Norman George Price, a lifelong resident of Southampton, died at his home on January 16. He was 91.

He was born on May 7, 1930.

A founding member, he loved his time at Bullhead Yacht Club, whether he was boating or working around the club. In his later years, you could set your watch by his daily afternoon visits to Bullhead. He was a member of the Southampton Fire Department, specifically Agawam Hose Company, for 50-plus years. He was also a member of Saint John’s Episcopal Church in Southampton, where he was a member of the vestry for a time.

He was employed for many years in the propane fuel business. Upon retirement, he and his wife Una Jean loved to travel, including several cruises and yearly trips to coastal Maine. Their all-time favorite trip was their cruise in Alaska. He was an avid reader of both non-fiction and westerns.

He is survived by his son Edward and daughter-in-law Cheryl; granddaughter Lindsey Price Friel and husband Corey; grandson Travis; nieces and nephews Jane Halsey, Mary Gwen Tyda, Susan Swanson, Robert Price, David Price and Karen Price; his sister-in-law Beverly Price. He was predeceased by his parents Winifred and George; siblings Gwen (Price) Halsey, Robert, Harry; his niece Gail (Halsey) Levine; and his beloved wife of 46 years, Una Jean.

A memorial visitation and prayer service will be held, Friday, January 21, from 4-7 p.m. at the Brockett Funeral Home in Southampton.

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
