Frances Theresa Hickey of East Hampton, who was known as Terry, died at home on Sept. 22 at the age of 66. Friends attributed her death to natural causes.

Ms. Hickey was active as a property manager in East Hampton and Shelter Island, her father having introduced her to the real estate business early in her life. She also taught art as a substitute teacher at schools on the South Fork. Her love for animals, particularly basset hounds, led her to start a dog-sitting business, but when her health prevented her from continuing it she welcomed visits from friends and neighbors, who brought their pets along.

Born on Feb. 18, 1948, in Queens, she was the only child of George Hickey and the former Frances Seaward. She attended Mary Louis Academy in Jamaica Estates and spent weekends with her parents on Shelter Island while growing up. Later, she attended Southampton College, majoring in art and education. She moved to East Hampton upon graduation, in 1970, and became a year-round resident.

She volunteered here for the American Legion, selling tickets for events, organizing poppy sales, and, for a time, serving as an officer. She was a member of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in East Hampton, where she was prominent in events, fund-raisers, social outreach programs, Sunday School, and movie nights, and helped to schedule acolytes and lectors.

Ms. Hickey, whose legal name was F. Terry Hickey, was known and loved for her candid eccentricity. Often seen around town in one of her antique Jeep Grand Wagoneers, she had a great sense of humor, friends said. She especially enjoyed her favorite holiday, Halloween.

She never married and leaves no children. Funeral services will be held on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at St. Luke’s, the Rev. Denis Brunelle officiating. A reception will follow in the church’s Hoie Hall.

Ms. Hickey was cremated. Her ashes will be buried in the memorial garden at St. Luke’s. Contributions have been suggested to the church at 18 James Lane, East Hampton 11937, or stlukes?

Catherine M. Reid, who for many years did the bookkeeping for Reid Brothers auto repair in Sag Harbor, her sons’ business, died at home in Amagansett on Oct. 8. She was 88 and had been under hospice care, her family said.

She was born in Liverpool, England, on Dec. 27, 1925, to Charles J. Reynolds and the former Mary Margaret McNeish, and immigrated as a child to Australia, where her maternal uncles worked aboard ships.

In 1957, she came to the United States with her three sons, Robert, Donald, and Norman, aboard the P&O line’s S.S. Orcades and settled in Hicksville, where she raised her sons and volunteered with the American Red Cross. She later worked as an executive secretary.

Mrs. Reid followed her sons Robert and Donald Reid to the South Fork about 30 years ago. They had a Mobile station in Amagansett and later opened Reid Brothers.

She loved to travel and had been all over the world, Donald Reid said. “She was a voracious reader,” as well, he said, and enjoyed history, especially the historical fiction of James A. Michener. She also enjoyed cooking and walking.

In addition to Donald Reid, who lives in Amagansett, Mrs. Reid is survived by her two other sons, Robert Reid of Sag Harbor and Norman Reid of Levittown. She also leaves two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

A private family gathering is planned. Mrs. Reid’s ashes will be scattered on her favorite beach in Australia.

Her family has suggested memorial donations to East End Hospice, P.O. Box 1048, Westhampton Beach 11978.

Samuel Alan Meddaugh, who was valedictorian of East Hampton High School’s class of 1954 before going on to a career in the fledgling computer industry in the 1960s, died at home in Eagan, Minn., on Oct. 13 of complications from a rare heart disease. He was 78.

He was born at Southampton Hospital on May 23, 1936, to Samuel Alanson Meddaugh and the former Winifred Blanding. His family moved to East Hampton from Westhampton when he was 7, his daughter, Lynne Meddaugh, said. His father was the principal and math teacher of East Hampton High School for many years. The family lived on McGuirk Street. After graduating from high school, he attended Iowa State University, where he earned a degree in electrical engineering.

After college, he worked in research for almost four decades for Universal Automatic Computer, or Univac, the pioneering company in main-frame computers. The company eventually became Unisys. Much of his work was classified, as he frequently worked on projects for the Department of Defense. He owned a couple of patents, his family said.

Mr. Meddaugh married Marianne Celeste Edwards in 1958. The couple had four children, three of whom survive, Ann Todd of Auburn, Wash., Mark Meddaugh of Hinckley, Minn., and Lynn Meddaugh of Seattle. His son Scott Meddaugh died before him.

Mr. Meddaugh and his wife divorced in 1979.

Mr. Meddaugh made his home in the Midwest, living first in St. Paul, before moving south of the city to Eagan. He loved the outdoors, and orienteering, in which you find your way through a wilderness area using a map and a compass, was one of his favorite sports. He also was a member of the Northstar Ski Touring Club, a cross-country ski group. He was treasurer for both the Northstar and the Minnesota Orienteering Club. He also loved kayaking and cross-country hiking.

Though he enjoyed the water of the Land of Lakes, he always missed the saltwater of East Hampton, his daughter recalled,.

He regularly visited his parents, and in their later years, as their health was declining, he spent time in East Hampton looking after them.

He passed his love of the outdoors to younger people by becoming a Boy Scout leader. “He was very much an environmentalist, and a naturalist,” his daughter said.

Besides his children, he is also survived by two sisters, Joan Jackson of Sacramento, and Gail Slocum of Williamsport, Pa., five grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

A service for him was held at his home in Eagan, led by Kay Brown. He was cremated, and his ashes were dispersed in the woods on his property and on his son’s grave.

Donations have been suggested to the Nature Conservancy, 1101 West River Parkway, Minneapolis 55415, or Doctors Without Borders, 333 Seventh Avenue, 2nd Floor, New York, N.Y. 10001-5004.

John C. Hardy, an artist and teacher who lived in SoHo and Springs, died of complications from a stroke at Beth Israel Hospital in New York City on Oct. 10 in the company of Joan Semmel, his companion for the past 21 years. He was 91.

Mr. Hardy, who received a Bachelor of Visual Arts degree from Georgia State College in 1969, began exhibiting his work shortly thereafter and maintained an active career for more than four decades, with exhibitions at galleries and museums in the United States and abroad. His work is represented in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum, the High Museum in Atlanta, the National Museum of American Art, the U.S. State Department, and many others, both public and private.

He taught drawing and painting from 1958 to 1981, first at the Atlanta College of Art, and subsequently at the College of Architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology and at New York University.

A figurative painter known especially for his portraits, cityscapes, and sea?scapes, his work captured the depth and complexity of his subjects with empathy, humor, and, in some cases, astute social commentary. According to Gail Levin, an art historian, professor, and author specializing in the art of the 20th and 21st centuries, “Like those of [Edward] Hopper and [Reginald] Marsh, Hardy’s paintings often imply multi-layered meanings, enabling him to distill the essence of a cultural moment. . . . He selects and manipulates with an uncanny power, achieving ironic realism.”

Writing in The Star in 2006, Robert Long cited Mr. Hardy’s “masterful eye for the dynamics of Manhattan architecture and the city’s ambience . . . the swarming, dirty streets, the yellow honk of taxis, the stolid, grimy brownstones. You sense the grit and charged air.”

Mr. Hardy was born in Tours, France, on March 23, 1923, to Charles Crum Hardy and the former Jacqueline Gadois. He lived in Brooklyn from age 1 to 6, when his family relocated to suburban Long Island. His mother died when he was 8, after which he was sent to live with another family in Roanoke, Va., while his father remained in New York. As a teenager, he lived with an aunt in Guilford, N.C.

In 1942, he married Betty Blackman, with whom he lived for 26 years and raised four children. He served in the Army from 1940 to 1945, spending 16 months in Europe during World War II. At age 52, he moved to New York City with Page Ogden, to whom he was married for 12 years. He subsequently lived with Naomi Lionni, who died in 1992.

Mr. Hardy was an avid traveler and fisherman, according to Ms. Semmel, who is also an artist, and was “known for his charm, his soft-spoken manner, and his support of other artists. He truly followed his own path, living life passionately and continuing to paint even into his last years.”

In addition to Ms. Semmel, he is survived by five children, Jacqueline Gadois, Andre Hardy, Mike Hardy, Elizabeth Beahm, and Blanche Pedroza, and by four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Mr. Hardy’s ashes were scattered at Louse Point in Springs on Sunday. A memorial to celebrate his life will be held on Nov. 9 at 2:30 p.m. at the Rose Auditorium at Cooper Union in New York City.

Steven Donald Cookingham of Montauk, who was 57, died at Southampton Hospital on Oct. 28 after having a heart attack.

 Mr. Cookingham had lived in Montauk since 1998, pursuing a career as a craftsman, most recently with Montauk Craftsman Inc. He was said to take great pride in his work and to pay meticulous attention to detail.

He was born on Jan. 14, 1957, in Bronxville, N.Y., to Robert and Janice Cookingham and raised in Tarrytown, N.Y.  After graduating from Sleepy Hollow High School, he attended the State University of New York at New Paltz and later the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, where he was the recipient of a scholarship from the Ford Foundation. He graduated from Pratt in 1979 with a fine arts degree and then worked in Tarrytown as a carpenter.

Mr. Cookinigham was described by family members as a kind and gentle soul who was many things to many people. He had empathy for anyone who was struggling, they said, adding that his greatest talent was being a true friend.

Mr. Cookingham is survived by his parents, Robert Cookingham and the former Janice Bauder, who now live in Williamsburg, Va. Two siblings, James Cookingham of Somerville, N.J., and Susan Finn of West Chester, Pa., also survive, as do two nephews and two nieces.

A celebration of his life will take place on Saturday at 3 p.m. at Shagwong restaurant in Montauk. A lover of animals, his family has suggested donations in his name to the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons, P.O. Box 901, Wainscott 11975.

Word has been received of the death in July of John Thomas Cameron, a summer resident of Sag Harbor since childhood. Mr. Cameron, who also lived in Charleston, S.C., died of a massive heart attack. He was 57.

He earned a degree in architecture from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, and went to work in housing and urban development for New York City after graduation. He went on to establish his own real estate management company, Residential Management Association, overseeing buildings in every New York City borough but Staten Island. He also managed affordable housing developments for the federal government, and held real estate broker’s licenses in both New York and South Carolina.

In his spare time he read anything and everything to do with architectural history or historic preservation, said his wife, the former Linda Seaton.

“He was like a walking encyclopedia of Long Island history,” she said. “When we took drives up the Island he could look in any area, and see what was there beyond the buildings and tell me what it looked like 200 years ago.” He very much liked walking through cemeteries, she said. “He was a soulful and spiritual being who . . . frequented Fort Moultrie and Southern plantations, listening for the ghosts of Civil War time,” she wrote. He had a passion, as well, for “industrious America,” she said, and was fascinated with old trains and engines.

Mr. Cameron was born in New York City on Nov. 9, 1956, to Jack A. Cameron and the former Helen Sayers.

In his youth he was interested in Democratic politics, volunteering for both Jimmy Carter and Bella Abzug during their campaigns in the late 1970s.

Ms. Cameron, who owns the Whoa Nellie shop in Montauk, said her husband greatly enjoyed helping out there in the summers “and talking with customers about New York City, Charleston, and eastern Long Island.”

The couple, who met in 2000, were married in 2009, the year they moved to his parents’ old house in Sag Harbor and to Charleston, where he became a member of the Historic Charleston Foundation. They had lived before that in Manorville, and later in a house in East Moriches that they built together. Mr. Cameron was a great animal lover, his wife said, and they always had a rescued cat and dog from the Animal Rescue Fund or Bide-a-Wee living with them, “one cat and one pit bull at a time.”

Mr. Cameron’s mother, Helen Cameron of New York City, survives. He also leaves two sisters, Joan Wise of New York City and Barbara Cameron of Florida, and two stepchildren, Michael Antonelli of South Carolina and Christian Antonelli of Patchogue. Three step-grandchildren survive as well.

He was buried at Oakland Cemetery in Sag Harbor. Memorial contributions have been suggested for the Sag Harbor Volunteer Fire Department, P.O. Box 209, Sag Harbor 11963. Mr. Cameron’s father was a New York City fire chief, so he held firefighters in high regard, said Ms. Cameron. Sag Harbor emergency medical technicians took him to the hospital on July 12, the day he died.

A memorial service for family and friends will be held on Christmas Day in Charleston.

Jack William Henry Mattair, a psychoanalyst who formerly practiced in Manhattan and East Hampton, died in his sleep at home in East Hampton on Friday. He was 81. His family said the cause of death was not known.

A graduate of the University of Florida, Mr. Mattair earned a Master of Divinity degree from Emory University and a master’s degree in psychoanalysis from the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies in Manhattan. He later became a faculty member there.

Mr. Mattair moved to New York in the early 1960s, first working as a Methodist minister and eventually transitioning into psychoanalysis.

A lover of the arts, in particular the ballet and the symphony, he will be remembered by friends and colleagues for his kindness, generosity, and big heart, his family said.

Mr. Mattair was born on Aug. 14, 1933, in Charleston, S.C. He grew up in Point Washington, Fla., where he was raised by Mabel and Royal Burlison, who had adopted him.

Mr. Mattair is survived by two nephews, Bryan Brett of Beavercreek, Ohio, and Gary Brett of Perry, Fla. Kerry Balchun, his partner of 40 years, died before him.

Mr. Peckham’s obituary will appear in a future issue. He was 63.

Donald M. Kennedy, who survived polio, competed in the Paralympics for many years, and went on to a successful career in law, died at home in Hampton Bays last Thursday. The 81-year-old, who spent summers in Montauk since 1954, had been under a doctor’s care for atrial fibrillation.

Mr. Kennedy overcame a serious bout with polio that kept him hospitalized from the age of 3 to 14 and left his legs paralyzed, according to his wife of 56 years, Cecilia Kennedy. He lived at St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson, at the time a residential hospital for children who contracted the disease. He walked with full braces for many years, but was confined to a wheelchair since the late 1980s.

“He truly was an exceptional man,” Mrs. Kennedy said, adding that he never let his disability stop him. “He never allowed it,” she said.

At St. Charles, he was educated by Dominican nuns. He also formed friendships with many boys who were hospitalized with him that lasted to their deaths, his wife said. After he was released, he lived at home in Queens, attending Newtown High School and then Queens College.

It was in his Long Island City neighborhood that he met the former Cecilia Galgan as a teenager. A friendship blossomed into romance years later, and the couple were married in 1958, while Mr. Kennedy was in law school.

Mr. Kennedy worked for Lufthansa and Pam Am Airlines, in the insurance field, during the day while attending Brooklyn Law School at night five days a week, his wife said. A Manhattan law firm specializing in maritime law approached him after he earned his degree, and he eventually became a senior partner.

In 1986, Mr. Kennedy and Jack Lillis founded an admiralty law firm under the name Kennedy and Lillis in Lower Manhattan. The firm later moved its offices to Maiden Lane, where it remains today as Kennedy, Lillis, Schmidt, and English. Throughout his career, Mr. Kennedy traveled the world on trips involving the firm’s maritime cases.

Mr. Kennedy also traveled throughout Europe and the Far East as a Paralympian, competing from the late 1950s through the late 1970s or early 1980s, his wife said. “He was a tremendous athlete,” she said. From his wheelchair, he raced and threw the discus, javelin, and shot put.

Mr. Kennedy was born to James Kennedy and the former Mary Frances McCarthy on Nov. 4, 1932, in Brooklyn. His older brothers, Eugene Kennedy and James Kennedy, died before him, as did a sister, Jacquelyn Kennedy, who died in an accident at the age of 12.

He had been spending summers in Montauk when his mother and her brother built a saltbox on Soundview Drive that he and his wife later inherited. When he retired in 1993, he moved there, and then built a house in Hampton Bays, where he and his wife spent six months of the year.

During his time in Montauk, he enjoyed his hobby of ship modeling and built furniture out of wood in a workshop he built behind his house after he retired. Music and singing were also passions. In college he had been a member of a glee club, and in Montauk he was a member of St. Therese of Lisieux Catholic Church’s choir.

Mr. Kennedy was active in the Knights of Columbus in Long Island City, where he served as a grand knight.

A wake was held at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton on Saturday and Sunday. A funeral was held on Monday at St. Therese of Lisieux, followed by burial at Fort Hill Cemetery in Montauk.
