William Scott Tiernan of Laramie, Wyo., who spent childhood summers in East Hampton, died on July 27 in a fire at his house there. He was 67.

Known as Scott, or Grand Dude to his grandchildren and Wild Bill when on his Wyoming ranch, he was born on May 18, 1951, in West Orange, N.J., the second of four children of the former Lynda Scheerer of East Hampton and Gulf Stream, Fla., who survives, and John William Tiernan, who died before him.

Mr. Tiernan grew up in Delray Beach, Fla., Cape Cod, and East Hampton. He graduated from Avon Old Farms School in Avon, Conn., where he lettered in football, wrestling, and lacrosse. After graduating, he served on the school’s board and donated a wrestling room in honor of his father.

His family said that he “packed a lot of lives into one” and that he may have attended college “for a minute” but had too much to do and see to stay long enough to get a degree. He traveled around the world and had many adventures before moving to Gulf Stream, down the road from where he had grown up, and becoming a partner in the real estate brokerage firm Allmon and Tiernan (which would later become Allmon, Tiernan, and Ely before being sold to Corcoran in 2005).

He also served for a time on the board of the family’s company, the resortwear and sportswear retailer Mark, Fore and Strike, which was started in 1951 and bought from its founders by Mr. Tiernan’s father. It was sold in 2003.

After Mr. Tiernan retired, he bought a piece of property outside Laramie, where he built a ranch and made huge metal sculptures, which, his family said, delighted his grandchildren.

Living life to the fullest was always foremost in his mind, his family said, as were motorcycling, snowboarding, sailing, and surfing. “The man was fearless,” the family said. “He was a surfer dude, a family man, a businessman, a cowboy, and an incredible artist.”

In summers, even as an adult, he would visit his mother, now Lynda Scheerer Stokes, at her East Hampton house. In addition to her, Mr. Tiernan is survived by his brother, Michael Whitaker Tiernan, and his sister Ann Purcell Tiernan, both of Delray Beach, and his other sister, Martha Tiernan Ely of Gulf Stream; his daughter, Cary Tiernan Butterfield of Bermuda; his three sons, Scott Durand Tiernan of Newport Beach, Calif., Parker Knight Tiernan of Delray Beach, and John Sears Tiernan of Great Falls, Mont., as well as three grandchildren. Mr. Tiernan’s two marriages — the first to Carolyn Riley, the second to Kim Allmon Tiernan of Guana Cay, Bahamas, the mother of his four children — ended in divorce.

In addition to his immediate family, he is survived by scores of friends “who will remember fondly his bright blue eyes, surfer dude hair, and thirst for adventure,” his family said. “As he moves on to this last, most epic adventure,” they said, they all wish him “fair skies and big waves.”

Mr. Tiernan’s children spread his ashes at his ranch, as he had requested. They are planning a celebration of Mr. Tiernan’s life for a future date.

A memorial service for Andrew Bonertz, who died on June 15 at the age of 28, will be held at the Maidstone Park pavilion in Springs on Tuesday night at 8. Mr. Bonertz lived in East Hampton with his partner, Leigh Goodstein, and their 1-year-old son, and worked at the Clam Bar on Napeague as a cook.

Rob Roden of East Hampton, the founder of the Antigua and Barbuda Hamptons Challenge Sailing Race, died at his sister’s home in Hampton Bays on Saturday. He was 70 and had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer six weeks ago.

His family said that after he moved to the South Fork in the 1960s, he was one of the original group of surfers at Flying Point, who once converted an ambulance into a “surf-mobile” and drove it across the country with his dog Heidi.

In the 1970s and ’80s he moved to Manhattan and worked as the advertising director of Beverage Media, which his family said had the largest circulation in the liquor magazine field.

In the 1990s Mr. Roden returned here to work as the national sales director of Dan’s Papers and, in 1994, he and the former Theresa Nevico married. As an outgrowth of his love of boating, he started Captain’s Guide Magazine in 1997, traveling with his wife and young daughter, who was born that year, to ports along the East Coast and across the Caribbean and spending summers with them on Block Island. Boating, telling a good story, and his family were his principal interests.

Mr. Roden was born in Manhattan on Nov. 10, 1947, one of two children of the former Frances Barry and Walter Roden. He grew up in Babylon and graduated from the University of Bridgeport, in Connecticut, with a degree in history.

About six or seven years ago he launched the first Antigua and Barbuda Hamptons Challenge Sailing Race, held in and around Noyac Bay. He was working on this year’s Challenge — which his family called “the East Coast’s premier sailing event, with the largest prize to be found anywhere from Maine to Florida — just before he died. The regatta will go off as planned on Saturday, with a celebration of his life to take place during the awards party from 5 to 8 p.m. that day at Havens Beach in Sag Harbor.

In addition to his sister, Susan Barry Roden of Hampton Bays, his wife, Theresa Roden, who started the “transformation through triathlon” (I-Tri) program for girls, survives, as do his daughter, Abby Barry Roden, and many Barry cousins.

Relatives said that in all his travels, Mr. Roden “never met a stranger. He could tell a story better than anyone else, keeping listeners gasping for breath as he described hilarious exploits.”

The family received visitors yesterday at the Brockett Funeral Home in Southampton in the afternoon and the evening. A funeral service will take place today at 10 a.m. at Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Catholic Church in Southampton, with Father Bill Gill, Deacon Joe Hopgood, and Abbot Matthew Leavy, a Benedictine monk from Abby Roden’s college, officiating. A reception will follow at Maura Sabo’s residence in Southampton.

Mr. Roden’s ashes will be spread at his two favorite places, Block Island and the British West Indies.

The family has suggested memorial donations for Mr. Roden’s daughter’s education. Checks can be made out to Abby Roden with “Education Fund” on the memo line, and sent to Bridgehampton National Bank, Attention Michael Molinaro, 94 East Montauk Highway, Hampton Bays 11946.

Anthony Lee Bowen of Montauk and formerly of Park Ridge, N.J., died on July 4 at St. Catherine’s Hospital in Smithtown. He was 80 and had been unwell since last autumn.

He was born in Park Ridge on Dec. 31, 1937, a son of George Bowen and the former Eleanor Herbert, and grew up there. After graduating in 1960 from Saint Michael’s College in Colchester, Vt., he returned home to work with his parents, uncle, and brother at Bowen & Bowen, accountants and auditors, a family business. His daughter and son-in-law eventually joined the business as well.

In 1962, during the Cuban missile crisis, Mr. Bowen served in the Naval Air Force. He and his wife, the former Eileen O’Brien, had been married the year before and spent their honeymoon in Montauk; they eventually bought a house there, where he enjoyed paddling about and fishing. After he retired in 2008, the Bowens split their time between Montauk and Stowe, Vt. Mr. Bowen skied there as much as possible, even during his last winter, his daughter said, adding that he was known for his love of the outdoors, his big smile, and his enthusiasm for life, “which he shared with all he met.”

In addition to his wife and daughter, Jennifer Bartz of Park Ridge, he is survived by two sons, Geoffrey Bowen of Montauk and George Bowen of Reading, Mass. He also leaves a brother, Peter Bowen of Montauk and Montvale, N.J., and four grandchildren. 

Mr. Bowen, who was cremated, was a parishioner of St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church in Montauk, Blessed Sacrament in Stowe, and Our Lady of Mercy in Park Ridge, where Msgr. James Turro offered a funeral Mass on July 9.

Memorial donations have been suggested for the Stowe Public School Friday Scholarship Fund, 413 Barrows Road, Stowe, Vt. 05672, which enables schoolchildren to participate in a weekly ski-and-ride program.

Correction: An earlier version of this obituary misidentified Mr. Bowen's daughter. She is Jennifer Bartz. That version also listed an incorrect maiden name for Mr. Bowen's mother. Her maiden name was Herbert.

Rita Paon, who lived for about 80 years in Montauk, died there on July 16. She was 105.

Born in Arichat, Nova Scotia, to Walter Briand and the former Marie Des Roches, Ms. Paon, one of 10 children, at age 16 came to Montauk — at the time a small fishing village very like Arichat — to join her father and a sister. Her mother died when she was 6.

She married a young man who had lived across the street from her family in Arichat. Two of her sisters married two of his brothers, and they settled in Montauk as well. Other siblings remained in Canada.

Clarence and Rita Paon lived in the old fishing village on Fort Pond Bay until the 1938 Hurricane. On the day of the storm, which wiped out much of the village, it was someone’s birthday, and a cake was on the table, ready to eat, when the couple had to flee to higher ground. When the hurricane passed they returned to the house, which had sustained exterior damage, and found the cake intact. It has been known as the Birthday Cake House ever since.

They moved the house, after renovations, to Edgemere Street, where she died.

In 1947 the Paons opened Clarence’s Grocery Store on Main Street in Montauk. Mr. Paon died in 1958, and Ms. Paon continued to run the store until 1970, when she opened a new store with her son, Ronald, who survives. They called it Ronnie’s Grocery and Deli. She walked to work there until she retired in 1976. Ronnie’s was sold in April 2012 and closed about six months later.

Ms. Paon loved spending time with her family and friends and enjoyed card games, pinochle and canasta, and bingo. They would bet for food items, such as a stick of butter, rather than money, her son said.

She never got a driver’s license, which did not stop her from attending church services at St. Therese of Lisieux, where she was a member of the Altar Society and the Rosary Society. A funeral Mass was celebrated there on Friday, followed by burial at Most Holy Trinity Cemetery in East Hampton. 

Memorial donations have been suggested for St. Therese Church, 67 South Essex Street, Montauk 11954, and the Montauk Fire Department, 12 Flamingo Avenue, Montauk 11954.

Edward Paul Miller II, a computer specialist who recently had been ordained as a minister with Universal Life Ministries of Glen County, Ga., died of renal failure on June 30 in Brunswick, Ga., where he lived. He was 43 and had been ill for four years. 

Mr. Miller was born in Southampton on Oct. 15, 1974, to Edward Paul Miller Sr. and the former Holly Ducharme. He grew up in East Hampton and attended school here and in Southold, graduating from East Hampton High School in 1992. He then joined the Navy. 

Long interested in computers, Mr. Miller used his expertise to open a business in Brunswick, Ga. In his leisure time, he enjoyed building model boats and cars and loved to fish. “He was a real Bonacker,” said his stepmother, Joanne English Miller. 

He is survived by his father and stepmother, who live in Washington, N.C., his mother, who lives in East Hampton, and a son, Edward Paul Miller III of Connecticut. He also leaves a partner, Anne McDonald, a stepdaughter, Rachel King, both of Brunswick, a grandchild, and three siblings, Dawn Tilley of upstate New York and Raiyha and Ricky Daniels of East Hampton.

A Mass for Nicholas Sennefelder, a former Montauk resident who died on June 27 in Abingdon, Va., will be said on Friday, Aug. 3, at 11 a.m. at St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church in Montauk. An obituary in last week’s paper had the wrong time for the Mass.

Laura Wojciechowski, who came to the United States from Belarus as a teenager and made Sag Harbor her home for more than 50 years, died of a stroke on July 9 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Tucson. She was 84. 

Ms. Wojciechowski was one of five children born to Francesca and Michael Lazarewicz, on June 15, 1934, in Kobzevichi, a village near Minsk. She came to this country in the 1940s as a displaced person traveling with relatives, settling in Sag Harbor in 1949. Two years later, she met Vincent Wojciechowski, the man who would become her husband, at a Sag Harbor delicatessen near St. Andrew’s Catholic Church. They married three months later, in early 1952, and raised four children. He died more than 60 years later, in 2016. 

Ms. Wojciechowski was a consummate homemaker who loved taking care of her family. During the summer, she was known for entertaining friends and relatives in her backyard, barbecuing and talking politics. In winter, she enjoyed helping her husband make chicken and tomato soups, recipes that became a family tradition. 

She also worked for many years as a housekeeper for John McCulloch in East Hampton. Upon retirement, she and her husband moved to South Carolina, to be near their daughter Teresa Matthews. 

On the South Fork, she was an active member of St. Andrew’s Catholic Church in Sag Harbor and Our Lady of Poland Catholic Church in Southampton. 

After her husband died, she moved in with her son Peter Wojciechowski and his wife, Vicki, living first in Melbourne, Fla., before recently moving to Tucson.

She is survived by her children, Josephine Vroman of Welches, Ore., Ms. Matthews of Fort Mill, S.C., David Wojciechowski of Carlsbad, Calif., and Peter Wojciechowski of Tucson. Seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren also survive. 

In celebration of her life, the family welcomed visitors on July 16 to the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in Sag Harbor. A Mass of Christian burial was said by the Rev. Chris Kaucha on July 17 at Our Lady of Poland. It was followed by burial at Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary Cemetery in Southampton.

Steven Douglas Strauss of Toledo, Ohio, who spent summers since he was a child on Shore Road in Amagansett, died on July 20 at Stony Brook University Hospital of complications from a stroke. He was 52.

Mr. Strauss was a Latin teacher at Notre Dame Academy in Toledo for over 20 years. “His passion for learning could be noted as he quietly read his latest history tome on the porch of the beach house, one of his favorite pastimes,” wrote a friend who set up a memorial fund online that will raise money for his two college-age children.

He was born to Raymond Strauss and the former Lois Kelly on Dec. 27, 1965, in Smryna, Tenn. He grew up in Englewood, N.J., and then moved to Ohio, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in classical history from Hiram College and a Juris Doctor degree from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland.

Mr. Strauss married Christine Fox on Sept. 20, 1990. They had two children, Christopher Fox-Strauss and Anne Fox-Strauss. His mother, who lives in Hackensack, N.J., also survives, as does a brother, Keith “Von” Strauss of Islandia.

He loved to cook, was fascinated by bird law, and enjoyed traveling, his family said. 

Mr. Strauss fell ill while watching the World Cup final with friends and family at the Amagansett Seafood Store. His family thanked “the excellent first responders” from Amagansett, as well as Mike O’Rourke, the owner of the store and a longtime family friend, for their help and comfort.

A private ceremony with family will be held on the dunes near his summer house to disperse his ashes along with the ashes of his beloved Irish Wolfhound, Skepna, who died two days after him. 

Memorial contributions have been suggested to an education fund that has been set up for his children. 

Rian J. White of Springs died of cancer on July 25 at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. He was 62 and had been ill for two years.

Mr. White was an accomplished photographer who had a large portfolio of images taken on trips he made to Cuba between 1998 and 2007. He moved to the area in the 1980s and to Springs in 1992. He earned a living as a trap fisherman, restoration carpenter, and contractor, at one time owning Barn Orphanage, a company that deconstructed and reconstructed old barns.

He was born on Nov. 14, 1955, in Islip, one of four children of the former Audrey Bauer, who survives, and Richard J. White, who died before him. He grew up in Centre Island and in 1977 earned a bachelor’s degree in fine arts photography at the State University at Plattsburgh.

Fishing and photography remained lifelong pastimes, as did downhill skiing. He lived for a time in Park City, Utah, and “was quite the hot-shot skier and skiied the areas that we are told to stay out of,” his sister Shawn McCarthy said.

In addition to his mother, Audrey White of San Marcos, Calif., and Ms. McCarthy,  who lives in Petaluma, Calif., a son, Tyrone Coughlin of Nashville, a professional bass player, survives, as do two other sisters, Kelly Kepler of Menlo Park, Calif., and Tracy Falina of Rosarito Beach, Mexico.

Peter Strugatz, a friend for 40 years, said that Mr. White was “an expert in music, not just from working the Talkhouse door for many years,” and that he had taken thousands of photographs in Cuba and befriended several young Cuban artists. Once the photos are digitized, Mr. Strugatz said, Getty Images, a stock photo agency with headquarters in Seattle, Wash., is expected to be interested in acquiring them.

Mr. White’s family held a memorial gathering on Sunday at Ashawagh Hall in Springs, and friends and family scattered his ashes at sea off Montauk. They suggested memorial donations to Ashawagh Hall, P.O. Box 537, East Hampton 11937 or ashawagh.hall.org.
