Robert A. Dalder of Westhampton Beach died on August 24 at Stony Brook University Hospital. He was 71.

He was born on September 21, 1952, in Oceanside, New York.

He was a graduate of Westhampton Beach High School, and proprietor of Out East Classic Boats. He was a voracious reader of Chris Craft Boats as well as race boats and cars. He was always looking for the perfect wave to catch while living the “Endless Summers.”

He was an avid fan of the New York Islanders and New York Mets.

“Happy 72nd birthday in heaven, Bob,” his family said. “You’ll forever be deeply embedded in our hearts.”

He is survived by his brother, Jeffrey Dalder of Westhampton Beach; and two sisters, Debra Ann Dalder of Long Beach and Kathryn Cooper of New Hampshire. He also leaves behind his beloved dog, Paisley.

He was predeceased by his father, Rudolph J. Dalder, mother, Ruth M. Dalder, and brothers Richard and Stephen Dalder, all of Westhampton Beach.

A celebration of life was held at Joe’s American Grill on September 21. Services were held the same day at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church. Interment followed at Westhampton Cemetery.
