Jacob Nelson Foran “was a man of many passions,” wrote Richard Swift, his partner of 35 years. “His love and knowledge of the arts, especially opera, classical music, and ballet, were all a constant source of joy and pleasure for him throughout his life” and he “gladly shared that knowledge with anybody who cared to learn.”

Known as Nelson, Mr. Foran died at home in East Hampton on Friday with Mr. Swift by his side. He was 85 and had been diagnosed with multiple myeloma in January. 

Born in Richmond Hill, Queens, on Aug. 19, 1931, to Nelson Foran and the former Nellie Daffer, he entered the Navy after high school. When he returned home, he moved to New York City and started a successful career in the architectural furniture industry.

A weekend visitor to the South Fork starting in the 1960s, Mr. Foran became a full-time resident almost 35 years ago, living first in Sag Harbor and then in East Hampton. On the South Fork, he began a new career in advertising sales, eventually retiring at the age of 70.

“He always loved the beauty and uniqueness of the different villages and hamlets that comprise this place he called home,” Mr. Swift wrote.

“He was a wonderful cook and host, loved books, museums, and traveling, especially to his beloved Italy, France, and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico,” his partner said.

He was also “a great storyteller, and all his stories had a beginning, middle, and end that people would listen to with rapt attention and delight. He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word with a courtly manner, superb wit, and irresistible charm. Beloved by many, a dear friend said of him, ‘his presence was golden, he had an aura about him that was contagious.’ ” Mr. Foran, “left the world a more joyful place for his having visited,” Mr. Swift said.

In addition to Mr. Swift, he is survived by two sisters, Carol Apkarian of Prescott, Ariz., and Kate Leder of Newport Beach, Calif., an aunt who lives in Patchogue, three cousins, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Jean Edmond Lanier of Wainscott, who was instrumental in founding L’Arche Long Island, a Riverhead branch of an international organization that creates communities for people with intellectual disabilities and those who care for them, died on July 19 in New York City, surrounded by his family. He was 71 and had been ill for only a short time.

Mr. Lanier was deeply involved with L’Arche from the time he met its founder. “It changed his life,” his wife, Judith Lanier, said. The organization was begun in France by Jean Vanier, a Catholic philosopher and theologian, and it now has established at least 100 community households around the world as well as workplaces and activity centers.

  Mr. Lanier’s family said he was a modest man and, although he had a successful career in business, what mattered most to him, besides his family, was the L’Arche credo: It is “the responsibility of human beings to lift one another up in mutual relationships of love.” He believed in celebrating the unique value and dignity of every person, his family said.

  Jean Edmond Lanier was born in Paris on Feb. 2, 1946, one of four children of the former France Rist and Edmond Lanier. He was brought up in Paris and graduated with a degree in economics from L’Ecole Centrale Paris, going on to receive a master’s degree in operations research at Cornell University.

In 1967, while traveling to the States, he met Judith Webb of North Carolina, who was returning home from Paris after studying French there. They met on the France, an ocean liner named by his father, who was the president of the French line and a director of Air France. They married in June 1970 and went on to divide their time between Paris and Wainscott, bringing up their children primarily in Paris.

In addition to his wife, three children survive: Caroline Bernhardt-Lanier of Bethesda Md., Nellie-France Harasimowicz of Rye, N.Y., and Patrick Lanier of Chevy Chase, Md. Ten grandchildren also survive, as do two brothers, Henri Lanier and Francois Lanier, both of Paris. A sister, Isabelle Essig of Versailles, France, died in 2016.

A requiem Mass was celebrated at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Hampton on Monday. The family has suggested memorial donations in Mr. Lanier’s name to L’Arche Long Island, P.O. Box 354, Riverhead 11901-8052. There will also be a service in France, in Trosly-Breuil, an hour north of Paris, at which Jean Vanier will give the eulogy.

Marieanne Labbat, who with her husband, Eugene Labbat, owned and ran the East Hampton restaurant Chez Labbat for many years, died at home here on June 20, surrounded by her family and a caregiver, Paulett Waite. She was 97 and had been in robust health until the last few years.

Her daughter Michelle Shulman of Amagansett said that she had recently reminded her mother that she was born the year when women in this country  got the right to vote. Her mother loved to cook, garden, and knit for her children and grandchildren and taught her caregivers to knit during the time she was taken care of at home. Ms. Shulman said her mother made the most delicious salad dressing that, while she claimed it was simple, no one in the family was able to duplicate. As for Mrs. Labbat’s green thumb, her family would joke that if she planted a pencil it would grow.

Marieanne Labbat was born on a farm in Brittany, France, on April 27, 1920, one of six children of the former Marie Ruper and Jean Marie LeCorre. At the age of 16 she went to Paris to be an au pair. Two years later, she was welcomed to New York City by two of her sisters. Her sister Isabelle had sponsored her, a requirement of immigration at the time.

Through word of mouth, her daughter said, her mother, not speaking any English, went to Sharon, Conn., as an au pair with a family who did not know French. On Sept. 21, when the parents had gone out for dinner, the 1938 Hurricane struck. “She did her best to comfort the boys,” her daughter said.

In May 1946 she married Eugene R. Labbat, who had come to this country with his family from the city of Brest in Brittany when he was 8. They had met at a French restaurant called LeMoal, which later seemed to have set their course in life. The couple lived for a while in New York, where Mr. Labbat worked at the Hotel Pierre, and in Maryland, and in Douglaston and Huntington before moving to East Hampton. They leased a Main Street restaurant called the Blue Goose in 1952. Following a few successful years, their daughter said, they bought it and renamed it Chez Labbat. Mrs. Labbat worked and sometimes cooked at the restaurant, which was a French-style bistro that served escargots and frog’s legs and was decorated with travel posters of France. A French restaurant here was pioneering for its time and became a hit. Friends helped the couple rebuild the restaurant after a devastating fire in 1962.

In addition to her daughter Michelle Shulman, Mrs. Labbat is survived by another daughter, Jeannette Schwenk of Atlanta, a son, Eugene J. Labbat of East Hampton, 5 grandchildren, and 13 great-grandchildren.

She was cremated and her ashes will be buried next to her husband’s at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church Cemetery in East Hampton. The family will hold a memorial in the fall. They have suggested donations to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, 1275 York Avenue, New York 10065, the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, P.O. Box 901, Wainscott 11975, or to East End Hospice, P.O. Box 1048, Westhampton Beach 11978, saying they wanted to extend “special thanks to the men and women of hospice for their very caring and loving care.”

Meredith Arnoux of Wainscott died on Saturday. She was 69. The family received visitors last night at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton. A funeral will take place today at 10:30 a.m. at Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Bridgehampton. The family has suggested memorial donations in Ms. Arnoux’s name to Fighting Chance, P.O. Box 358, Sag Harbor 11963. An obituary will appear in a future issue.

Gloria Appel, an Upper West Sider whose family had been year-round weekenders on the South Fork for over 40 years, died of ovarian cancer at the age of 74 on July 1. She was first diagnosed seven years ago.

Ms. Appel worked for several years as a teacher in Manhattan after receiving an M.A. in English from Hunter College, and then embarked upon a successful career as an adwoman. She retired about eight years ago as executive vice president of Grey Advertising, a global agency with headquarters in the city.

Born in New York City on Aug. 7, 1942, to Sarah Rhodes and Max Gold, she grew up in New Rochelle, N.Y., and attended schools there. She graduated from City College of New York before going on to Hunter.

She married Lawrence Appel on Nov. 25, 1964. The couple had two daughters: Alison Loehnis, who lives in London, and Rebecca Jelen of Berkeley, Calif. The family vacationed in Wainscott for a time before buying a house in East Hampton.

Ms. Jelen said her mother was known for her elegant sense of style and keen eye for fashion and interior design. She was an enthusiastic gardener and a terrific cook who hosted “fabulous dinner parties,” her daughter said. She loved the ballet, books, museums, and travel, and had “a truly magnetic personality and a great sense of humor.”

Besides her daughters, Ms. Appel is survived by her husband and four grandchildren. A funeral service was held at Shaarey Pardes Accabonac Grove Cemetery in Springs on July 3, Rabbi David Gelfand officiating.

Edgar C. Grimes Jr., who had cancer, died on June 20 at the Good Samaritan Lutheran Health Care Center in Delmar, N.Y. He was 87 and had been ill for about six months.

A Korean War veteran, he had served as a sergeant in an Army hospital pharmacy in Tokyo from 1949 to 1952. After settling in Spring Valley, N.Y., he worked for 40 years as a supervisor at Lederle Laboratories in Pearl River, N.Y., which made vitamins, steroids, and antibiotics.

Mr. Grimes’s family said he “was a talented and meticulous carpenter” who spent weekends repairing furniture and working on houses in the Rockland County area. He enjoyed gardening and was at odds with the upstate deer until he decided “to let the deer win and installed a salt lick in his backyard,” they said. The family house was known to have the best sledding hill in the neighborhood.

He was born in Montauk on Aug. 14, 1929, one of six children of Edgar C. Grimes and the former Cecilia Pitts. He grew up and went to school there and graduated from East Hampton High School with the class of 1948. He and his future wife, Jacqueline Murray, met in Montauk when she and two friends were there for a visit. It was a case of three brides for three brothers: Ms. Murray’s friend Susan Dean married one of Mr. Grimes’s brothers and Sue Dean’s younger sister married another. He and his wife-to-be became engaged before he was deployed. They married on Dec. 27, 1952, after he had returned from the Korean War. Mrs. Grimes survives.

In addition to his wife, Mr. Grimes is survived by his brothers, Vincent Grimes of Montauk, Daniel Grimes of East Hampton, William Grimes of Pennsylvania, and Charles Grimes of North Carolina. His only sister, Marie Short of Long Island, and his son Timothy Grimes died before him. A daughter, Linda Grimes-Picarazzi of Selkirk, N.Y., a son, Mark Grimes of Lexington, Ky., many nieces and nephews, and three grandchildren also survive.

The family received visitors on June 26 at Higgins Funeral Home in New City, N.Y. A funeral Mass was said later that morning at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Spring Valley. Mr. Grimes was buried at the Frederick Loescher Veterans Memorial Cemetery there.

The family has suggested memorial donations to United Hospice of Rockland, 11 Stokum Lane, New City 10956 or Community Hospice of Albany, 445 New Karner Road, Albany 12205.

John J. Lehmann, who grew up in Sag Harbor and served in the Navy, died at home in Cuba, N.Y., on June 30. He was 27 and took his own life, his family said.

A barbecue in celebration of his life will take place on July 22 at 1 p.m. at Maidstone Park Beach in Springs.

Mr. Lehmann enlisted in the Navy in March 2010, serving until November 2011. He received a National Defense Service Medal, a Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and a Navy Pistol Marksmanship Ribbon.

His family said he particularly enjoyed the outdoors, everything from camping to hiking to landscaping. “He was passionate about helping others and would never take no as an answer,” his mother, Dawn Moyer, said. He also loved music — a wide range of genres, from the Insane Clown Posse to the doo-wop of the 1950s.

He married Janeen Dunn on April 12, 2016, and the couple had two sons, Sabastian, 4, and Samuel, 2. He loved them immensely, his mother said. The family moved to Cuba, in western New York, in December. He worked there as a landscaper.

Mr. Lehmann was born in Wellsville, N.Y., on July 21, 1989. Ten years later, his parents, Wallace F. Moyer and the former Dawn Coleman, moved the family to Sag Harbor.

He graduated from Pierson High School in 2007 and went on to Johnson and Wales University in Rhode Island, studying criminal justice. He later returned home and continued his studies at Suffolk Community College in Riverhead.

His wife and children survive him, as do his parents, who still live in Sag Harbor. He leaves a younger brother, Benjamin Lehmann of Sag Harbor, three sisters, Rachel Moyer of Sag Harbor and Michelle Fleming and Sarah Nunn, both of Spartanburg, S.C., and a large extended family.

Mr. Lehmann was cremated. A funeral was held in Cuba on July 3.
