    George Dayton Payne III died in his sleep on Dec. 11 at the East Hampton house where he had lived for most of his life. He was 86. In his last years he had emphysema and vascular disease that resulted in the amputation of one of his legs.

    Born in East Hampton on May 18, 1926, to George Payne Jr. and Viola Teale Payne, he graduated from East Hampton High School and went to college for a time before joining the work force. His many jobs included working as a mail carrier and at the Promised Land fish warehouse on Napeague, where he once had to contend with flooding during a hurricane. He also worked on Gardiner’s Island.

    Mr. Payne served in the Navy from Aug. 15, 1944, to July 7, 1946, on the U.S.S. Douglas Fox. His final station was at Lido Beach in Nassau County.

    He married Phyllis Denton in the late 1950s. The couple divorced in 1978. She died in 1991.

    In warm weather, Mr. Payne enjoyed vigils on his porch during which “he liked to watch the cars go by,” said his daughter, Pamela Alvarez, who with her husband lived with Mr. Payne. He would share stories with anyone who would listen, which will be missed, she said.

    Over the years, Mr. Payne enjoyed bowling in several leagues, whittling, gardening, fishing, and spending time at “Caldor East,” an exchange at the East Hampton Town recycling center. “He brought home more than he left,” his family said. He was involved with the Veterans of Foreign Wars and St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Hampton.

    In addition to his daughter, Mr. Payne is survived by a sister, Agnes Wingo of Illinois. Another sister, Mary Payne Frayer, and a brother, Jessie Payne, died before him.

    He was buried at Green River Cemetery in Springs, where a graveside service was held on Friday.

    With his wife, Rosetta, Mr. Varuolo moved to North Haven in 1985 and built a retirement house on Cove’s End Lane. Mrs. Varuolo survives.

    He was born in Corona, Queens, on June 28, 1924, a son of Frank Varuolo and the former Elvira Margiotta, and attended Newtown High School in Elmhurst.

    After serving in the Army during World War II, Mr. Varuolo married the former Rosetta D’Angelo in 1950. The couple lived in Corona, and then in Seaford, where Mr. Varuolo worked as an electrician for the Lilly Tulip Corporation. He also worked as a maintenance man for the Nassau County Health Department, and, with a brother, founded a retail go-kart business in Baldwin.

    A dedicated sports fan, he followed the New York Rangers. He also enjoyed playing poker.

    James Bernard Leonard, a former newspaper pressman, died on Thanksgiving Day in a hospital in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. He was 91 and had gone to Florida to visit a son.

He went on to become a pressman for The New York Journal-American, The New York Times, and The Daily News, working for that paper in Long Island City until he retired.

    Ray D. Lingwood, a civic-minded member of the Bridgehampton-Water Mill community and founder of the Bridgehampton I.G.A., died on Thanksgiving Day at home in Water Mill. He was three days shy of his 91st birthday.

    Mr. Lingwood was a World War II veteran, a sergeant in the Army Air Corps in charge of a photographic unit in the Pacific theater. He served from August 1942 to the end of the war.

    He was born in New Rochelle, N.Y., on Nov. 25, 1921, the son of Ray Lingwood and the former Anna Hoyette. He graduated from Southampton High School with the class of 1939.

    That same year, he began working at the Western Union research laboratory in Water Mill, a job he held until 1949 and from 1953 to 1964. In between he worked as a grocer. In 1964 he purchased a market, expanded it, and in 1971 founded the Bridgehampton I.G.A. He liked to call it “the unusual supermarket” because it specialized in out-of-the-ordinary items.

    Mr. Lingwood enjoyed traveling within the U.S. and abroad and keeping a garden. He was active in the community, a member of the Old Town Masonic Lodge, the Loyal Order of the Moose, the Bridgehampton Lions Club, and the Water Mill Community Club.

He was perceptive, eager to learn, and a reader who loved going to bookstores to get new releases. He was a member of the National Honor Society and National Spanish Honor Society in high school.

    Days in Montauk were filled with beach time, dinners from Herb’s market, and eager waits for Montauk Mary’s ice cream truck. He played soccer, hockey, baseball, and basketball. In high school, he was a standout in the pole vault and track and, later, was a most-valuable player in a men’s soccer league. One of his sisters, Cara Rooney, attends Fordham University, where she plays on the women’s soccer team; her brother taught her the sport.

    Mr. Rooney graduated from Stony Brook University and was working as an account manager at Flushing Savings Bank.
