For Daniel King

Thu, 08/12/2021 - 11:59

A graveside service for Daniel King will be held on Saturday at 11 a.m. at Green River Cemetery in Springs.

Mr. King, a bayman whose iconic flagship dory is displayed in front of the East Hampton Town Marine Museum, died on April 12, 2020, in North Carolina. He was 70 and had been in declining health.

A Springs resident for many years, he moved to Hampstead, N.C., in 2005. He is survived by two sons, Anthony King of Hampstead and Eric King of East Hampton, and by two granddaughters and a sister, Sandy Vorpahl of Amagansett. His parents, Virgil King and the former Marion Bennett, died before him.

The Sweet Smell of Nostalgia at Sagaponack General

Stepping into the new Sagaponack General Store, which reopened yesterday after being closed since 2020, is a sweet experience, and not just because there’s a soft-serve ice cream station on the left and what promises to be the biggest penny candy selection on the South Fork on your right, but because it’s like seeing an old friend who, after some struggle, made it big. Really, really big.
