Alan Schreiber, Ph.D., of East Quogue died of acute cardiac arrest on March 1. He was 80.

According to his family, he died playing tennis, the sport he loved best, in the company of the person he loved most, Judith Lepore-Schreiber.

The two were married for 53 years. They shared passions for joie de vivre, adventure, friends, tennis, politics, art, and humanitarian pursuits. Together, they traveled to far off places such as Antarctica, the Arctic remote villages in Asia, and untouristed parts of South America.

Schreiber was a master clinical psychologist. Over a career of more than five decades, he helped legions of clients to find their voice and restore them to health, his family said.

He was an accomplished tennis player. He won three gold balls in mixed doubles, a gold medal in the National Senior Olympics, a National Men’s Team doubles tournament and numerous other
titles.

“Alan shall always be remembered as a larger-than-life person, who dared to live life on his own terms, exemplifying a unique blend of self-discipline, individuality, creativity, humor, intelligence and a gift for helping people to find the sweet spots of their lives,” his family said. “We miss him dearly.”

He is survived by his wife and lifelong partner, Judy; his brother Jeff Schreiber and his wife Susan and their two children, Rob and Renee; two sisters-in-law, Linda Ketcham and Ranny Dougherty and their families.

A celebration of life was held on May 10 in New Jersey. Another will be held on Saturday, June 10, from 1-3 p.m. at Westhampton Beach Tennis and Sport, 80 Depot, Road, in Westhampton Beach.

Time To Grow

The community and Southampton Town officials have been optimistic about the Riverside redevelopment plan for years. But residents of Flanders and Riverside are right to be concerned that its potential to transform the area into a vibrant business center has the potential to backfire and create monstrous residential density in a hamlet that needs growth but not necessarily growth in population. A presentation last week in front of the Town Board should go a long way to ease some of those concerns. The consultants formulating the plan for the hamlet center’s growth promised stakeholders that the amount of residential density ... by Editorial Board

Commodity, Not Community

Last week’s Express Sessions event in Southampton Village, part of a five-part series called “Local Matters” — upcoming events will turn to Sag Harbor, East Hampton, Hampton Bays and Westhampton Beach — was largely dominated by a trio of interconnected issues: traffic, most significantly, but also affordable housing and the need for septic solutions. As it turns out, the three are so intertwined that you simply can’t discuss them individually, and no “solution” will slay this three-headed dragon alone. Still, there was a great deal to take away from this first conversation, and it impacts the entire South Fork, because ... by Editorial Board

A Day To Share

The three-day weekend just past is generally known as Columbus Day weekend, but in recent years the holiday has an alternate identity, Indigenous Peoples’ Day. More than four decades after the idea was first suggested in 1977 at a United Nations conference, former President Joe Biden issued a proclamation in 2021, making it a federal holiday alongside Columbus Day. President Donald Trump countered that proclamation with one of his own last week, restoring Columbus Day as the lone federal holiday, bringing it “back from the ashes,” in his estimation. This matters only symbolically, except for the federal holiday designation — ... by Editorial Board
