Katherine A. Hargreaves, a world traveler, soap opera enthusiast, frequent Montauk visitor, and the former executive secretary for the Springfield Symphony Orchestra in Springfield, Mass., died of complications from hip surgery on May 26 at the Bristal Assisted Living community in Sayville. She was 88. 

Mrs. Hargreaves, whom friends called Kentsy, was born in Hartford on Dec. 2, 1929, to Herbert G. Behan and Elsie F. Farrell. Her early years were spent in West Hartford, where she graduated from the Oxwood School, an all-girls private high school. She went on to attend Bradford Junior College in Massachusetts; then transferred to Brown University, graduating in 1956. 

Afterward, she prepared for a secretarial career at the Katharine Gibbs School in Boston, and became a private secretary at the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company. After several years there, she left to work for the Springfield Symphony Orchestra. 

In 1965, she married Walter A. Hargreaves, a physicist and the founder of Optovac, a company that manufactured optical fluoride crystals. The couple lived in the country town of West Brookfield, Mass., where they enjoyed playing golf and planning frequent trips to exotic locales around the globe. Mrs. Hargreaves was also enthusiastic about bridge, gardening, and reading.

After her husband retired, the couple moved to Hilton Head, S.C., and later to the Oak Harbor Retirement Community in Vero Beach, Fla. He died in 2013, after which she lived in Montauk for a year before moving to Sayville. 

She is survived by a niece, Jane Bimson, and a nephew, Chris Behan, both of Montauk. A memorial service and the dispersal of her ashes will take place at a later date at St. Michael’s Cemetery in Springfield. Memorial contributions can be made to the Animal Rescue Fund, P.O. Box 901, Wainscott 11975.

Joe Pintauro, a prolific playwright and fixture of the theatrical and literary worlds, died at home in Sag Harbor on May 29 in the company of his husband and partner of 40 years, Greg Therriault. He was 87.

The world premiere of his play “Men’s Lives,” an adaptation of Peter Matthiessen’s book about the fishermen of the South Fork, opened the first season of Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor in 1992. 

“That was a magical time,” recalled Mr. Therriault, “when Emma Walton, Steve Hamilton, and Sybil Christopher decided they were going to make a theater in Sag Harbor and chose Joe to write the first play based on ‘Men’s Lives.’ It was a very important time in Joe’s life, his artistic life, and his life here in the community.”

Mr. Therriault also noted the importance of “Raft of the Medusa,” which Mr. Pintauro wrote in 1992 in response to the AIDS epidemic. “Joe was very responsive to what was happening in the culture and tried to articulate for people not only what he thought but hopefully what they were thinking as well.” “Raft of the Medusa” was produced at the Minetta Lane Theater in Manhattan.

His many other plays include “Snow Orchid,” which was produced with Olympia Dukakis and Peter Boyle at Circle Rep in New York in 1982, and, in 1989, “Beside Herself,” which featured William Hurt, Calista Flockhart, and Lois Smith, also at Circle Rep.

Three of the works in “Metropolitan Operas,” his collection of 40 one-act plays, were adapted by Kevin Jeffers in “Salvation,” a contemporary musical theater piece that had its premiere at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill on May 25. 

Mr. Pintauro also wrote novels, poetry, short stories, and, during the past 10 years, exhibited his photographs, a selection of which, titled “Nunc et Semper,” was published in 2013. His awards include the 2007 Guild Hall Academy of the Arts Lifetime Achievement Award in literary arts and the 2005 John Steinbeck Literary Award.

“Joe Pintauro was a true original,” Scott Schwartz, Bay Street Theater’s artistic director, said. “He was a great playwright whose work delved deep into the human condition and whose voice will continue to resonate and inspire.”

Joseph T. Pintauro was born in Ozone Park, Queens, on Nov. 22, 1930, to Aniello Pintauro and the former Carmela Iovino. He attended Manhattan College, earning a degree in advertising and marketing. While he was there, his mother was dying. “Death was a pure shock to me,” he said in an interview published in The Star in 2014. “I never expected it to come so soon in my life, so I began searching.”

The search led him to St. Jerome’s College in Ontario for a degree in philosophy, and to Our Lady of Angels, a seminary at Niagara University, to study theology. He was ordained in 1958 and assigned to a diocese in Brooklyn. 

“He was such a popular and charismatic priest that not only did people who had been his parishioners still keep in touch with him, he also saved lives and changed lives in a very important way,” Mr. Therriault said. “The diocese did not want him to leave, because he was very good at what he was doing.”

“He had gone to Peru and Chile and worked with the poor when the church was very much involved with liberation theology and very progressive. The confines of the church hierarchy were just too much for our Joe in terms of his creativity and his emotional life, and so he received a dispensation and left.” 

“State of Grace,” his second novel, published in 1983, was based on his experiences in Brooklyn and South America.

After leaving the priesthood, his continuing involvement in spiritual thought led to the “Trilogy of Belief” series, three volumes of poetry illustrated by the artist Sister Corita Kent and published by Harper & Row from 1968 to 1971.

“Those books were part of what was going on in the culture,” said Mr. Therriault. “They had an antiwar sentiment, they were very inclusive, they were stunning graphically, and they provided people access to a spiritual life in a different way from that of the traditional church.”

Mr. Pintauro subsequently attended Fordham University, where he earned a master’s degree in American literature, and worked for several major advertising agencies, including Young & Rubicam and Ted Bates. “He was a ‘Mad Man’ during those years,” Mr. Therriault said.

“I was struck most of all by his kindness,” said Kristen Lowman, an actress who read excerpts from “Metropolitan Operas” in 2015 with her husband, the actor Harris Yulin. “No matter that a room was crowded with people yackety-yacking, music blaring, Joe would look at you, be with you, with his deep lulling voice. Joe listened and he remembered.”

“I loved Joe Pintauro,” Mr. Yulin said. “Most everyone who had the opportunity to know him loved him. How could you not love Joe? He was generous beyond measure, a writer and photographer of real accomplishment, a person of infinite possibilities. Take him all in all, he was a man.”

In addition to Mr. Therriault, whom he married in December 2013, a niece, Barbara Lobosco, and two nephews, Richard Pintauro and Robert Pintauro, survive him. A brother, Anthony Pintauro, and a sister, Mildred Salvaggio, predeceased him.

“Joe changed my life in every way,” said Mr. Therriault. “I’m just grateful for the 40 years. I’m heartbroken.”

A funeral Mass was said yesterday at St. Andrew’s Catholic Church in Sag Harbor. A memorial service will take place in New York City at a later date.

Mr. Therriault suggested contributions in Mr. Pintauro’s memory to the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, P.O. Box 901, Wainscott 11975, or to the Sag Harbor Partnership, for the rebuilding of the Sag Harbor Cinema, P.O. Box 182, Sag Harbor 11963.

Hundreds of mourners, including former Irish Republican leader Gerry Adams, the cookbook author and television host Martha Stewart, and the professional golfer Ben Crenshaw, attended a funeral in East Hampton on Friday for Ben and Bonnie Krupinski and their grandson, William Maerov, three of the four people who died on June 2 when the small plane they were flying in crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off Amagansett.

Mr. Krupinski, who got his start digging clams in East Hampton waters to make money to buy his first car, built a multifaceted empire that consisted of a construction company, restaurants, and an air services terminal at East Hampton Airport. Mrs. Krupinski worked in her family's sand and gravel business, at their golf course, and by her husband's side. Mr. Maerov, a graduate of the St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Del., was in his third year at Georgetown University.

Mr. Adams, Ms. Stewart, and Mr. Crenshaw, who were close friends of the Krupinskis and Mr. Maerov, were among more than a dozen speakers and clergy members at the funeral at an overflowing East Hampton Presbyterian Church on Main Street. Other mourners filled the church Session House nearby to watch on closed-circuit TV, and yet more stood outside.

Friday's funeral followed a wake the evening before in East Hampton that hundreds attended. Services for Jon Dollard of Hampton Bays, a pilot who was the fourth person aboard the plane when it went down, will be held separately.

Mr. Adams, who sat next to Ms. Stewart in a front pew, said that he was deeply saddened. "This has robbed us of three beautiful people," he said. Mr. and Mrs. Krupinski were longtime supporters of the political movement Sinn Fein and of the Irish peace process. Both were proud of their Irish roots, Mr. Adams said.

"Words cannot express the awfulness of what has occurred, so we have to dig deep," he said. "Ben and Bonnie were warm, happy, decent, generous patriots who never forgot their heritage."

Their grandson, Mr. Maerov, "was the bright light and love of their hearts," he said.

Ms. Stewart met Mr. Krupinski a month after buying what she said was a wreck of a house on Lily Pond Lane in East Hampton Village. "I interviewed seven contractors in one day, then this handsome guy drove up in a pickup truck, not a Mercedes like these other guys."

She recalled that Mr. Krupinski knew the house already and was fond of it. Could it be restored and made better, she asked him. "Certainly. No problem," he replied. "Certainly. No problem. That's what I called him," Ms. Stewart said.

Despite many change orders and add-ons, the project came in on time and under budget, and she and Mr. and Mrs. Krupinski became friends. "Bonnie was the anchor. She was studious, loyal," Ms. Stewart said.

Ms. Stewart had known Mr. Maerov almost since he was born and had been a mentor to him. He had a brilliant future, she said.

Mr. Crenshaw said that he had met Mr. and Mrs. Krupinski through Mrs. Krupinski's father, Pete Bistrian, for whom he designed a golf course straddling the East Hampton-Amagansett line, and developed a deep friendship with them. "They were truly people who were always focused on what they could do for you. They had the most generous of hearts that we have even known," he said.

Mr. Maerov, he said, was passionate about politics. Other speakers included Lance Maerov, his father, and his sister, Charlotte.

The other speakers were Mrs. Krupinski's brother Bruce Bistrian, Frank Ackley, who is Mr. Krupinski's brother, the couple's nieces Sarah Day Smith and Julia Austin Willman, Tad Roach, the headmaster of St. Andrew's, and Mary Meeker, a family friend.

State Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr. was among the mourners, as was East Hampton Town Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc, Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman, East Hampton Village Mayor Paul F. Rickenbach Jr., members of the East Hampton Town Board, and members of the East Hampton Village Board of Trustees.

Two wooden coffins were at the front of the pews, each covered in arrangements of hydrangeas and roses. The Rev. Donald P. Hammond of the Amagansett Presbyterian Church officiated. The Krupinskis had been married there when they were in college. Other local clergy taking part were Rabbi Joshua Franklin of the Jewish Center of the Hamptons, and the Rev. Ryan Creamer of Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church.

The Rev. Scot A. McCachren of East Hampton Presbyterian and the Very Rev. Denis C. Brunelle joined them in the sanctuary. Ushers came from both the East Hampton and Amagansett Presbyterian Churches. The pallbearers were family and friends of the Krupinskis and a large group of Mr. Maerov's friends from high school and college.

Bruce Bistrian spoke early in the service, recalling Mrs. Krupinski's "great tenacity of purpose." She had an essential role running the family business and was its "financial guru and principal visionary," he said.

Mr. Krupinski's grandchildren, his niece Julia Willman said, were his entire world. Ms. Day Smith said, "Aunt Bonnie always asked the right questions and made people feel welcome."

As an interlude, the recording artist Rick Davies of Supertramp, who has a house in East Hampton and knew the couple, played a slow, then jazzy, piano version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

Mr. Maerov's sister, Charlotte, gently touched her grandmother's coffin as she walked to the dais after Mr. Davies finished playing. Her brother, she said, "became a man with the biggest heart."

"My grandmother used to sit me down and have conversations about life," she said. "My grandfather always used to say, 'Family comes first.' "

"I hope that it does not take another tragedy to bring us together," she said.

Mr. Roach of  St. Andrew's School described Mr. Maerov's grace, maturity, intelligence, and kindness. "Willie had a profound appreciation of the miracles around him" and "expanded the definition of what it means to be a family," he said.

Ms. Meeker, a writer who called herself one of the couple's golf buddies, said, "Bonnie and Ben were the ultimate 'I've got your back' pair."

"Bonnie," she said, "had a sixth-sense instinct of how to get things done."

Lance Maerov, Mr. Maerov's father, was the last of the family and friends to speak at the funeral. "The unimaginable has happened to our sweet William," he said.

"He could connect with 80-year-olds, he could connect with 8-month-olds, and everyone in between. Connecting with people was his gift."

Speaking softly, he said that his son's "innate wisdom made him value everything that money could not buy." That said, Mr. Maerov had an intense lifelong interest in Volkswagens, especially the iconic Beetle.

Mr. Maerov thanked the East Hampton police, fire departments, Coast Guard, and commercial fishermen who responded to the crash and then continued the search for wreckage and bodies. "Seeing you work so tirelessly a hundred yards offshore to find my son has been inspiring."

Following the service, the pallbearers carried Mr. and Mrs. Krupinski's caskets out of the church. They were followed in the aisle by Mr. Maerov's friends, who were each wearing one of his ties in his honor.

A full obituary will appear in a future edition of The Star.

Elaine Marinoff Good, an artist whose floor-to-ceiling figurative oils were often influenced by world events and a writer who recently finished a memoir, died of complications of ovarian cancer at her home in New York City on May 20. Ms. Good, who had a house in Bridgehampton, was 83.

Known for translating major news stories into works of art, she was a firsthand witness to the World Trade Center attack and created a 9/11 series, using thick impasto acrylic paint that she mixed with marble dust. She also painted an environmental series inspired by the Exxon Valdez oil spill. On her website, she described the paintings as reflections of the “humanity that escaped, the dead souls buried in the debris, and the peachy fog, which engulfed us.” 

During her career, Ms. Good had more than 20 one-person shows and was in more than 100 group exhibitions at museums and galleries, including the Eva Cohon Gallery in Chicago and the Galerie Woeller-Paquet and das Bilderhaus in Frankfurt, Germany. She served on the board of directors of the Fine Arts Federation of New York City from 2002 to 2012 and had been an adjunct art professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. 

She was born on Sept. 24, 1934, in Los Angeles to George Marinoff and the former Lena Brown, who had fled Ukraine. She spent her childhood in Los Angeles and graduated from U.C.L.A., where she majored in fine arts. She also studied at the Sorbonne. 

It was at college that she met the man who would become her husband, Dr. Robert Glen Good. She supported him and their three children by working as a fashion illustrator for magazines and as an interior designer while he was in medical school. She also pursued her passion for painting, and had work exhibited at the Laguna Museum of Art, the Downey Museum of Art, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. 

In 1988, after a divorce, she moved to New York City, where she converted a factory in TriBeCa into living space filled with paintings and books. She studied painting at the School of Visual Arts and creative writing at the New School for Social Research. She wrote both fiction and nonfiction, and had spent years working on her memoir as a member of the Ashawagh Hall Writers Workshop and in classes at Stony Brook University’s Southampton campus.  

She is survived by three children: Cynthia Good of Atlanta, Glendon Good of Sedona, Ariz., and Bradley Good of Shanghai. Her sisters, Susan Shrag of Berkeley, Calif., and Deborah Marinoff of San Francisco, survive, as do four grandchildren. 

A memorial service, with a grandson officiating, was held on Tuesday at Edgewood Cemetery in Bridgehampton, and a reception followed in a nearby residence. Ms. Good had a beloved cat, Krissy, and memorial donations have been suggested to the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, P.O. Box 901, Wainscott 11975, or arfhamptons.org. 

A celebration of Sharon B. Rupert’s life was held in her Sag Harbor backyard on May 21, which would have been her 80th birthday. Ms. Rupert, who was known as Sherry, died at her Harrison Street home there on May 12, after a long illness, her sister, Joan E. Rupert, said.  

Hailing from Toledo, Ohio, Ms. Rupert made a life for herself in the New York City theater world, not as an actor but on the management and finance side of the stage. Among the theaters for which she worked were Circle in the Square, the Martinique, the APA-Phoenix Repertory Company, Queens Theater in the Park, Wagner Festival Theater, City Center, and, in East Hampton, Guild Hall.

She was born on May 21, 1938, to J. Frederick Rupert and Carolyn B. Rupert. She graduated from Maumee Valley Country Day School in Ohio in 1956 and from Wheaton College in Norton, Mass., in 1960. Immediately after graduation, she left for New York City, where she would remain for 42 years. In addition to the theaters she managed, she was a vice president and treasurer of the Brooklyn Academy of Music and a lecturer and panelist in her areas of expertise. She also managed summer theaters in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.

Ms. Rupert was a member of the Junior League of New York and on the boards of the League of Professional Theater Women, the Hampton Day School in Bridgehampton, the Maidstone Regional Theatre, and the Technical Assistance Group. 

She was deeply interested in animals as well. Her horse, Lucky, joined her from Ohio and was boarded in East Hampton. She also had golden retrievers, seven in all, from the time she was 8; they were, in order, Queenie, Antigone, Timber, Quincy, Rupert, Clara, and Roman.

Her sister said that Ms. Rupert frequently opened her house to friends and family, especially making their children a big part of her life. She loved giving parties, with Kentucky Derby gatherings an annual celebration. She was also known for her many hats and scrapbooks.

In addition to her sister, who lives in Littleton, Colo., a brother, John Rupert of Goleta, Calif., five nephews, and two great-nieces survive.

Contributions in Ms. Rupert’s honor have been suggested to the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, P.O. Box 901, Wainscott 11975 or the American Kidney Fund, 11921 Rockville Pike, Suite 300, Rockville, Md. 20852.

William R. Stowell of DeLand, Fla., an elementary school teacher for 30 years and East Hampton native, died on March 23 at Florida Hospital DeLand. He was 76 and had been ill for a year.

Mr. Stowell was born in East Hampton on Nov. 3, 1941, the only child of the former Eileen Fisher and Kenneth G. Stowell. He graduated from East Hampton High School in 1958 and earned a certificate in elementary education at the State University at Geneseo. He and his family spent summers in Morris, N.Y., during his childhood and it was there that he met his future wife, the former Joan Stark of Oneonta, N.Y. They settled in Morris after marrying in 1973 and brought up their children there. In addition to teaching, he was an owner of the Morris Auction Gallery.

Mr. Stowell taught for a while in Worcester, N.Y., and then taught at the New Berlin (N.Y.) Central School. His family said he was active in the community and involved with many nonprofit groups, including the Morris Rotary Club, which gave him the Paul Harris Award for his time and energy. In Florida, he assisted a church-sponsored organization, Grace and Grits, which fed the homeless. 

He also worked to preserve historical buildings in Lane’s Cove, Mass., a part of Gloucester, by lobbying local government and actually working on the restoration of a building known as the Fish Shack, where a memorial will be held. He had spent summers in Lane’s Cove, lobstering and fishing. In 2005, the couple took their trawler-style, 54-foot boat to Florida, ultimately settling in DeLand. They made a trip to East Hampton every year to visit friends, usually at New Year’s, their son Richard Stowell of Orlando, Fla., said. 

In addition to his widow and son, Mr. Stowell is survived by two other sons, John Stowell of Upper Marlboro, Md., and William (Chip) Stowell Jr. of Zephyrhills, Fla., and four grandchildren.

Mr. Stowell was cremated. There will be a memorial service on Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Light Walkers Church, 193 County Highway 49, in Morris, with the Rev. Gary Norman officiating. A reception will follow at the Grove of Butternut Valley, which is next to the church. There will be a second memorial on June 9 at 2 p.m. at the Lane’s Cove Fish Shack, followed by a flotilla to spread his ashes off Doughty (Sunset) Point.

The family has suggested donations to the Morris Rotary Club, P.O. Box 414, Morris 13808. Friends can leave condolences online at johnstonfh.com.

Michael Damien Farrell, a longtime bartender at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett and at the Blue Parrot in East Hampton in the 1980s, died of Alzheimer’s disease on May 12 at the Hamptons Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing in Southampton. He was 78 and had been at the center for three weeks at the end of a long illness. 

An East Hampton resident since the late 1960s, Mr. Farrell was born in Garden City on April 9, 1940, one of three children of the former Mary Mullaney and John Anthony Farrell. He grew up there, graduating from Garden City High School and going on to receive a B.A. in liberal arts at Hofstra University.

On Oct. 19, 2005, he and Sharon Losee of Babylon were married on St. John in the Virgin Islands. Ms.  Farrell said her husband was famous for telling jokes and “he mesmerized you with his stories.”

He loved East Hampton and the East End, she said, although he used to spend winters in the Caribbean and traveled widely, to Spain, England, and Ireland, among other countries. 

In addition to his widow, a sister, Ellen Tobin Farrell of East Moriches, and a brother, John Anthony Farrell of upstate New York, survive.

Mr. Farrell was cremated. There will be a celebration of his life from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Ashawagh Hall in Springs on Friday, June 8, to which all will be welcomed.
