Henrik Krogius, an Emmy Award-winning journalist, writer, and producer for television news who was instrumental in preserving the Poxabogue area of Sagaponack, died at home in Brooklyn Heights on Oct. 4. He was 87 and had prostate cancer, his family said.

Having owned a home in Sagaponack since 1965, he became interested in the area that would later become the Long Pond Greenbelt when, in 1973, Fred C. Topping died, leaving 28 acres on the shores of Poxabogue Pond. A developer planned to build 16 houses there, but with the help of Barbara (Babby) French, Mr. Krogius and his wife, Elaine Taylor Krogius, lobbied town and county legislators, resulting in the county’s condemnation of the land and the creation of Poxabogue County Park.

The Long Pond Greenbelt, consisting of ponds, woods, and wetlands from Sag Harbor to Bridgehampton and Sagaponack, was formed. Mr. Krogius and his wife were honored as the first “champions of the greenbelt” by the Friends of the Long Pond Greenbelt in 2008. The two also served on the board of the Group for the East End for several years. 

Mr. Krogius had a 27-year career as a writer and producer for NBC News and its affiliate in the city. In 1977, he won an Emmy Award for best local news program for his work on the 11 o’clock news, for which he was the producer for about eight years. He worked with such broadcast luminaries as Mike Wallace, Frank McGee, Edwin Newman, Chet Huntley, David Brinkley, Tom Brokaw, and Chuck Scarborough, his family said.

He was the editor of The Brooklyn Heights Press & Cobble Hill News for 22 years, during which time he was actively involved in the coverage of the creation of the Brooklyn Bridge Park along the East River. With Joanne Witty he wrote “Brooklyn Bridge Park: A Dying Waterfront Transformed,” a book that came out in September. He retired from The Press in 2013. 

A native of Finland, Mr. Krogius was born on March 26, 1929, in Tampere to Helge Krogius and the former Valborg Antell. He grew up in Finland and New York, and went on to study architecture at Harvard College, graduating in 1951. He served as a lieutenant in the Air Force from 1951 to 1953 and then studied at the Columbia School of Journalism, graduating a year later. He received a Pulitzer Traveling Scholarship from Columbia and reported as a freelancer from Europe, Asia, and Africa from 1954 to 1956. 

He was an award-winning photographer and the author of the 2003 book “New York, You’re a Wonderful Town! Fifty-Plus Years of Chronicling Goth­am,” a graphic portrayal of the city through his photographs. 

His wife of 51 years survives him, as do his sons, Sven Krogius of Brooklyn and Tor Krogius of Northampton, Mass. A brother, Tristan Krogius of Laguna Beach, Calif., and two grandchildren also survive. 

A service will be held at Grace Church in Brooklyn Heights on Nov. 5 at 11 a.m., the Rev. Anne Richards officiating.

Visiting hours for Betsy White of Montauk, who died on Monday at Southampton Hospital, will be held tomorrow from 1 to 5 and from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton. 

A funeral service is planned on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the Montauk Community Church, with burial to follow at Cedar Lawn Cemetery in East Hampton. Mrs. White was 76. An obituary will appear in a future issue.

Terry Jane Hoyt, a volunteer emergency medical technician for many years and a former ambulance captain for the Bridgehampton Fire Department, died of cancer at home on Saturday. She was 64.

Ms. Hoyt has been credited with leading several advancements in emergency care for the department, including establishing and overseeing its E.M.S. first responder vehicle program that preceded its paid first responder program, lobbying for the purchase of mechanical CPR devices, and maintaining and handling training for the department’s firefighter rehabilitation vehicle. 

Her family said she was also an integral part of a volunteer response system throughout East Hampton Town that, before fire departments started hiring paid providers, ensured that calls were answered.

Ms. Hoyt served as an assistant captain from 2011 to 2012 and as a captain from 2012 through 2014. In 2014 she was named the department’s captain of the year. She was also recognized by Suffolk County when she achieved 20 years of service, and was nominated for the 2014 Southampton Town Nancy Makson E.M.S. of Excellence Award.

“Terry Hoyt was a very fine and conscientious E.M.T.,” Bridgehampton Fire Chief Jeff White said. “Every call was an important call, and as captain everything was in order all the time. She will be missed.”

She was born on Sept. 3, 1952, in Ossining, N.Y., to Edward and Jane Hoyt. She grew up there and graduated from Ossining High School in 1969, going on to work for Union Carbide and Phelps Memorial Hospital. When her father became ill in 1979, Ms. Hoyt returned home to take care of her two younger brothers, raising them until they were finished with high school.

She moved to Southampton in 1989 and later to Bridgehampton. Her first position on the South Fork was with the Allan M. Schneider real estate firm, but in 1990 she got a job at Southampton Hospital, where over the course of 25 years she worked in various capacities, her favorite being registrar in the emergency room, a position she held for 17 years.

Ms. Hoyt joined the Bridgehampton Fire Department in 1993, following in the footsteps of her father, who had been a member of Ossining’s volunteer rescue squad.

“She was just that type of person, helping others before herself,” Philip Cammann, her husband of 19 years, said.

Ms. Hoyt and Mr. Cammann were married on Christmas Eve in 1997 in a chapel in Vermont that had no heat but was lit with Christmas lights. They often worked side by side in the ambulance. “We did good patient care together,” Mr. Cammann said.

When they were not busy responding to calls for help or facilitating training for other first responders, the couple enjoyed traveling to Europe and the Caribbean.

In addition to her husband, Ms. Hoyt is survived by two brothers, Ed Hoyt of Bridgehampton and Jim Hoyt of Las Vegas. Her parents and a sister, Donna, predeceased her.

A wake will be held for Ms. Hoyt at the Brockett Funeral Home in Southampton today from 6 to 9 p.m. Her burial will be private. Her family has suggested memorial donations to the Firemen’s Home of the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York at 125 Harry Howard Avenue, Hudson, N.Y. 12534.

Angelina Anna Ross of Sagaponack died on Sept. 30 at the Kanas Center for Hospice Care in Westhampton Beach. She was 73 and had had pancreatic cancer for four years. Donna Ross Levy said her mother had responded well to chemotherapy and survived longer than most who have that illness. “She was a fighter, very strong willed,” Ms. Levy said.

Ms. Ross was well known on the South Fork in part because she had been a driver for the McCoy School Bus Company in Bridgehampton for 23 years and in part because she was an accomplished golfer and bowler. She played golf at the Bridgehampton and Shelter Island  courses and was part of an East Hampton Bowl team, “Just Us,” that traveled to tournaments in different parts of the country, and in 2010 won the national Women’s Bowling Tournament in Buffalo. 

Known as Angela, she was born in Southampton on May 21, 1943, one of the four children of Anthony W. Mazzeo Jr. and the former Angelina DeCristofaro. Her family lived on Bishop’s Lane in Southampton and then moved to Sag Harbor.

She was married on July 21, 1963, to Frank Peter Ross, who built their house on Wainscott Harbor Road in Sagaponack. They had two children, Ms. Levy, who now lives in Coram, and Richard Ross, who died before her. The couple later divorced, and Mr. Ross died on Aug. 26 this year.

Ms. Ross graduated from Pierson High School with the class of 1960. She attended the Wilfred Beauty Academy in Jamaica, Queens, going to work at the Robert Abott Salon in Southampton and then Debonair in Bridgehampton. She was a stay-at-home mother for a time, before she became a McCoy school bus driver and then an office assistant for the company.

Ms. Levy said her mother enjoyed going to Mohegan Sun in Connecticut with her sister, Joanne Kelly, and traveling to Turks and Caicos, to Disney World, as well as taking Caribbean cruises. She often visited family members in Massachusetts, and enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren.

According to her daughter, Ms. Ross was well organized and about three years ago, when  cancer treatment had helped her feel relatively strong, went over the details of her life to help prepare her obituary. “She had a wonderful sense of humor,” Ms. Levy said, “and was kind and generous, always putting others before herself.”

In addition to her daughter and grandchildren, Ms. Ross is survived by her siblings: Anthony Mazzeo III of Virginia, Minn., Vincent Mazzeo of Sag Harbor, and Ms. Kelly, who lives in Sagaponack. She also is survived by eight nieces and nephews.

A funeral Mass was celebrated on Oct. 4 at the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Bridgehampton, and she was buried at Edgewood Cemetery in that hamlet. Donations in her memory have been suggested to East End Hospice, P.O. Box 1048, Westhampton Beach 11978.

Jill Beth Sleed of Kingston, N.Y., a daughter of Judy Sleed of East Hampton and the late Joel Sleed, died at the Kingston Hospital on Friday, surrounded by family members and her best friend. She was 56 years old and had lung cancer.

Ms. Sleed, who visited her mother often in East Hampton over the years, was an active member of the Kingston community who attended support programs and services for the mentally challenged.

She was born in New York City on Oct. 3, 1959, and grew up in Baldwin, graduating from Baldwin High School in 1977.

Ms. Sleed was known for her creativity, often writing music, lyrics, and poetry, or drawing, painting, sewing, and making pottery.

Her family said she was always kind to those she met and often made new friends and acted as a role model. “Her influence will forever remain in the lives of all who knew her,” her family wrote.

In addition to her mother, she is survived by her sister, Jodie Sleed of Woodstock, N.Y., and her brother, Jeff Sleed of East Hampton and Kingston. Services for Ms. Sleed will be held today from 2 to 4:30 p.m. at Keyser Funeral Home in Kingston, with a memorial service at 3 p.m. to be officiated by Rabbi Johnathan Kligler of the Woodstock Jewish Congregation and the Rev. Peter Blum, an independent interfaith minister.

Ms. Sleed’s family has suggested memorial donations to the Mental Health Association in Ulster County, P.O. Box 2304, Kingston, N.Y. 12401, or mhainulster.com. Condolences may be left for the family at keyserfuneralservice.com.

Dale Booher, an architect and garden designer who was among the founders of the Hayground School in Bridgehampton, died on Sept. 15 at home on Shelter Island. The cause was Lewy body disease, a form of dementia, his wife, Lisa Stamm, said.

Mr. Booher worked with the architect I.M. Pei for seven years and with Philip Cortelyou Johnson for a year before joining Harry Bates to found Bates and Booher Architects, which set up an office in Water Mill and designed many East Hampton houses. He helped the Hayground School as a designer and created a grove there in memory of Jeff Saloway, a founder. He lived in East Hampton from 1970 to ’78.

He was born on Aug. 10, 1931, in Wichita Falls, Tex., where his father, William Finice Booher, the assistant chief of police, once chased the infamous Depression-era criminals Bonnie and Clyde. His mother was the former Jewel Bates.

After graduating from high school in Wichita Falls, Mr. Booher attended the United States Navy’s officer candidate school, and  served as a bombardier navigator during the Panama crisis. Leaving the service, he settled in New York City, where he earned a master’s degree in architecture from Columbia University.

He and Ms. Stamm were married in 1980 and in 1991 formed the Homestead Garden and Design Collaborative. Mr. Booher focused on the landscape and structures of the gardens they designed across the South Fork, including one for the well-known interior designer Charlotte Moss in East Hampton.

The family said Mr. Booher was inspired by frequent trips abroad. He would sketch ideas on visits to Mexico, Italy, England, and the Andes mountains in South America, among other places. Upon his return, the sketches inspired such things as a table based on a handmade wall in the Mexican countryside and a Thai-influenced hut overlooking a pond on his Shelter Island property. He continued drawing until his diagnosis this year with the degenerative illness that took his life.

Mr. Booher and Ms. Stamm and their daughter, Vanessa, first lived in an 18th- century house on Shelter Island, where they created a series of garden rooms connected by grass paths, which Mr. Booher mowed himself. In 2003, the family moved to another house on Shelter Island. There, Mr. Booher was often surrounded by his daughter’s friends and his three grandchildren. He enjoyed sitting with his wife on their porch, keeping track of ospreys and watching sailboats in Peconic Bay.

A daughter from Mr. Booher’s first marriage, which ended in divorce, died before him. In addition to Ms. Stamm, his daughter, and his grandchildren, a brother, Jim Booher of Waxahatchie, Tex., survives.

A memorial gathering was held on Saturday at Mr. Booher and Ms. Stamm’s house. His family has suggested memorial contributions to the Perlman Music Program, 19 West 69th Street, Suite 1101, New York 10023 or perlmanmusicprogram.org.

Kent Edward Metz Sr., who grew up in Wainscott and graduated from East Hampton High School in 1968, died on Sept. 17 in a truck accident in Florida. He was 65 years old.

Mr. Metz was a star high school athlete, excelling at football and wrestling. He was very proud to have been inducted into the East Hampton High School Athletic Hall of Fame in 2013 with his 1966 football championship teammates, said his sister Mary Grady.

According to Ms. Grady, Mr. Metz could operate any type of machinery and teach others how to do it too. He worked for a number of South Fork companies, among them Dragotta Construction, South Fork Asphalt, Mezynieski Excavating, Whalen Construction, and Butch Payne Landscaping.

Born in New Rochelle, N.Y., on Dec. 11, 1950, Mr. Metz was one of four children of Henry Edward Metz and the former Ruth Andrina Walker, who survives. He was married twice; both his wives, Vella Metz and Ruth Lavinia Metz, predeceased him, as did his father.

Mr. Metz had retired and moved to South Daytona, Fla., Ms. Grady said, but returned here regularly to see family. On one of those visits, she said, Keith Grimes found work for him to do in Wainscott, “keeping an eye on the guys.”

He enjoyed music, especially country, blues, and James Brown. His sister said he was upbeat, always trying, like their father, to make others happy and “turn a negative into a positive.” He was happiest around his family, she said, especially his mother, who lives in Wainscott, as does another sister, Robin Metz.

Ms. Grady lives in Southampton. Mr. Metz is also survived by a brother, Roger Metz of Daytona Beach, Fla. His children are Kent Metz Jr. of Brooklyn, Justin Metz Sr. of Loganville, Ga., Shantal Metz of Spartanburg, S.C., and Corey Metz-Campsey of Sag Harbor. His companion, Deborah Moreland, also survives, as do 12 grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

There will be a wake at the First Baptist Church of Southampton tomorrow from 7 to 9 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon, followed by a memorial service at which the Rev. Henry Faison Jr. will officiate. Mr. Metz was cremated in Florida; his mother will receive his ashes.

Mary H. Mulholland had been in failing health for a while, but according to her daughter Brigitte M. Lenihan of Springs, that didn’t keep her from enjoying her 89th birthday party, which 50 people attended. She died at home in Springs almost three weeks later, on Sept. 26. Born on Sept. 6, 1927, in Brooklyn and brought up there, Ms. Mulholland was one of the three children of Edward Hellenbeck and the former Mary Moore. Her brother and sister died before her. She attended Catholic schools and then graduated from Queens College with a degree in nursing.

She worked in obstetrics and gynecology at the start of her nursing career and later in geriatric care at what was then the Todd Nursing Home in Southampton.

She was married to Thomas F. Lenihan, with whom she had four children. The couple, who eventually divorced, built a house in 1962 in what was then called Whispering Woods, now Clearwater Beach. The family moved there year round in 1971. Mr. Lenihan died in 1983.

She and Francis J. Mulholland of Amagansett were married when he was 82 and she was 65. She used his family name and they remained together until his death in 2005, just before his 95th birthday.

Ms. Mulholland, who enjoyed painting, had recently been using acrylics. She exhibited her landscapes, birds, and flowers, which won several awards locally and sold them at Guild Hall’s Clothesline Art Sale.

Her mother also enjoyed gardening, her house, and her family, Ms. Lenihan said. She loved the beach and continued swimming in the ocean until she was 78. She also wrote poetry, and The Star published many of her poems in the 1970s and 1980s.

In addition to Ms. Lenihan, two other children, Brian T. Lenihan of Willow Springs, Mo., and Mary Colleen Lenihan of Speonk, survive. Her firstborn child, Mary Ellen Lenihan, had died tragically. Four grandchildren also survive, as do many extended family members.

The family received friends at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton last Thursday, and a Mass of Christian burial was said at Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church in East Hampton on Sept. 30.

Memorial donations have been suggested to the Springs Fire Department Ambulance Association, 179 Fort Pond Boulevard, East Hampton 11937, or East End Hospice, P.O. Box 1048, Westhampton Beach 11978-7048.

Suzanne Ellen Goell, a pianist who had written art and music reviews for The West End Word, a community newspaper in St. Louis, eventually becoming its managing editor and publisher, died at home on Hand’s Creek Road in East Hampton on Sept. 12 of heart failure. She was 85 and had been ill for two and a half weeks.

Ms. Goell was a child prodigy whose parents took her out of school when she was 9 or 10 so she could concentrate on the piano. Growing up in Los Angeles, she performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic when she was 14 and later played for the Arthur Prince School of Dance there.

In 1959, Ms. Goell founded the New Music Circle in St. Louis, a group that performs mainly contemporary, avant-garde music. A decade later she was one of the founders of the New City School, for children from age 3 through sixth grade. Its mission was to promote joyful learning, confidence, commitment to diversity, and creative problem solving.

Born on Dec. 30, 1930, in Los Angeles, Ms. Goell was the only child of Paul Johnson and the former Ivy Kohlmeier, who adopted her as an infant. She moved to St. Louis after marrying Robert Steven Goell in 1957. The Goells built their East Hampton house in 1968, using it for summers and vacations. He died in 2008.

Her son Jeremy Goell said she was well educated and read voraciously although she had not had extensive formal schooling. She moved here full time in 1994 and became a volunteer in the Ladies Village Improvement Society’s Bargain Books shop. Nancy Goell of East Hampton said her sister-in-law was a perfectionist who played the piano only for the family after moving here.

In addition to her son Jeremy Goell, who lives in Brooklyn, two other sons, Geoffrey Goell of Brooklyn and Jonathan Goell of Oakland, Calif., survive. Two grandsons survive as well. A reception was held at her East Hampton house on Sept. 16.

Klaus Kertess, a curator, writer, and art dealer whose enduring influence in the art world began 50 years ago when he opened the Bykert Gallery on East 81st Street, died of a heart attack at home in Manhattan on Saturday. He was 76.

Mr. Kertess, who also shared a house in East Hampton with his partner of more than 40 years, the painter Billy Sullivan, who survives him, was a curator at the Parrish Art Museum from 1983 to 1989, after which he served for six years as adjunct curator of drawings at the Whitney Museum of American Art, where he organized the 1995 Biennial exhibition. He was in demand throughout his career as a guest curator.

A prolific writer, he wrote or co-wrote more than 30 books about art and artists, including monographs on Willem de Kooning, Matthew Barney, Brice Marden, Jane Freilicher, Alfonso Ossorio, Joan Mitchell, Joel Shapiro, and John Chamberlain. He also wrote fiction, including “South Brooklyn Casket Company,” a volume of short stories.

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of the Bykert Gallery, which he opened in 1966 with the backing of Jeff Byers, who had been a classmate at Yale. During its nine-year run, it launched the careers of a new generation of artists who came of age in the 1960s, among them Chuck Close, Mr. Marden, Dorothea Rockburne, and David Novros. He left the gallery when it began to feel too much like a business.

“That was traumatic,” he told Patsy Southgate in a 1995 interview for The Star. “I felt like I was divorcing 18 artists. The gallery eventually folded.”

Organizing a Whitney Biennial is always a risk. It is such a high-profile exhibition that the daggers usually emerge as soon as the participating artists are announced, if not before. The 1993 show, which was tilted heavily toward political work, was roundly criticized, so undertaking the show’s next iteration was especially risky.

But Mr. Kertess always managed to straddle the many factions of the art world. As Paul Goldberger said in a New York Times article that ran just before the 1995 exhibition opened, “Neither fully comfortable with the formality of the museum or the hustle of the gallery, he is trusted by each realm as a bridge to the other. He has always sought out new artists and new work and is a fierce advocate of those who please his catholic taste.”

Klaus Kertess was born in New York City to Ferdinand Kertess and the former Kate Daasch on July 16, 1940. He grew up in Westchester County and attended the Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., and Yale University. He did postgraduate study in Bonn and Cologne, Germany.

Returning to New York, “I then held a ridiculous job,” he said, “supposedly buying art for an advertising agency that had no spending money.” That experience made him realize he wanted to run his own gallery.

He and Mr. Sullivan were married on Aug. 21, 2004. “We had a great marriage,” his partner said. “We had a great life together.” In addition to Mr. Sullivan, a son, Sam Sullivan of New York City, a sister, Barbara Kertess of Potomac, Md., and a brother, Hans Kertess of New York, survive him.

Alicia Longwell, the chief curator of the Parrish Art Museum, recalled working with him there. “Klaus curated so many extraordinary exhibitions — for the Parrish and at leading museums around the world — but for me one particular moment stands out. We were finishing the installation on the last wall of the last gallery of his beautiful 1998 show ‘Sea Change.’ He looked at the Jackson Pollock drip painting ‘Phosphorescence’ hanging alongside one of Albert Pinkham Ryder’s roiling seascapes and a broad smile came across his face.”

“ ‘This makes me happier than anything I’ve ever done — to see these two paintings side by side. You know immediately that for Pollock, Ryder was “the only American master.” ’ This is what Klaus did so brilliantly — bringing works of art together and letting them speak for themselves, and this is his enduring legacy.”

A memorial service will be held at the Whitney Museum at a date to be announced, as well as a dispersal of his ashes.
