William Earl Frame, formerly of Montauk and East Hampton, died at Redwood Memorial Hospital in Fortuna, Calif., on Sept. 27. He was 68 years old.
He is survived by a brother, Bruce Kirwin of Pine Bluff, Ark., a sister, Paula F. Hall of Imperial Beach, Calif., and his longtime partner, Nesya Tibbetts of Fortuna. While on the East End, Mr. Frame worked at Gurney's Inn in Montauk and for Seven Sons Landscaping. He was cremated. No service is planned.
Toby Haynes, an artist who splits his time between East Hampton and Cornwall, England, built the belfry that supported the Wavertree ship bell rung to welcome 40 tall ships into New York Harbor.
The Rev. Thomas James of the East Hampton’s first church “came to the New World in search of religious freedom but found that freedom was not enough.” So says an announcement for a lecture next Thursday provokingly titled “The Convict Pastor: Thomas James and the Puritan Roots of Christian Nationalism.”
“Grounded Conversation: What Remains,” set for Sunday afternoon from 2 to 4:30 at LongHouse Reserve, will focus on green burials, human composting, eco-cremations, and how to sustainably prepare for death.
