An obituary for him will appear in a future issue.

Tom Ward, a real estate developer who split his time between East Hampton, London, Austria, and Australia, died of a heart attack at home in Wootton, Australia, on Feb. 5. He was 75.

Mr. Ward was born on Nov. 29, 1940, in Liverpool, England, to Thomas Ward and the former Catherine Forde. In 1949, at the age of 9, his family came to New York and moved to an apartment in the Bronx, later building a small summer cottage at Maidstone Park in East Hampton. His fondness for East Hampton continued throughout his life, and he later returned every June and also over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

Growing up, Mr. Ward attended St. Mary School and Mount Saint Michael Academy in the Bronx and Iona College, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree.

Starting in his early 20s, from about 1960 to 1970, he frequented what was formerly Mitty’s General Store, a popular Southampton discotheque at the time. The original building burned down and it later relocated to the Hotel St. James, a large house in Water Mill that had been converted to a club. Mr. Ward first worked as a manager there and finally purchased the business.

From Memorial Day until Labor Day, Mitty’s played live music seven nights a week and offered free entry to anyone who worked at a local restaurant or bar, knowing they would in turn recommend it to vacationers in search of a good time. The Lovin’ Spoonful, Rat Race Choir, and Twisted Sister all played there.

At 30, Mr. Ward moved to London and worked for Geo. Joslin Estate Agents, a property management company, ultimately taking it over and building it into a successful company that he ran for more than 30 years.

In 1981, he married Annie Merrick, a native of Suffolk, England, in East Hampton. The couple spent their honeymoon in Montauk and returned to the British countryside, just outside of London, where they raised their four children.

Full of life, Mr. Ward loved to laugh and joke and was passionate about motorbikes and classic cars, Porsches and Formula One in particular, his family said. In his spare time, he took great pleasure in reading history, appreciating nature, and looking at stars. His son Marcus Ward said that his father loved a bargain in any form, routinely perusing local yard sales in search of a deal. Five hours ahead in London, he would read The Star online and send his sister, Alicia Ward, who lives in East Hampton, his pick of each weekend’s best yard sales.

In late September of 2005, he married Daphne Talevi-Ward at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London. They spent many years traveling and sharing good food and wine with family and friends around the world, his family recalled.

Mr. Ward is survived Ms.Talevi-Ward of London and his four children: Olivia Porter of West Sussex, England, Elisabeth Crocker of Rio de Janeiro, Marcus Ward of Brooklyn, and Patrick Ward of London. His sister, Alicia Ward of East Hampton, also survives, as do two grandchildren and one niece.

On June 5, Mr. Ward’s family will scatter his ashes at Maidstone Park Beach in East Hampton. A meal and celebration will follow at the house of his sister and Ben Porter. Marcus Ward has asked to be contacted should anyone like to attend: [email protected].

Ted Stafford Jr., a retired Southampton Town police officer, well-known union leader, and longtime Sag Harbor Fire Department volunteer, died on May 2 after collapsing in the driveway of his house on Palmer Terrace in Sag Harbor. He was 73.

Because he had responded to a fire department call a few hours earlier, his death was being considered a line of duty death, according to Tom Gardella, the department’s chief.

Mr. Stafford was deeply committed to his fellow police officers, working for over a decade as their advocate. He kept in touch with no fewer than 85 retirees, and worked to bring them together with current officers at various events, his sister Helen Diakun said. He had wanted to be a police officer from boyhood, but did not join the Southampton force until 1974, after six years in the Navy and nine years with New York Bell Telephone.

He served for over 20 years, assigned to the patrol division, and was named officer of the year in 1978. Toward the end of his career, he was put in charge of the part-time officers, according to Lieut. Susan Ralph of the department. After retiring, he could often be found at headquarters. “He always had a smile on his face and was just a great person to be around. We will all miss him,” she said.

Well known across the state as a union leader, Mr. Stafford served as president of the Southampton Town Patrolman’s Benevolent Association for 12 years, and on the executive boards of the State Police Conference and the National Association of Police Organizations. In April 2015, the Southampton Town P.B.A. awarded him a citation for dedication and selflessness, and named him a “forever president.”

He was born Theodore A. Stafford Jr. at Jamaica Hospital in Queens on Aug. 17, 1942, to Ted and Helen Stafford. He grew up in Floral Park, attending Floral Park Bellerose Elementary and later St. Paul’s Preparatory School in Garden City, where he was a star soccer and baseball player. He enlisted in the Navy soon after graduation, and was assigned after training to the U.S.S. Rogers as a radioman first-class. The destroyer was touring the Northern Pacific in company with battleships and aircraft carriers when, in the Gulf of Tonkin, she was shot upon. The incident helped lead to war between North Vietnam and the United States.

Mr. Stafford was about to be married and had been told he would be allowed to fly home for his wedding, but it was decided to keep him on ship, as he was one of only two radiomen. His marriage to Frances Trunzo, a Sag Harbor native, was postponed to Oct. 17, 1965.

The couple had met on Long Beach in the village, after Mr. Stafford, then a teenager, bicycled from his family’s Noyac residence to Sag Harbor, his sister said. His father had built a log cabin, one of the nine original homes in the Northampton colony, in 1937, and the family spent summers there.

After the couple married, they lived at the naval base in San Diego for a year, before he was discharged in 1966, and then settled in Sag Harbor.

About a year before Mr. Stafford retired from the police department, he and his wife started a small vending machine business, still in existence, called Rainbow Refreshments. Though both had other jobs, the business gave them the opportunity to spend more time together, his sister said. “They had a marriage made in heaven,” she said.

Mrs. Stafford died of a brain aneurysm in 1998. The police and fire departments rallied around Mr. Stafford, his sister recalled.

A 48-year Sag Harbor firefighter, he was a former captain of the Phoenix Hook and Ladder company. He was the department treasurer from 1975 to 1977, a warden from 1974 to 1978, and a former head of the honor guard. He began dispatching calls from the firehouse a few years ago, Chief Tom Gardella said.

The fire department had been called out the evening he died to stand by for a medevac landing at Havens Beach for an 11-month-old who was being airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital after suffering injuries in a fall. Mr. Stafford took his seat at the firehouse and took over dispatching. After the call was finished, he attended a meeting at the firehouse. He went into cardiac arrest two and a half hours later.

His family said he cared deeply about his community. “He was doing something in the end that he was so dedicated to,” his son Ted Stafford III said.

He is survived by four children, John Stafford of Sag Harbor, Andrea McAree of Sag Harbor, Maureen Stafford of Hampton Bays, and Ted Stafford III of Manhattan. He also leaves six grandchildren and two sisters, Ms. Diakun of Southampton and Priscilla Stafford of Sag Harbor, and a host of nieces and nephews.

His funeral was on May 9 at the Old Whalers Church in Sag Harbor, followed by burial at Oakland Cemetery.

Donations can be made to Cormaria Retreat House, P.O. Box 1993, Sag Harbor 11963, or to the Sag Harbor Volunteer Ambulance Corps, P.O. Box 2725.

Gregory P. Zaykowski was always there for a friend in need, his family said. A mechanic who lived all his life on Sagg Road in Sag Harbor, he enjoyed fishing and spending time at the ocean beaches. Mr. Zaykowski died at home of undetermined causes on May 17. He was 35.

He was born on Feb. 9, 1981, at Southampton Hospital to Anthony Zaykowski and the former Mary Ann Michalecko, both of whom survive. He graduated from Pierson High School in Sag Harbor before entering the auto diesel technology program at Ohio Technical College in Cleveland.

After graduation and until 2008, Mr. Zaykowski worked at the Buzz Chew Chevrolet Cadillac car dealership in Southampton. He later worked as a self-employed mechanic, and also with his father in the elder Mr. Zaykowski’s caretaking business.

In addition to his parents, he leaves a sister, Christine French of Sag Harbor.

Antonio Cuesta died at home in East Hampton on May 16. He was 73 and had been ill with several ailments.

Talented with his hands, Mr. Cuesta was a trained hairstylist in his native Argentina. After immigrating to the United States in 1981 with his wife, Cristina Costanzo, and their three daughters, he worked as a hairstylist, among many other jobs, in Montauk and East Hampton. He eventually settled into painting and was remembered as an excellent worker.

After he and his wife divorced, he lived for a time in Miami and Mississippi before returning to East Hampton, where he enjoyed the company of friends and family.

An excellent cook, he frequently held court over the parrilla for family pig roasts with his former brother-in-law, Luis Costanzo. He took great pride in creating family feasts, enjoyed many Sunday afternoon cookouts, and particularly like to cook for his grandchildren. His artistic flair and love of music brought great joy to his family, they said.

Mr. Cuesta was born on May 10, 1943, in Entre Ríos, Argentina, to Eduardo and Marciana Cuesta.

His family said he took a particular liking to the family dogs. He was always willing to help take care of them and spent a great deal of time playing with them.

Mr. Cuesta is survived by his daughters, Yanina Cuesta of East Hampton, Paula Sarlo of Springs, and Veronica Sol Morsch of Colchester, Conn., by five grandchildren, and by his former wife, who lives in Miami and East Hampton. A brother, Marciano Cuesta, and a sister, Elvira Cuesta, both of Argentina, also survive.

A private memorial for family and friends will take place on Sunday. Those who wish to attend have been asked to get in touch with a family member for details.

Owen James Stinson Jr., a Sag Harbor native and dog lover who had careers in aircraft manufacturing and as a drug and alcohol counselor, died at his home in Chateaugay, N.Y., on April 17, of unknown causes. He was 71.

Mr. Stinson was a skilled mechanic, carpenter, and jack-of-all-trades. After graduating from Pierson High School in 1962, and while attending college at night, he went to work for Agawam Aircraft, which later became Grumman Aircraft. He worked at a Boeing Aircraft factory in Everett, Wash., on hydraulic systems, and later opened his own hydraulic business in upstate New York.

In his late 30s, after obtaining a master’s degree in drug and alcohol counseling, Mr. Stinson worked in that field for the New York State Department of Corrections, as an offender-rehabilitation coordinator. He retired in 2015, but continued teaching night classes at North Country Community College in Malone, N.Y., having begun in 2001.

He had a quick wit and sense of humor, his family said, and was well liked. Family members added that he was a loving and devoted husband.

With his wife, Pam Griswold, Mr. Stinson rescued and adopted dozens of dogs. At his death he left five of his “babies,” as he called them, which have all been placed in new homes. Ms. Griswold died in February.

Mr. Stinson was born at Southampton Hospital on Feb. 15, 1945, a son of Owen James Stinson Sr. and the former June Lake. He grew up in Sag Harbor, attending St. Andrew’s Catholic School as a child.

He is survived by his children, Jody Sheldon, April Griswold, Mark Stinson, Scott Stinson, and Adam Griswold. He also leaves his mother, June Daniels; two sisters, Joyce Leland and Janice Hoagland, and a brother, Ronald Stinson, all of East Hampton, and a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
