Alan Schreiber
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.
