Katharine Topping Babinski, a lifelong resident of Sagaponack, died at her home, which was built by her father in 1909, on March 17. She was 93.

With roots dating to 1649, Mrs. Babinski was a descendant of the Thomas Topping who purchased much of the area. His son, John Topping, began Sagaponack’s early development and his headstone is the oldest recorded in the Sagaponack Cemetery. G. Clarence Topping, her grandfather, was a founder of the Bridgehampton National Bank. 

The daughter of Sadie and Robert Topping, Mrs. Babinski was born on June 28, 1922, in Southampton. She attended grade school in Sagaponack and graduated from Bridgehampton High School in 1940. A registered nurse, she trained at the Brooklyn Methodist Hospital School of Nursing after attending Green Mountain College in Vermont. Some of her fondest professional memories were about the time she spent working alongside Dr. David Edwards in East Hampton and Dr. Hugh Halsey in Southampton.

Mrs. Babinski’s future sister-in-law played matchmaker and in 1957 she married John P. Babinski, a potato farmer. They lived in Sagaponack, where they raised two daughters. Mr. Babinski died in 1998.

According to family members, Mrs. Babinski was feisty and had exacting standards. Caregiving was her passion, and over the years, she cared for many family members — including her mother, her husband, who had had a stroke, and for a brief period, a niece.

Mrs. Babinski had a short but ultimately successful list of wishes: wanting to see her grandson James graduate from Pierson High School and outliving her mother, who died at 92.

A lover of birds, Mrs. Babinski looked forward to the arrival every spring of barn swallows and catbirds, who would eat currants and raisins out of her hand. She entered the date of their arrival on a calendar every year and would say they never failed to show up on schedule. One of her daughters would call to say the catbirds had arrived in Pennsylvania so she could expect her Long Island catbirds a few days later.

Mrs. Babinski is survived by her daughters, Sara Babinski of Lancaster, Pa., and Alison Froehlich of Sagaponack. Her grandson, James Froehlich of Sagaponack, also survives her. A sister, Marie Topping Peterson, and a brother, Donald Topping, died before her. Her family wanted to thank Mrs. Babinski’s many caregivers, in particular Nachol, who looked after her for nearly four years.

A funeral service was held on Saturday afternoon at the Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church, and Mrs. Babinski will be buried alongside her husband in the Sagaponack Cemetery. Donations have been suggested to the Roof Fund of the Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church, P.O. Box 3038, Bridgehampton 11932, or to the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, 159 Sapsucker Woods Road, Ithaca, N.Y. 14850.

Lawrence Shipley Munson, a founder of the East Hampton Healthcare Foundation and the author of a book on corporate management that was published in  two editions and many languages, died on Sunday at Brookdale Assisted Living in Salt Lake City, Utah. He was 96 years old and had had a very bad cold.

Mr. Munson helped establish the Village Preservation Society of East Hampton in 1982, which was instrumental in creating the East Hampton Healthcare Foundation’s medical center on Pantigo Road. He was honored by the Town of East Hampton in 2002, and in 2010 received a lifetime achievement award from the society. He also had served on the board of the Greater New York Fund, Planned Parenthood of New York, and other charitable organizations.

Mr. Munson, who was sometimes called Binks, was born in Brooklyn on Jan. 10, 1920, one of the five children of Lawrence Josiah Munson, a well-known Norwegian-American organist, composer, and teacher, and Anna Lee Munson. He graduated from Garden City High School in 1938 and from Harvard College in 1942, having enlisted in the Army Air Corps before graduation. He ended his World War II service in Hawaii with the rank of major.

After the war, Mr. Munson went to Harvard Law School on the G.I. Bill. While a student there, he met his future wife, Gretchen Thannhauser, at a cocktail party. The couple would tell the story about how, when he introduced himself as Larry Munson, she heard him say, “I am very handsome.” They married in 1947.

The Munsons moved to New York City after his graduation from Harvard Law, and Mr. Munson began his legal career with the international law firm known now as Willkie Farr & Gallagher. He was soon recalled to active duty during the Korean War, however, and, stationed in England, found himself helping to prepare airfields for jet planes.

Mr. Munson transitioned from law to management consulting after returning to civil life. He spent the next 15 years as a consultant and then a director at McKinsey & Company. His career also included having been president and chief operating officer of the Loral Corporation, vice president and chief financial officer of Allegheny Power, and a principal at Louis Allen. Working long past typical retirement age, he wrote “How to Conduct a Successful Management Training Seminar,” which was published by McGraw-Hill.

Mr. and Mrs. Munson, who had two children, began spending summers in East Hampton in 1962 and moved to East Hampton full time in the 1990s. A member of the Maidstone Club, Mr. Munson enjoyed golf there, and once scored a hole-in-one on the eighth hole. He was a member of the Devon Yacht Club in Amagansett and of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Hampton, where he once was a member of the choir.

 The Munsons moved in 2000 to Massachusetts to be closer to their son, and after Mrs. Munson’s death in 2009, Mr. Munson moved to Salt Lake City, following his son there.

“He was an incredibly good human being. When he came into the room, the room just lit up,” his daughter, Kitty Munson Cooper of Lakeside, Calif., said. “He was the kind of person who got people to do things. He was just a really kind, good person, and a really effective manager.”

In addition to his daughter, his son, Shipley John Munson of Sandy, Utah, six grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren survive.

A memorial service will take place at St. Luke’s on April 22 at 11:30 a.m. Donations in Mr. Munson’s memory have been suggested for the East Hampton Healthcare Foundation, for which information can be found online at easthamptonhealthcare.org.

Peter Schaefer, a graduate of Pierson High School who was a key player on the school’s only state championship basketball team, died on March 17 after collapsing at his home. He had been suffering symptoms of stomach flu before he collapsed, his family said. Mr. Schaefer was 54.

Born in Southampton Hospital to Vernon Schaefer and the former Elizabeth Page, he was a lifelong resident of Sag Harbor Village.

Bob Vishno was coaching the Whalers in 1978, the first year the state held a championship tournament. “Peter was a real leader. He inspired everybody,” Mr. Vishno said yesterday. The team advanced to the finals to face a squad from Elmsford, N.Y., at the Rochester War Memorial Arena. It was the first plane ride for many of the boys.

Peter Schaefer played in the backcourt. With the team trailing, he scored a basket at the buzzer, sending the game into overtime, then scored pivotal points to give the Whalers the victory. “He was a bright kid, very competitive,” the coach said.

The following year Pierson fell one game short of the finals, losing to the same opponents by one point.

Basketball was not the only sport Mr. Schaefer excelled in. Mr. Vishno also coached the Whalers’ golf team; Mr. Schaefer was its captain. He graduated from Pierson second in his class and went on to major in business at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. While there he got to know the Outer Banks, and years later often took his family there on vacation.

Returning home, he took a job at the Bridgehampton National Bank, starting as a mortgage lender and eventually becoming supervisor of the residential mortgage department. He met Susan Gaudiello, who also worked at the bank, in 1990, and they kept their relationship “very hush-hush,” Ms. Schaefer said, until they were married in 1998. Mr. Schaefer left Bridgehampton National that year and moved to the Manhattan Mortgage Company as a broker.

In 2005, the couple decided that Mr. Schaefer would become “Mr. Mom,” Ms. Schaefer said, to their two children. He was an attentive and loving father, she said. Long walks with the children were frequent. “He would take hikes down to Barcelona with the kids and the dogs,” or head to Sagg Main Beach. He enjoyed crabbing, too, his wife said, always taking his dog, Smokey, along to Fresh Pond and Great Pond Creek on North Haven.

He never lost his love for golf and gardening, but dropped everything to attend any sporting event his children were playing in.

In addition to his wife, he leaves a daughter, Paige, who is 15, and a son, Peter, 13. A brother, Perry Schaefer of Hart, Mich., also survives. Two other brothers, Paul and Patrick Schaefer, died before him.

Funeral services took place at St. Andrew’s Catholic Church in Sag Harbor, with burial following in the church cemetery.

Eric Lance Erwin moved with his family to Germany, New Jersey, and California before settling in Montauk, where his father was stationed at Camp Hero.

He and his three brothers grew up in a house in the Ditch Plain neighborhood, where, his mother said, he lived to fish.

Mr. Erwin died on Nov. 26 in Nashville. He was 53 and had been ill with cancer for more than a year.

Born in Manchester, N.H., on Aug. 7, 1962, to Glyn and Daisy Erwin, he was an East Hampton High School graduate. Mr. Erwin, who played the guitar, moved to Tennessee in his early 20s, initially working as a musician. He later worked as a painter and a builder. A giving person, he looked after his elderly neighbors and frequently bought them groceries.

A celebration of his life took place on Dec. 27 in Nashville. His ashes will be spread, along with his father’s, at Montauk Point on April 18, the one-year anniversary of his father’s death.

In addition to his mother, who lives in Montauk, he is survived by his brothers: Rex and David Erwin, both of Boston, and Dan Erwin of Patchogue.

Charles Paul Turlinski of East Hampton, a former chief executive officer of the Limited Stores, died on April 13 at the age of 69.

Mr. Turlinski spent a combined 10 years as an executive within the Limited Stores chain of leadership, first serving as chief financial officer of Express, one of the company’s brands, and then becoming C.E.O. of the Limited Stores. He served on the industry advisory board of the Wharton School’s Jay H. Baker Retailing Center, the Community Shelter Board in Columbus, Ohio, and the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation, which acts as the board of directors for the Peace Corps.

Mr. Turlinski and his wife, Donna Turlinski, moved to East Hampton three years ago from New York City.

His family declined to provide a cause of death.

The son of Charles Paul Turlinski Sr. and Jenny Weklar, Mr. Turlinski was born on March 28, 1947, in Philadelphia. He attended the University of Massachusetts and, later, the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, finishing his master’s of business administration in 1972.

In addition to his wife, Mr. Turlinski leaves his three children, Charles Turlinski, Jacob Turlinski, and Natasha Damon, who live in San Francisco, and two grandsons.

Memorial donations have been suggested to the Charles Turlinski Sr. Endowed Fellowship at the Wharton School of Business, University of Pennsylvania, for which more information may be found online at wharton. upenn.edu.

Anthony DiSunno, an architect who helped form A.I.A. Peconic, the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects, and had served as its president, died on April 8 of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. He was 69 and had been diagnosed in December 2014.

Mr. DiSunno established DiSunno Architecture in East Hampton in 1983 and guided the firm through hundreds of projects large and small over the course of nearly three decades. “Every project had a design based on its own merits, and that was important to him — that we never did the same project twice,” said his son, Christopher DiSunno, who took over the firm in 2010. 

Anthony DiSunno was born on March 2, 1947, in Southampton to Tony DiSunno and the former Gladys Robinson. He grew up in Amagansett, graduated from East Hampton High School, and married his high school sweetheart, Rebecca Maxey, on Sept. 2, 1967. He was studying at the Long Island Technical School when he was drafted into the Army. He was on active duty from January 1968 to January 1970 and was in the reserves until December 1973.

Mr. DiSunno moved with his wife and two children to Houston, where he earned a master’s in architecture from the University of Houston and began his architectural career with Howard Barnstone Associates and then House Rey Associates.

The family eventually returned to East Hampton, where his son and daughter, Nicole, completed school. He served on the East Hampton School Board in the mid-1980s, was a member of the East Hampton Lions Club and Oddfellows Hall, and was an early member of the East End section of the Long Island A.I.A chapter, which eventually split off to form A.I.A. Peconic. Mr. DiSunno worked to establish the chapter’s scholarship fund and served on the committee that raised money for it, primarily through an annual golf outing. “He gave his time willingly and unselfishly in support of A.I.A. Peconic” and other organizations, his wife wrote.

In 2006, he spent six weeks volunteering in Tanzania with Cross Cultural Solutions, where he worked with a women’s cooperative. It was a life-changing experience, said his wife, who was teaching at New York University and subsequently returned with a group of students.

Mr. DiSunno enjoyed sailing and had kept two boats while on the East End. He also loved hiking and camping in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, where he designed and built a second home. With a group of friends, he loved to ride motorcycles  along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

He continued to work part time in East Hampton, spending summers in North Carolina, until his retirement a year and a half ago.

In addition to his wife, who splits her time between East Hampton and North Carolina, and his son, who lives in East Hampton, he is also survived by his daughter, Nicole DiSunno of East Hampton, and by a grandson and a granddaughter. Also surviving are two sisters, Sharon DiSunno of Hampton Bays and Doris DiSunno of East Hampton, and a brother, David DiSunno of East Hampton.

Services will be private.

Donations have been suggested to the A.I.A. Peconic Scholarship Fund, P.O. Box 327, Hampton Bays 11946.

Anne Harvey Gerli, a past president of the Garden Club of East Hampton, third-generation member of the Maidstone Club, and the granddaughter of William H. Woodin, secretary of the treasury under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, died on March 3 in Manhattan, two days after suffering a stroke. She was 92.

Mrs. Gerli, a national figure skating judge for more than 70 years and a tennis player, had spent the previous weekend in East Hampton, where she was on the board of the Village Preservation Society, had worked with the East Hampton Historical Society, and volunteered at many long-ago Ladies Village Improvement Society summer fairs, her daughter, Anne (Coco) Shean of Manhattan and East Hampton, said.

“Somebody said that she was the rudder that, when we got off track, steered us straight,” Ms. Shean said yesterday. “She was very demanding and had very high standards — she was steering us straight a lot.”

Mrs. Gerli was a member of the Skating Club of New York and served as vice president and world team leader for United States Figure Skating, the national governing body for the sport, in 1985, and was inducted into its Hall of Fame last year. She was the organization’s Olympic representative in 1981 and ’82. 

Mrs. Gerli was the youngest person to become president of the New York Junior League. As president and board member of the Women’s Prison Association, Girls Service League, and Fountain House, she was a longtime advocate for the rights of women and the mentally ill.

She was born on Dec. 28, 1923, in Manhattan to Owen F. Harvey and the former Anne Woodin. She grew up in Manhattan, and attended the Nightingale-Bamford School and Barnard College there. Summers were spent in East Hampton. She also earned a master’s degree in philosophy from Columbia University, graduating with honors.

Mrs. Gerli’s first husband, Carl W. Gram, died in 1973. She married David Gerli in 1974. He died at the age of 98 in 2009.

In addition to Ms. Shean, two other daughters survive. They are Mary G. Clarke of East Hampton and Carol G. Deane of Boston and East Hampton. Six grandchildren and one great-grandchild also survive.

A memorial service was held on March 11 at Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, to which she belonged. The Rev. Kate Dunn officiated. Mrs. Gerli’s ashes are to be buried in the family plot at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in East Hampton. 

Her family has suggested memorial contributions to the U.S. Figure Skating Memorial Fund, 20 First Street, Colorado Springs, Colo. 80906 or 1961MemorialFund.com, or the East Hampton Historical Society at easthamptonhistory.org.

Frank Albert Hanna III, the proprietor of Frank Hanna’s International Cleaning Company in East Hampton, an Army veteran and an East Hampton native, died at home here last Thursday. He was 54 and had heart disease.

Born on Jan. 31, 1962, he was the son of Rosa Hanna Scott of East Hampton and Frank Hanna II of Nassau, Bahamas. He attended preschool both in East Hampton and at the St. Augustus Preschool in the Bahamas.

Mr. Hanna enlisted in the Army after his graduation from East Hampton High School in 1980 and completed basic training at Fort Jackson in South Carolina, specializing in communication and data processing. He was stationed later at Fort Gordon, Ga.; in Oakland, Calif., and in Seattle, and was also deployed to South Korea for a year. The recipient of an Army Good Conduct Medal and ribbons for Army and overseas service, he held the rank of Specialist 4 at the time of his honorable discharge in 1986. He was a member of East Hampton Post of the American Legion in Amagansett.

Though he had served as an altar boy at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Hampton, he later joined the Calvary Baptist Church, where a wake was held yesterday. Funeral services will take place there this afternoon at 1, the Rev. Walter S. Thompson presiding.

Mr. Hanna met his wife, Doris Rolle, in 1980, while visiting his father in the Bahamas. The couple married in 1985.

He loved cookouts and enjoyed a good meal, his family said. Inseparable from his cellphone, and wearing the jewelry he loved to wear, “you could always see Frank with the biggest grin,” they said, adding that he enjoyed most of all the company of his wife, children, and mother, and also loved to vacation in the Bahamas with his father and other family members. He was always there for his mother, an artist, the family said, and always drove her to and from her art shows from Hempstead to Montauk.

Mr. Hanna’s first job was with Henry Haney of East Hampton, cutting lawns. He also worked for Coit Carpet Cleaning, at the Hess service station, and at the town recycling center before re-establishing the cleaning service founded by his father. He worked there “passionately,” his family said, until the time of his death.

He is survived by his wife, Doris Rolle Hanna, and their three children, Frank Hanna Jr., Franaldo Hanna, and Alexandria Hanna, all of East Hampton. His mother, who lives in East Hampton, and father, of the Bahamas, survive as well, as do two sisters, Katrin Hanna and Francis Chong of the Bahamas, and one grandson.

Burial at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in East Hampton will follow today’s funeral service. The family has suggested memorial contributions to American Legion Post 419, P.O. Box 1265, East Hampton 11937.

Sean Bos, who grew up in Springs and had worked as a commercial fisherman out of Montauk Harbor at one time, died in Northbrook, Ill., on March 21 of a heart attack, his family said. He was 40.

Mr. Bos was the owner of an Allstate Insurance agency in Pocatello, Idaho. He had begun working for Allstate in Charlotte, N.C., after moving there in 2010, then moved to Idaho in 2014. He lived in Chubbuck, Idaho, a Pocatello suburb, with his wife, Leslie Lien.

Mr. Bos was a gun enthusiast and enjoyed spending time at shooting ranges. His three dogs were another of his great pleasures, Ms. Lien said.

During his years at Allstate in Charlotte he was a top performer, ranking in the top 5 percent, Ms. Lien said. In 2014 he was promoted to team leader and sent to Pocatello. His Idaho team also received a top ranking.

He was born on April 3, 1975, in Hempstead to James Bos and Eileen Brierley and attended the Springs School and East Hampton High School.

He is survived by his wife; his father, who lives in North Myrtle Beach, S.C.; his mother, who lives in East Hampton, and his siblings, Kelly Kalman, Ashley Bos, and Jessie Bos of East Hampton, Jamie Bos of Massachusetts, and Thomas Bos of New Hampshire.

A funeral Mass for him will be said at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton on April 9 at 11 a.m. with the Rev. Donald Hanson officiating.

Visiting hours for Barbara Peyton of East Hampton, who died on Monday at the Hamptons Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing in Southampton, will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday at Calvary Baptist Church on Spinner Lane in East Hampton, with her funeral at 1 p.m. Ms. Peyton was 94. An obituary will appear in a future issue.
