Virginia Rizzardi, a former human resources administrator who later used her skills as a vice president and board member of the East Hampton Ladies Village Improvement Society, died on Oct. 24 at home in Springs of lung cancer. She was 77. 

Mrs. Rizzardi, who was called Ginny, volunteered with the Clamshell Foundation, Meals on Wheels, and the Springs Citizens Advisory Committee. She served as a docent for the LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton, was a eucharistic minister for the Diocese of Rockville Centre and Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton, and worked as an election monitor.

She “truly lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures: spending time with friends and family, volunteering, and traveling,” her family wrote. “She had the ability to build wonderful friendships in a deep and meaningful way, while being a woman of great faith.”

She was born on May 24, 1941, in Brooklyn to Harold Brown and the former Louise Dando. She grew up there. After her marriage to Robert Rizzardi, on Sept. 30, 1961, she moved to Bethpage, where the couple raised their daughters, Roberta Grogan of Seaford and Kim Dyer of Glen Cove, both of whom survive. When they were in high school, Mrs. Rizzardi went back to school herself to earn a B.A. from Dowling College in Oakdale. She worked as a human resources administrator for Grumman Data Systems and a credentialist for Avanti Health Care. 

After 35 years in Bethpage, with summers and frequent visits to a family house in Springs, the Rizzardis moved there full time in 1996. In addition to her daughters, her husband and four grandchildren survive. 

A Mass of Christian burial was said at Most Holy Trinity  Church on Monday, with the Rev. Ryan Creamer officiating. She was buried at the church cemetery on Cedar Street in East Hampton. 

Her family has suggested memorial contributions to East Hampton Meals on Wheels, 33 Newtown Lane, Suite 205, East Hampton 11937.

Anne Vasti, the former owner of Pizza Village in Montauk, died of Alzheimer’s disease on Oct. 10 in Summerville, S.C. She was 94, and had been diagnosed several years ago.

Born in the old Italian community of East Harlem on May 19, 1924, to Concetta Coppola and Ralph Giordano, she grew up in the Bronx, graduating from Christopher Columbus High School there. She went on to study public administration at New York University.

She made her first visit to Montauk as a teenager, when her father bought land at Ditch Plain and built a family house on it. In 1948, when he opened Giordano’s Lakeside Inn on Fort Pond, she and her nine siblings were put to work waiting tables, cleaning rooms, and tending to the landscaping. About 10 years later, Mr. Giordano bought an old motel on Main Street and transformed it into Pizza Village. 

Daniel Vasti Sr., whom she had married in 1946 in a double-wedding ceremony with one of her brothers, became the manager of Lakeside in 1957, and the Vastis became part of the Montauk business community. Two years after her father’s death in 1964, they acquired Pizza Village, and ran it for 20 years. Anne commanded the kitchen, cooking her popular linguine with clam sauce, meatball heros, and other dishes from recipes passed down from her mother. She also handled the business side of the restaurant, keeping the books and managing the staff. Her husband was the pizza maker.

Under their ownership, the restaurant became a go-to spot in the hamlet for both locals and tourists. Craig Claiborne, the New York Times food critic, was a fan, and gave the pizza a rave in one of his columns.

Mrs. Vasti was active in Montauk civic affairs as a director of the  Chamber of Commerce and the Montauk Village Association, where she focused on beautifying Main Street, adding maple trees, black pines, planters, and bricking to a previously lackluster street­scape. She also launched the association’s main fund-raiser, its Greenery-Scenery cocktail party, which became one of the big social occasions of the summer. Relatives said it was the only Saturday night that she and her husband would take off from the restaurant. 

The couple spent winters in Delray Beach, Fla., where they both loved to play tennis. They always made a brief return to Montauk to celebrate Christmas. 

A eucharistic minister at St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church in Montauk, Mrs. Vasti was also an active member of a church in Palm Beach, Fla., that had started out as a mission for migrant farm workers. She helped develop it into one of the most diverse parishes in the county. 

After selling Pizza Village to a nephew, Jack Perna, she worked as a real estate agent for the Pospisil Agency. She also managed T-Square, a T-shirt and souvenir shop owned by her daughter and son-in-law before they moved to Summerville, S.C. She eventually joined them there, living nearby.

Her husband died of a heart attack in 1990 while playing tennis. She is survived by her daughter, Joanne Guarneri of Summerville, and a son, Daniel Vasti Jr. of Montauk. Her nephew, Mr. Perna, superintendent of the Montauk School, survives as well, as do four grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

The Rev. Tom Murray will officiate at a funeral Mass on Nov. 13 at St. Therese  in Montauk. Burial at Fort Hill Cemetery will follow.

The family has suggested memorial donations for the church, at P.O. Box 5027, Montauk 11954.

Richard Chauncey Wilson, an East Hampton School Board member who was a Sag Harbor science teacher for 30 years and went on to run the Village Toy Shop in East Hampton, was surrounded by family when he died on Oct. 7 after a long battle with cancer. 

Born in the Bronx on March 19, 1940, to the former Dorothy Fladderman and John Wilson, a New York City police officer, he was the youngest of three. The family lived in a railroad flat, and in the summers they rented a small cabin with no running water or electricity on the Smithtown Bay, where the days were filled with swimming, fishing, and bonfires for warmth and cooking. 

He attended Public School 39 before the family moved to Levittown. After graduating from high school, Mr. Wilson attended Arizona State University.

Traveling back and forth from New York to Arizona on Route 66 in a newly purchased red 1960 Corvette that he was able to buy from money made delivering heavy equipment for G.E., his college summers were focused on making money for the next year. While lifeguarding at Sunken Meadow State Park in Kings Park, he met a lifelong friend, Bob Streck, who introduced him to East Hampton and whose family regularly invited him to their house on Gerard Drive in Springs. 

After graduating from Arizona State University, Mr. Wilson worked as a manager of Hertz Rental Cars in the Bronx, but eventually, “after many more trips out to East Hampton, Rich decided it was time to move to the area and trusted that everything would work out from there,” his family wrote. 

Mr. Wilson began lifeguarding at Georgica and Main Beaches along with Mr. Streck, George Kennedy, Ed McDonald, Paul Amaden, Fred Yardley, and John Tarbet, and took a job as a science teacher in the Sag Harbor School District, where he met his future wife, Patricia Plansker, who was also a teacher.

The couple were married in June 1970 and had three children, Jennifer, Richard Chauncey Jr., and George. “Their lives centered around the beach and their close friends,” his family said. Mr. Wilson continued to lifeguard, and to supplement his income he bartended at Sam’s and Lyons. 

As a science teacher, Mr. Wilson “found success with his students using a hands-on approach to teaching. Because of this success and the enthusiasm of his students, Rich was asked to write the entire science curriculum for the Sag Harbor School District,” his family wrote.

A love for science led the couple to open the Village Toy Shop on Main Street, where among the science-based inventory you could find Lionel trains, board games, unusual toys and gifts, and a surf shop in the back of the store. The store was open from 1986 to 2003.

After retirement, the Wilsons loved to travel with friends and family. They traveled to California to see their son Rick, to Australia to visit their son George and his wife, Danielle, and to many countries with friends and on their own. “They loved to have fun together. Having a drink together at a bar anywhere in the world brought them such joy. They would meet and befriend the regulars no matter where they went,” Mr. Wilson’s family said.

“He loved his friends, and he loved his family passionately, and Rich loved helping people.”

Mr. Wilson “was extremely proud of his three kids,” his family wrote, and he “was a very proud Poppy” to his six grandchildren, Julia and Lucy Short, Camron and Layla Wilson, and Lyla and Liam Wilson. “He also loved with his whole heart and soul Jen’s husband, 

Keith, Rick’s girlfriend, Jenny, and George’s wife, Danielle. He felt that they too were his kids.”

Even while fighting cancer, Mr. Wilson ran for and was voted onto the East Hampton School Board. His second term was to expire in June 2019.

On the school board, Mr. Wilson was instrumental in starting the Invention Convention, implemented use of the first Full Option Science System science kits, and worked hard to obtain foundation grants. During his tenure, East Hampton schools introduced new programs in coding and robotics and a full-day prekindergarten program, all of which he was proud of. “His legacy has affected many generations of students to come,” his family wrote.

The Wilsons were members of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, where Mr. Wilson worked with the Rev. Gerardo Roma-Garcia “handing out sandwiches to the day workers at the East Hampton train station,” his family said. He loved to host the church’s coffee hour and to listen to the Very Rev. Denis Brunelle’s Sunday sermons. 

A service was held on Friday at St. Luke’s. 

His family has suggested donations to the Hispanic Ministry of the East End, St. Thomas Discretionary Fund, 315 Pine Street, Mattituck 11952.

A service for Fred P. Anduze will be held on Nov. 3 at 11 a.m. at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Hampton. The Rev. Leandra Lambert will officiate. A celebration of his life will follow that evening from 6 to 8 at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett.

Mr. Anduze, who was known as Carlos, died on Oct. 8 at home on Woodbine Drive in Springs. He was 90. An obituary will appear in a future issue.

Patricia Ann Keegan of East Hampton Village died on Oct. 5 at the Kanas Center for Hospice Care in Quiogue, at the age of 83. She had been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer a month before her death.

Ms. Keegan worked for almost 40 years with John Courtney’s law firm in Amagansett. She was a dedicated volunteer at the East Hampton Neighborhood House, at Southampton Hospital, and at the East Hampton Food Pantry, and a eucharistic minister at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton.

Patricia Ann Keegan was born in Brooklyn on July 13, 1935, one of four children of the former Marion T. Kenny and Eugene E. Keegan. She grew up in Queens, graduating from Dominican Commercial High School in Jamaica.

In the mid-1950s she married Richard A. Schmitter, who now lives in Ocala, Fla. They had five sons, one of whom, Ronald, died in infancy. The Schmitters moved to East Hampton in 1968; the marriage ended years later in divorce.

Ms. Keegan married Donald Schrage of East Hampton in 2005. Mr. Schrage survives, as does a brother, Dennis Keegan of Garden City, and a sister, Rosemarie Cahill of Key Largo, Fla. Another sister, Jean Keegan, died before her.

Her four surviving sons are Richard Schmitter of Coventry, R.I., Raymond Schmitter of Napa, Calif., and Robert Schmitter and Ryan Schmitter of East Hampton. Their mother was “beautiful and elegant,” they said.

The Rev. Ryan Creamer of Most Holy Trinity Church will preside at a funeral service there on Wednesday, with Mass said at 11 a.m. The family has invited those who knew Ms. Keegan to a reception afterward at 30 Cooper Lane, from 1 to 4 p.m. She was cremated; her ashes will be buried at the church’s cemetery on Cedar Street.

Eileen T. Bock of Montauk, who was a co-founder of the hamlet’s senior nutrition program, died on Oct. 8, her 82nd birthday, at the Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead. The cause was not immediately known. 

Twenty-five years ago at the Montauk Community Church, Ms. Bock and Dorothy Lamay began the nutrition program, said Ms. Bock’s nephew Eric Salvadori, who works there as a chef. She saw a need, he said, for a place where the hamlet’s older citizens could go to be around others — have lunch, play games, watch movies, and enjoy conversation. “Their vision was something that the community of Montauk really needed,” Mr. Salvadori said. 

Ms. Bock remained dedicated to the program, and only retired at the end of June, as its executive director. The not-for-profit Montauk Senior Nutrition Program has been run out of the Montauk Playhouse since 2005. 

Ms. Bock was born on Oct. 8, 1936, at Queens General Hospital in Jamaica, to John J. Tschantre and the former Adele A. Fessler. She grew up in Whitestone, and attended P.S. 79 and the School for the Industrial Arts. 

She was a photographer at United Press International when she met her husband, Alexander P. Bock. They lived in Manhattan and vacationed in Montauk for five years before buying a house on Fleming Road in 1971. 

After they decided to live in the hamlet year round, she worked for a time as the Montauk correspondent for The East Hampton Star. She was a member of the Montauk School Board from 1997 to 2007, said Jack Perna, the school superintendent, and was also involved with the Friends of the Montauk Library. 

A dog lover, Ms. Bock supported the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, for which memorial donations have been suggested. ARF’s address is P.O. Box 901, Wainscott 11975.

Her husband predeceased her. A sister, Adele M. Scott of Marshall, Mo., survives, as do several nephews, among them Mr. Salvadori. Two sisters, Cari Salvadori and Joan Higgins, died before her. 

Ms. Bock was cremated. Her ashes were buried at Fort Hill Cemetery in Montauk.

Mary J. Wymes, a longtime Montauk resident and member of the Montauk Fire Department’s Ladies Auxiliary, died on Oct. 19 at an assisted living home in Rochester. She was 91.

Born in Tipperary, Ireland, on Oct. 22, 1926, to Bridget and Herbert Cullen, she came to New York City with her family at the age of 7. She was a graduate of St. Vincent Ferrer High School in Manhattan.

She married John E. Wymes in 1950. In the 1960s, the couple bought a house in Montauk and started a family. She lived in the hamlet for 46 years, until 2010, when she moved to Rochester to be closer to her daughter.

 During her time on the South Fork, Mrs. Wymes held a variety of jobs. Her favorite workplaces were the gift shop at the Montauk Lighthouse and White’s department store. She was a member of St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church. 

Her husband died in 2006. She is survived by three children, Christine Bamford of Rochester, Robert Wymes of North Attleboro, Mass., and William Wymes of Massapequa Park. Seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren survive as well. 

The Rev. Tom Murray of St. Therese will officiate at an 11 a.m. funeral Mass there on Saturday, followed by burial at Fort Hill Cemetery. The family has suggested memorial donations for the church, P.O. Box 5027, Montauk 11954, or for the Montauk Fire Department at 12 Flamingo Avenue.

A memorial service for Sarah de Havenon Fowler of Amagansett, who died on Friday, will be held at the East Hampton Presbyterian Church at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Ms. de Havenon Fowler was a co-owner of French Presse in Amagansett. An obituary will appear in a future issue.

Kenneth E. Scott, who was superintendent of the East Hampton Town Parks and Recreation Department from 1990 to 2005 and also had a long naval career, died at home in Springs on Oct. 16 after a series of protracted illnesses. He was 74.

Mr. Scott, an East Hampton native, joined the Navy in 1963 and served on submarines until 1969. He was a member of what was called the Blue Crew, aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, a 381-foot-long nuclear-powered ballistic-missile sub, during the Vietnam War era. It remained underwater for 60 to 90 days on cruises that began at Groton, Conn., and ended at Holy Loch, Scotland, where the men were flown home, to be replaced by the Gold Crew and await their next deployment.

He was then appointed director of morale, welfare, and recreation at the Department of Defense submarine base in Groton, where he worked for 21 years. His onshore responsibilities included running schools for children on the base, overseeing the maintenance of a golf course, and booking entertainment — notably the Beach Boys, twice, and the Charlie Daniels Band.

He was born on May 30, 1944, to Kenneth E. Scott Sr. and the former Ruth Bogue. He grew up in East Hampton and attended high school here, where he was an all-county basketball star and standout baseball player. He was president of his East Hampton High School class for three of his four years there.

He married Denise Morgan on March 15, 1991. 

After Mr. Scott’s return to this area, he became active in American Legion Post 419 in Amagansett, where he was a second vice commander. He liked to travel, watch old Westerns, spend time with family and friends, and cheer on the New York Mets and Giants. Among trips with his wife were R.V. tours of the West and a drive from Niagara Falls down the New England coast, stopping at small towns along the way.

His wife, who survives, said he could be serious, keeping up with the news, but was also fun-loving and had great wit. 

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his sons, Kenneth E. Scott III and Aaron Scott of Groton, and his stepchildren, Kristin Figueroa of Chalfont, Pa., Thomas Walcott of Gilbert, Ariz., Ronald Walcott of Bellair, Md., and Michelle Grant of East Hampton, His siblings, Jacklyn Baker of Florida, Marilyn Tillinghast of East Hampton, and Ace Strong of California, also survive, as do 13 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. His parents and two sisters, Jerrilyn Berkley and Adrienne Bellar, died before him.

An American Legion memorial dinner in his honor was held on Oct. 22. Burial was at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in East Hampton on Oct. 23, with naval honors, including “Taps” and the presentation of the flag. The Rev. Scot McCachren of the East Hampton Presbyterian Church officiated.

Memorial donations have been suggested to American Legion Post 419, P.O. Box 1343, East Hampton 11937.

Lea Guyer Gordon of Litchfield, Conn., a native of East Hampton who later in life had a house in Sagaponack, died on Sept. 19. The cause was said to be congestive heart failure. She was 90.

Mrs. Gordon had a career in publishing as a researcher and reporter at Newsweek Magazine, Time Magazine, and Time-Life Books, and later as a nonfiction editor at Meriwether Press and Macmillan Publishing, and as a senior freelance editor at Reader’s Digest General Books. After 35 years she retired, and became a fine-arts appraiser and a member of the Appraisers Association of America.

She was born here on July 9, 1928, to George W. Guyer and the former Margaret Gay. She was a graduate of the Mary A. Burnham School in Northampton, Mass., and of the class of 1950 at Pembroke College, then the women’s college adjunct to Brown University.
