Sherry L. Corr of Southampton died on January 12. She was 66.

She was owner of Sherry and Joe Corr’s Best Boat Works since 1985. Ms. Corr and her husband Joe were well respected in the community and were described as a couple who would “give their shirts off their backs” to their loved ones.

Ms. Corr was an animal enthusiast and had many of her own over the years from horses, to dogs and cats, to exotic birds. She loved a good joke, even when it was on her. Her laugh was infectious, and she was always a fun-loving, beautiful energetic woman, the life of the party, her family said. Ms. Corr spent most of her summers with her great-grandchildren and she will forever be revered and missed greatly, her family said.

She is survived by her daughter, Tracy Phillips; and her son Joseph Corr Jr.; along with her grandchildren and great-children.

I did note, happily, that Mayor Ralph Urban hedged his bets a number of times in the article as to whether or not paid parking for Main Street spots, or spots in the lot behind the shops on the south side of Main Street, was really a solution. Mr. Mayor, it’s not. (The silliest idea floated was to consider the East Hampton plan, which is ... by Staff Writer

To solve a problem, the critical step is defining it. What are the root causes of our immigration crisis? 1) Lack of economic opportunity, especially in Central and South America and Mexico, but all over the world, in reality. 2) Political unrest fueled by authoritarian regimes, or by religious fanaticism, or any combination thereof. 3) Destruction caused by repeated and worsening climate issues: floods, typhoons, hurricanes, fires, drought. 4) Global connection via internet to all corners of the world.
