Dennis P. Young of Hampton Bays died at home on December 8. He was 60. Diagnosed with stage three lung cancer in March, it advanced to stage four and metastasized to his stomach and lymph nodes.
Born November 2, 1955, in Canada, he was the son of Leland and Mary Lenhart Young. His father was in the Air Force and so he had many residences while growing up. He married Barbara Weber on September 26, 1993.
He worked at King Kullen in Bridgehampton for 33 years.
Mr. Young was a avid bowler—he twice bowled 300—and golfer. Every Sunday morning he was up at 4:30 to be on the course; Indian Island was among his favorites. He fished, but most of all he loved to travel all around the United States with his wife.
A Mets fan, he got to see the team earn a place in the World Series. An Islander and Jets fan, the last game he saw was when the Jets beat the Giants.
He is survived by three children, Charity Miller of Washington State, Faith Miller of Hampton Bays and John Miller of Hampton Bays; four grandchildren, Angeline, Nicole, Kelsey and Geneva; and a sister, Suzanne Smith of Hampton Bays.
A funeral service took place on December 11 at the Church of St. Rosalie in Hampton Bays.
Memorial donations may be made to the family to help with medical expenses.
