashes were dispersed at Sandy Cove on Cousin’s Island.

Memorial donations have been suggested to Portland Little League, P.O. Box 10586, Portland, Me. 04104.

Donald Norton, who was born at home in East Hampton Village in 1923, died on July 29 at East End Hospice in Westhampton Beach at the age of 93. According to his friend and caregiver, Ed Rack, he had had six heart attacks and nine cardiac stents, and defied the doctors who, 13 years ago, gave him just six months to live.

Mr. Norton had two brothers, Willard Norton and Gerald Norton, both World War II veterans, and one sister, all of whom predeceased him. He was a son of Lillian Norton Thomas, who remarried after her first husband died, and Willard Norton, a builder and carpenter. He graduated from East Hampton High School, then in the same Newtown Lane building as the middle school. During World War II, Mr. Norton worked for a time at the War Shipping Administration in New York City. Back home, he spent the rest of his working life at the East Hampton Town Highway Department.

A private graveside ceremony was held at Green River Cemetery in Springs. Mr. Rack said his friend, who never married, was a good and kind man, anonymously giving gift certificates for shoes or other items that people he knew or met needed. He suggested that donations in Donald Norton’s name be sent to East End Hospice, P.O. Box 1048, Westhampton Beach 11978.

In 1959 she married Robert C. Taylor. They lived in Atlantic Highlands, N.J., for 14 years, and later in Florida, before moving to East Hampton, her husband’s hometown, about 20 years ago. Their five children already knew the town well, having spent their summers here over the years. Mr. Taylor died in 2001.
