Contributions in her memory may be sent to the Montauk Community Church, P. O. Box 698, Montauk 11954. A full obituary will appear in a future issue.

Carl Hans Tiedemann II, an East Hampton resident whose long career in investment banking included founding a firm that helped finance successful hedge funds and a trust company that became a model for the industry, died at his New York City home on April 30 of an apparent heart attack. He was 89 years old.

Mr. Tiedemann began his career as a salesman for American Cyanamid, but soon found work on Wall Street, first with Stone and Webster, a small brokerage firm, and then, in 1962, with Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette. He became its president in 1975. During his years at the firm, Mr. Tiedemann was on the board of numerous corporations, such as Winrock International, a Winthrop Rockefeller foundation, the Alltel Corporation, and Dillon Read and Company. He was on the board of governors of the American Stock Exchange from 1969 to 1972 and a trustee of the Allen-Stevenson School.

Leaving the firm in 1980, he started the Tiedemann Investment Group, now, after 36 years, one of the longest- standing firms in the hedge fund industry, and the Tiedemann Trust Company, now known as Tiedemann Wealth Management, which pioneered an “open architecture” standard.

He was born on June 3, 1926, in Cleveland, the son of Carl Hans Tiedemann and May Glenn. His father died when he was 3, in the midst of the Great Depression, and his mother moved her son and his sister to Plainfield, N.J., where she had family. He attended Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, and served in the Navy during World War II. At the end of the war, he enrolled at Trinity College, from which he graduated in 1959. He had been the founder of the lacrosse program at Trinity and, years later, was inducted into its Lacrosse Hall of Fame

As a leader, Carl was remarkably positive and optimistic. In the face of the greatest challenges he would find a silver lining,” one of his sons, Michael Tiedemann, who is now chief executive officer of Tiedemann Wealth Management, said on the company’s website.

 Mr. Tiedemann and Mary Cumming were married in 1959 and came to East Hampton with their four children in the early 1960s. They were divorced in 1995, and she died in 2012. Mr. Tiedemann and Kari Jonassen, who survives, were married in 2006. Their East Hampton home was at Chancey Close.

In East Hampton, Mr. Tiedemann was a member of the Maidstone Club. He also was a member of the University Club, the Link Club, the River Club of New York, the Anglers Club, the Economic Club of New York, and the Long Island Wyandanch Club, among others.

In addition to his wife and his son Michael, three more of his children survive. They are Hans Tiedemann of Santa Monica, Calif., Mark Tiedemann of Los Angeles, and Leigh Tiedemann of Lexington, Mass. Eleven grandchildren also survive.

A memorial service will be held on May 24 at 10:45 a.m. at St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church, 325 Park Avenue, New York City. Donations in his memory have been suggested to the Tiedemann Family Scholarship Fund at the Middlesex School, 1400 Lowell Road, Concord, Mass. 01742.

Correction: An earlier version of this obituary that appeared in print and online gave the incorrect date of death for Mary Cumming. She died in 2012, not 2002. 

Louisa Chase, a painter who came to prominence in the 1970s with the ascent of the Neo-Expressionists, died of cancer on May 8 at home in East Hampton. She was 65 and had been ill for seven years.

While in graduate school at Yale in 1975, Ms. Chase was selected for her first solo show at Artists Space in New York City by Joan Snyder. After graduating, she moved to New York, where she became friends with many of the rising artists of her generation. She had her first commercial gallery show in 1978.

Ms. Chase rejected Minimalism and Conceptual Art in favor of figuration, symbolism, and narrative. Her work was characterized by bold colors and brushstrokes, sometimes including elements of the figure and dark calligraphic scribbles, often contrasted by geometric forms. Mel Kendrick, a sculptor and friend, said, her work “was totally outside the existing dialectic of abstraction and representation. . . . She had a very clear idea of what she had to paint. Her art from that time might be seen as an expression of turmoil, albeit through a child-like imagery. She painted in a fast, gestural, cartoonish style that belied the deep focus she brought to her work.”

“Louisa Chase was one of my favorite people,” said Mary Heilmann, an artist who, like Mr. Kendrick, divides her time between New York and the South Fork. “I met her when she first came to New York. Her work was beautiful, original and edgy. So was she.” Ms. Heilman said she was living at the Cozy Cabins in Wainscott in 1983, and Ms. Chase “spent many evenings there in my little cabin drinking lots of red wine and gossiping and talking about our work.”

Louisa Chase was born in Panama City, Panama, on March 18, 1951, to Benjamin Chase and the former Wilda Stengel, who survives.  She grew up in Mount Gretna, Pa., studied painting and sculpture at Syracuse University, and earned an M.F.A. from the Yale University School of Art in 1975. Her work was exhibited internationally, including at the 1984 Venice Biennale, and can be found in public collections throughout the country. Her last gallery exhibition was at Halsey Mckay in East Hampton in 2011.

Ms. Chase bought a house in Sag Harbor in 1991 and later moved to East Hampton. “One thing that keeps coming to mind is her love for the outdoors,” said Virva Hinnemo, a Springs artist. “She loved kayaking on the bay. When she lived in the city she was part of a group of people who gave free kayaking lessons on the Hudson River.” She also kept a sailboat in Sag Harbor.

George Negroponte, an artist who lives in Springs, met Ms. Chase in New York in the 1970s. “She and her closest friends at the time, Elizabeth Murray and Susan Rothenberg, all made one hell of a statement. Louise remained dedicated to her ideals, but life intervened in very difficult ways and the obstacle course proved too tough. Remarkably, she remained pure as a painter. I hope that counts more than anything.”

In addition to her mother, who lives in Cornwall, Pa., a sister, Abigail Chase of Lebanon, Pa., and a brother, Ben Chase of Los Angeles, survive. The family has suggested memorial donations to the American Cancer Society, P.O. B

Antonio Cuesta, a hairstylist and native of Argentina, died at home in East Hampton on Sunday. He was 73 and had been ill with several ailments. A private memorial for family and friends will be held on May 29. Friends have been asked to get in touch with a family member for more details. An obituary for Mr. Cuesta will appear in a future edition.

Jack D. Storm held a degree in civil engineering and put it to good use, working his way up to become chief of rail planning for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, where he oversaw the conception, design, and construction of the PATH rail system during the 1960s. Mr. Storm, a former resident of Montauk, died on April 12 of congestive heart failure, under the care of hospice, at his son’s house in Walnutport, Pa. He was 87 years old.

Born on Oct. 8, 1928, in Yonkers, N.Y., to Jack Storm and the former Esther Dougherty, he grew up and attended high school there, graduating in 1945. He joined the Marine Corps soon after and served for several years.

Upon his discharge, he attended New York University on the G.I. Bill, earning his degree in the early 1950s. His first job was with the New York Central Railroad, where he rose in the ranks before being hired by the Port Authority.

In June 1955, Mr. Storm married Marion Hayduk. With three children, they split their time between Upper Montclair, N.J., and Montauk, where, said their daughter Kim Storm, their house was a focal point for many gatherings. They would sit by the fire with friends and family, she said, eating lobster, telling stories, and singing songs together.

Toward the end of his career Mr. Storm was in demand as a consultant to the railway industry before retiring to Montauk, where he enjoyed a newfound love for poetry and writing lyrics. He also loved fishing, gardening, and woodcarving. His daughter said he was a quick-witted and logical man who enjoyed life’s simple things.

In addition to his wife of 61 years, his daughter Kim, who lives in Kittery Point, Me., and his son, Derek Storm, Mr. Storm leaves another daughter, Gail Storm of Huntington Station. Five grandchildren survive as well.

A memorial service will be held on Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Montauk Community Church. The Rev. Bill Hoffmann will officiate.

Rossetti Perchik, a Springs architect and supporter of community causes through the Clamshell Foundation, which he founded, died on May 7 of cancer. He was 65.

Mr. Perchik was a selfless, thoughtful, and caring person, a number of people said this week. In naming him its Man of the Year in 2010, the Rotary Club of East Hampton said it was honoring him for exemplifying the club’s motto: “service above self.” Rob Norrby, the Rotary Club president at the time, noted that Mr. Perchik personally took on many community projects, “without any benefit to himself.”

The proceeds from fund-raisers organized by the Clamshell Foundation, which Mr. Perchik founded in 1991 and which has provided more than $100,000 in grants to local organizations, were used in part to provide turkeys and other supplies for food pantries, which he liked to hand-deliver each year. He also enjoyed presiding over the organization’s annual presentation of scholarships for East Hampton High School students.

Mr. Perchik had a rapport with young children, who loved him, and with animals. While living in Oklahoma, he had a Great Dane that he would take out for great romps, but more recently he was a devoted caretaker of a pet parrot, Harry Two Feathers.

He looked forward to the Clamshell Foundation’s sandcastle contest every year, hoping for nice weather, a good turnout, and a fun day at the beach for youngsters, parents, and others. Before the annual event, he highlighted a different local artist by displaying a work of art on the T-shirts created for the contest.

Some years ago, Mr. Perchik was motivated to save the summertime tradition of mid-July fireworks over Three Mile Harbor after the Boys Harbor summer camp closed. The camp had sponsored fireworks as an annual fund-raiser, and he reached out to Anthony Duke, who founded the camp, to Grucci Fireworks, and mounted a continually challenging fireworks effort, which he renamed Great Bonac Fireworks. It continued from 2009 through last year, thanks in part to Mr. Perchik’s personal support.

Rossetti Perchik was born in New York City on Oct. 18, 1950, a son of Simon Perchik and the former Evelyn Rossetti, who was known as Mickie. He grew up on Staten Island. The family had a cottage at Maidstone Park, and Mr. Perchik spent a good part of his childhood as a member of a pack of neighborhood kids there in the summer. He remained a fixture in the Maidstone Park neighborhood, where he lived in a family house that he redesigned and renovated.

He grew up fishing and clamming and supported environmental and conservation efforts throughout his adult life. He enjoyed the beach and loved fishing in the bay from his boat, a restored vintage motorboat in a signature bright yellow. He enjoyed having a good meal with friends, often preparing and sharing local seafood or dining out and socializing at Michael’s restaurant at Maidstone Park, which had been a neighborhood soda fountain when he was a kid. He also enjoyed football.

 He was a regular at community fund-raisers such as the Springs Fire Department breakfasts. Under the Clamshell Foundation, he brought numerous cooks together for a chili cook-off that would draw a crowd on a late winter day.

Mr. Perchik attended Brooklyn Technical High School and went on to Oklahoma State University, earning his credentials as an architect. After living for a time in Oklahoma, he returned to East Hampton and established his own firm. He remained close to a circle of friends from his days in Tulsa, however, traveling to regular get-togethers.

A member of the American Institute of Architects, Mr. Perchik designed a number of houses here, and served as the architect of record for a renovation of Ashawagh Hall in Springs and other public buildings. He served on the East Hampton Town Architectural Review Board and was a member of the East Hampton Village Historical Society and the Springs Historical Society as well as the East Hampton Lions Club, which honored him at a meeting last week.

Mr. Perchik is survived by his father, a resident of Maidstone Park, as well as a sister, Dorian Bergen of New York City, and a brother, Dean Perchik of East Hampton. He was cremated, and his ashes will be scattered on the water, with a memorial gathering  at a future date.

Memorial contributions have been suggested to the Clamshell Foundation, P.O. Box 2725, East Hampton 11937, or online at clamshellfoundation.org.

Sue Maynard, a longtime Montauk resident, died in her sleep on Friday at  home in Montauk, at the age of 62. Death was attributed to complications of heart disease.

Born in Taunton, Mass., on Feb. 22, 1954, she grew up there, attending Sacred Heart Elementary School and graduating from Taunton High School. Her parents were Charles R. Vickers Sr. and the former Julia Zolnoski.

Growing up in Taunton, she was near to Cape Cod, and she moved there after her divorce from a career military man. She loved the beaches and the ocean air, her brother, Charles Vickers Jr., said — and also the New England Patriots, said Tom Phillips, a Montauk friend: “Tom Brady could do no wrong.” She was a big fan of NASCAR as well.

Ms. Maynard, who came to live in Montauk about 30 years ago, worked in several of the hamlet’s hostelries, among them Roughriders, the Montauk Manor, and the Surf Club. She also worked at the 1770 House in East Hampton, in its kitchen. She had their mother’s love of cooking, her brother said, adding that her pastries were “spectacular.” In recent years, she was a fixture behind the counter at Montauk Liquors and Wines.

She had one son, James Maynard, whom she deeply loved, taking great pride in all his accomplishments. Besides her son, who lives in Port Jefferson, and her brother, who lives in Taunton, she leaves another brother, Jeffrey Vickers of San Geronimo, Calif., and two grandchildren. A sister, Sheila Costa, died before her.

Graveside services will take place on Saturday at 5 p.m. at Fort Hill Cemetery in Montauk.

Ellen Marie Galcik of Ditch Plain Road in Montauk, who had been New York State Assemblyman Perry B. Duryea Sr.’s secretary, died at home on Friday after a long illness. She was 85.

Mrs. Galcik and her husband, the late Walter Galcik, started visiting Montauk in the late 1950s, staying at the Ditch Plain trailer park. They bought their house in about 1971, making it their year-round home after Mr. Galcik retired in 1988. She was a probate court clerk at the Bronx County Courthouse before retiring in 1984 and went to work at the Montauk Chamber of Commerce after Mr. Duryea’s death in 2004.

She was born to Walter and Julia Bond on July 1, 1930, in the Bronx, where she grew up and attended Walton High School. She and her husband lived on on Rawlins Avenue in the Bronx after marrying in 1952. She was a waitress in Manhattan in the 1970s before going to work at the court.

Her son, Walter (Peanuts) Galcik Jr., said it took her a while to warm up to living in Montauk full time, but that she came to love it. “She would park her car at the post office and walk through town, talk to everybody, even if she didn’t know them.” She could scarcely pass up a yard sale, her son said, particularly seeking treasures at the Montauk Community Church’s rummage sales and the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons Thrift Shop in Sagaponack. 

Small dogs were another passion, her family said. When her children were young and the family lived in the Bronx, they used to bring home stray dogs. She would clean them up and adopt them, they said. During most of her years in Montauk, Mrs. Galcik had Yorkshire terriers, though her last dog, which now lives with her son, in Montauk and Maine, was a shih tzu.

In addition to Walter Galcik Jr., she is survived by her other children: Karen Galcik of California, Matthew Galcik of Montauk, Richard Galcik of Queens, and Dennis Galcik of the Bronx, as well as by one grandchild and one great-grandchild.

Mrs. Galcik attended Mass at St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church in Montauk, where a Mass of Christian burial will be said on Wednesday at 10 a.m. Visiting hours will be at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton on Tuesday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Burial will be private.

Rossetti Perchik of Springs, an architect and founder of the Clamshell Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports community causes and sponsors the Great Bonac Fireworks and an annual sandcastle contest, died on Saturday. He was 65. A memorial will take place at a future date, and a full obituary will appear in a future issue.

John R. Beedenbender, a trap-shooter, custom stock designer for shotguns, and longtime member of the Maidstone Gun Club, died last Thursday at the North Broward Medical Center in Pompano Beach, Fla. He was 73 and had had throat cancer.

Born in Manhattan on Dec. 2, 1943 to James J. Beedenbender and the former Elizabeth Mrofchak, he moved to Huntington with his family at the age of 10 and graduated from Huntington High School.

He enlisted in the Navy as a Seabee in 1962 and served through 1966, including two years’ service in Greece and another two in Spain. Soon after his return he met the former JoEllen Whiteley, who was working for his mother at a cosmetics firm in Commack. They were married on Oct. 1, 1966.

“My father worked in East Hampton in the late ’70s for Richard Novack Construction,” and later for Ronald Webb Builder, said his daughter Janice D’Angelo. A master carpenter and woodworker, “he did all the stuff nobody else could figure out,” she said.

Mr. Beedenbender travelled up and down the East Coast as a member of the American Trap Association, competing for trophies, and brought many home. He favored a 12-gauge shotgun. He was also an amateur armorer, customizing guns in a shop he had at home.

The family built a house on Montauk Avenue in Northwest Woods in the mid-’80s and lived there for a time before moving to Margate, Fla. When they came back to the South Fork it was to Sag Harbor, where they rented for a time, Ms. D’Angelo said, but wound up on Floyd Street in East Hampton, eventually making a final move back to Margate.

They had three other children in addition to Ms. D’Angelo, who lives in Sag Harbor. They are John R. Beedenbender Jr. of St. Petersburg, Fla., Joyce Beedenbender of Margate, and James Beedenbender, also of Sag Harbor.

He wife survives, as does a brother, James Beedenbender of Patchogue, and four grandchildren. He died just short of what would have been his 50th wedding anniversary, and Ms. D’Angelo said that the children had planned to send their parents on a celebration trip.

Graveside services will be held at the South Florida National Cemetery on June 14.
