He was raised in our family home in Westhampton, NY; Where many loving memories were created and shared amongst his family and friends. JB loved his father as he showed it everyday. He always cherished his mothers memory and was an amazing, caring and loving devoted brother, son, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend.

JB worked for both of his fathers’ businesses. He always took great pride and dedication whether it was moving furniture or tending to the limousines. He always showed immense dedication in all that he did. JB was always known as the dependable one, the one who his father could always count on. It was seen and known by all. JB would always go above and beyond and give nothing but his best work in all that he did. He truly gave a white glove service in both jobs that is not always seen today.

JB was a deep and sensitive guy. He had such a huge heart and an amazing sense of humor. He loved his family and friends with everything he had. He was an incredible Uncle that spent countless moments connecting to his niece and nephew by always making sure he was present in their lives, although it was shorter then expected.

JB cherished his love of nature, animals, and small things in life. He knew how to be present each day to the small things for he understood how truly grand those moments are. JB embraced all life’s precious moments and held them near and dear to his heart.

JB was a rare soul, one that was generous, smart and kind. So full of smiles, laughter, always doing great deeds, and always there to help. JB gave the greatest hugs, so full of love and comfort. Nothing nor no one could ever replace the amazing soul that he was. Jb was loved by everyone and will truly be missed. He had such a fun spirit and his infectious smile charmed everyone who met him.

JB loved to play all sports, as well as, watch sports especially his favorite football team the Los Angeles Rams. He cherished every moment in life. As well as always making sure his family 
had everything they needed. His kindness, generosity, strength, determined nature, thoughtfulness and being an all around great guy are just some of the ways he showed what an amazing person he was.

JB’s strength and courage will always be remembered, as well as his will to fight till the very end. Although taken too soon, he is now at peace and no longer in pain. His spirit lives on, forever more, in our hearts and minds.

Frozen in Time

On old maps, one circa 1700, the geography of Sagaponack is differently portrayed. The bodies of water are the most significant features on the map. Poxabogue Pond, Sagg Swamp, now owned and with trails maintained by The Nature Conservancy, is dominant, etched large, drawn like an expanding spider web across the yellowed page. Sagaponack Pond, too, looks impressively large, its northern boundary marked “Forest” and, at its edge, by 1750, the dam for the adjacent mill.

Reconsider Decision

I am so disappointed and deeply saddened by the Regal Cinema corporate decision to discontinue broadcasting the Metropolitan Opera Live in HD series at its Hampton Bays theater. For many years, many locals were able to access and experience world-class opera close to home, and now, for some reason, the decision has been made to no longer broadcast these award-winning performances. I hope they will reconsider. Deborah DeLuccy Westhampton Beach by Staff Writer
