    Gerald E. McCarthy, a retired detective with the New York Police Department and a devoted member of the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Bridgehampton, died on March 16 at Good Shepherd Hospice in Port Jefferson. His death was caused by leukemia, which was the result of myelodysplastic syndrome, a blood disease.  

    Dedicated to his chosen career in law enforcement, Mr. McCarthy worked as a police officer for New York City and also as assistant commissioner with the New York State Division of Criminal Justice. He lived in Tarrytown, N.Y., before relocating permanently to Noyac.

    Mr. McCarthy was an active golfer before he fell ill, enjoyed reading and book groups, and belonged to such organizations as the Police Anchor Club, National Law Enforcement Associates, Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, and the Holy Name Society.

    With his wife, Margaret, who survives, he spent summers in Sag Harbor for over 30 years before becoming a year-round resident of Noyac six years ago.

    Married 30 years, he and his wife spent the winter months in Florida and traveled frequently, in this country and in Europe. They were socially active, and had a large group of friends on the East End.

    Born on Oct. 11, 1936 in New York City to J. Russell McCarthy and the former Anne Ayres, Mr. McCarthy attended St. Francis Preparatory School and St. John’s University.

    “He had a wonderful sendoff,” Mrs. McCarthy said,, which included a N.Y.P.D. honor guard. His funeral, which a large group attended, was on March 21 at the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary. Visiting hours had been held at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in Sag Harbor the previous day and burial was at St. Andrew’s Catholic Cemetery in Sag Harbor.

    Two stepdaughters, Maureen Rossi of Bethesda, Md., and Elizabeth Kirwan of Sag Harbor, also survive, as do two sisters, Patricia Vozab of Amenia, N.Y., and Sheila Maher of Ohio.

    Ann F. Walker, who was a director of nursing at New York Presbyterian’s Babies and Children’s Hospital in New York City before moving to Springs, died at home in Jupiter, Fla., on Sunday. No cause of death was given. She was 86.

    Mrs. Walker was known as Rusty. She was born in Haverstraw, N.Y., on Aug. 8, 1926, the daughter of Edward Freyfogle and the former Anna Brady. Her aunt and uncle, Kathryn and Irving Rose, adopted her at an early age and raised her.

    She graduated from Haverstraw High School and St. Luke’s Hospital School of Nursing in New York City, and soon after began her career at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. There she met her future husband, Dr. Nelson C. Walker, a family physician from New Jersey and the first director of Hackensack Hospital’s department of emergency medicine.

    When Dr. Walker retired in the mid-1980s, the couple began splitting their time between their home in Hackensack and their house on Fireplace Road in Springs, where the couple liked to tend their raised garden. Mrs. Walker moved to Florida after her husband’s death in 1992.

    She is survived by her children, Judith Yettito of West Palm Beach, Fla., Jean Gardner of Wayne, Me., Joan Gustavson of Orient, Dr. Nelson Walker II of Storrs, Conn., and David Walker of Jupiter, Fla.

    Calvin M. Smith, who was born in the Hayground section of Bridgehampton on Aug. 11, 1927, died of a brain tumor on March 12 at home, across the street from where he was born. He was 85.

    His parents were Dr. Louisa Rose Brown and Leonard H. Smith. He grew up in Bridgehampton, graduating from Bridgehampton High School in 1944. He joined the merchant marine in 1945, going on to enlist in the Army the next year. He served in occupied Japan with the 25th Infantry Division until 1947, and continued to serve in the Army, stateside, through 1951. He played the clarinet in the Army band.

    Mr. Smith attended Cortland College upstate and the University of Miami in Florida. In 1953, he went to work for the Republic Aviation Corporation in Farmingdale, and in 1957 took a job with the Suffolk County Department of Health Services. He worked with the department for 30 years. When he retired, he was the head of the Riverhead Office of Environmental Sanitation.

    In 1954, he married a dancer, Dionne Farrell. They had one daughter, Athena Travlos, who now lives in Chios, Greece. Mrs. Smith died in 1998.

    He loved nature, and served on the board of the Southampton Trails Preservation Society, for which he helped plan and clear many of the paths that are popular today. He would guide walks on the trails, as well.

    Mr. Smith was an enthusiastic bridge player, too, and won many trophies as a member of the Southampton Bridge Club.

    In 2000, he married Cecile Graffin, who still lives in their house in Hayground.

    He enjoyed traveling, and when doing so would take photographs of the scenery around him. He would then commission local artists to render paintings based on the photos.

    Hathaway Martin Barry, 62, a lifelong resident of North Haven and Sag Harbor who was known as Hap, died at the Hamptons Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing in Southampton on March 3. Mr. Barry, who had had heart problems, was said to have lived an uncomplicated life, employed mostly at the Baron’s Cove Inn, which was owned and operated by his uncle and his father.

    Born at Southampton Hospital to Robert Ira Barry and the former Betty Fay Perkins on June 11, 1951, Mr. Barry was called Happy as a child, which was shortened when he became a teen. “He had that smile right until the end,” said Bonnie Jackson, a stepsister.

    At the age of 12, Mr. Barry fell 75 feet from a cliff in the Idaho Snake River Canyon and was in a coma for the next three months. There followed six months in the hospital with several surgeries. His family said the accident affected him throughout his life. He regularly received rehabilitation and physical therapy.

    Mr. Barry worked at both the Baron’s Cove reception desk and its marina. His co-workers meant the world to him, family members said, and he would do anything for them.

    In his spare time he read a lot and enjoyed television, especially cooking programs, whose recommended recipes he would sometimes try. He also liked to play the lottery, and had great joy when he held a winning ticket.

    He is survived by his former stepmother, Nada Barry of Sag Harbor, two half-brothers, Robert H. Barry of Corvallis, Ore., and Trevor Barry of Pine Island, Fla., and Sag Harbor, and four step-siblings, Bonnie Wingate-Jackson of Sag Harbor, Natasha Sigmund of Brooklyn, Derek Ebeling-Koning of Allison Park, Pa., and Gwen Waddington of Shelter Island.

    Stanley Snadowsky, a co-founder of the Bottom Line nightclub in New York’s Greenwich Village and longtime music business impresario, died on Feb. 25 in Las Vegas of diabetic complications. He was 70 and had been ill for 11 months.

    Mr. Snadowsky, who had a house on Spread Oak Lane in East Hampton for many years, died holding the hands of his wife and two daughters, “Bat Out of Hell,” a favorite album by Meatloaf, playing continuously, said his family.

    A lover of nature and a decorated Boy Scout, he spent many summer days walking through the woods on his properties in East Hampton and, later, upstate New York. He caught bluefish off Montauk and treated his family to many delicious meals at Gosman’s Dock, they wrote.

    Stanley Errol Snadowsky was born on May 28, 1942, in Brooklyn to Jacob Snadowsky and the former Florence Drucker. He grew up in Brooklyn’s Flatbush neighborhood and graduated from Stuyvesant High School and Hunter College, both in Manhattan, in 1960 and 1964, respectively, and from Brooklyn Law School in 1967. While still in law school, he and Allan Pepper, his longtime business partner and lifelong friend, began promoting concerts at New York venues including Gerde’s Folk City, Steve Paul’s the Scene, the Village Gate, and the Electric Circus.

    Mr. Snadowsky married Michelle Galpern on Aug. 5, 1968. Ms. Snadowsky, who survives, lives in Las Vegas.

    In 1967, the partners successfully lobbied John Lindsey, the mayor of New York City, to declare a Jazz Day, and in the same year were responsible for the first jazz performance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium. Mr. Snadowsky was also the first manager and lawyer of Kiss, the theatrical rock ’n’ roll group that later found worldwide fame. In 1971, he produced “Dance of Death,” a Broadway play that starred Rip Torn and Viveca Lindfors.

    In 1974, Mr. Snadowsky and Mr. Pepper took over the building at the corner of West Fourth and Mercer Streets, which had previously been occupied by a jazz club, and opened the 400-seat Bottom Line. Over the course of the venue’s 30-year run, Mr. Snadowsky and Mr. Pepper presented innumerable legendary artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Van Morrison, Miles Davis, Joan Baez, Dizzy Gillespie, Lou Reed, Prince, the Police, and Suzanne Vega. On the club’s opening night, Dr. John, Stevie Wonder, and Johnny Winter jammed in front of a capacity audience that included Mick Jagger and Carly Simon.

    In the club’s later years, it hosted a popular annual concert, “Downtown Messiah,” in the weeks before Christmas. But the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack and an economic recession caused a decline in business, and New York University, which owned the building, evicted the venue as part of a significant expansion of its footprint in Greenwich Village. The club closed in 2004.

    In addition to his wife, Mr. Snadowsky is survived by his daughters Leslie, of New Orleans, and Daria, of Las Vegas. He is also survived by a brother, Alvin Snadowsky, of New York City.

    Mr. Snadowsky was buried on Feb. 27 following a service at Palm Mortuary-Northwest in Las Vegas, Cantor Philip Goldstein of Congregation Ner Tamid officiating. His family has established the Stanley E. Snadowsky Wound Care Memorial Fund to promote research and provide specialized doctors, nurses, and treatments for diabetes. Donations can be made at the Web site main.diabetes.org/goto/snadowsky.

    Elfriede Field, whose first job after emigrating from Germany in 1954 was assembling watches at the Bulova factory in Sag Harbor, died at home in East Hampton on Friday of complications of heart disease. She was 80.

    Mrs. Field met and married Russell Field of East Hampton shortly after the end of the war in Germany, where he was stationed as an Army policeman.

    “They were married three times,” her son, Russell Field Jr. of East Hampton, said. “The first time in a German church because it was the law, then in an Army chapel, and when they came here they were married again.”

    He said he came directly to East Hampton with his mother and father when he was 4. His mother found work as a waitress in addition to her job at Bulova and being a homemaker. She was a wonderful cook, who specialized in dishes from the old country such as wiener schnitzel, weisswurst, and sauerbraten, he said, and a gardener, who specialized in flowers, especially roses. She had opened her home here as a foster parent to 10 children over the years. Her husband died before her.

    She was born in Landshut, Germany, on Feb. 5, 1933, a daughter of Anton Kiembock and the former Franziska Huber.    In addition to her son, Mrs. Field is survived by a brother, Bernhard Kiembock of East Hampton.
