Wayne F. Galbraith

Wayne Galbraith, a master carpenter, died of cancer on May 21 at home in East Hampton. He was 62.

A graduate of Sag Harbor’s Pierson High School, Mr. Galbraith worked for many years with Brian Mannix of Mannix Custom Builders, and enjoyed using his woodworking skills away from work as well.

He was born in Ridgewood, N.J., on April 6, 1955, to the former Ruth Virginia Cole and Clayton Stuart Galbraith, neither of whom survives. With Deborah L. King of Sag Harbor, he had two daughters, Ivory King and Kelly King, both of East Hampton. Ms. King and their daughters survive, as do two brothers, Stephen Galbraith of Canton, Ohio, and Douglas Galbraith of East Setauket, and one granddaughter.

Mr. Galbraith was a keen gardener, trail walker, and camper. He very much enjoyed training his dogs, Ms. King said. Weekends, she said, “were always set aside for fishing with his friend Ron Remkus of Sag Harbor.”

The family received visitors on the evening of May 24 at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton. Mr. Galbraith was cremated, and his ashes will be buried at Oakland Cemetery in Sag Harbor.

Memorial donations have been suggested to East End Hospice, P.O. Box 1048, Westhampton Beach 11978.
