JB also leaves behind many family members; cousins, aunts, and uncles and many friends that he loved so much.

JB was born on January 23rd, 1985 at 12:35am at Southampton hospital. He was raised in our family home in Westhampton, NY; Where many loving memories were created and shared amongst his family and friends. JB loved his father as he showed it everyday. He always cherished his mothers memory and was an amazing, caring and loving devoted brother, son, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend.

JB worked for both of his fathers’ businesses. He always took great pride and dedication whether it was moving furniture or tending to the limousines. He always showed immense dedication in all that he did. JB was always known as the dependable one, the one who his father could always count on. It was seen and known by all. JB would always go above and beyond and give nothing but his best work in all that he did. He truly gave a white glove service in both jobs that is not always seen today.

JB was a deep and sensitive guy. He had such a huge heart and an amazing sense of humor. He loved his family and friends with everything he had. He was an incredible Uncle that spent countless moments connecting to his niece and nephew by always making sure he was present in their lives, although it was shorter then expected.

JB cherished his love of nature, animals, and small things in life. He knew how to be present each day to the small things for he understood how truly grand those moments are. JB embraced all life’s precious moments and held them near and dear to his heart.

JB was a rare soul, one that was generous, smart and kind. So full of smiles, laughter, always doing great deeds, and always there to help. JB gave the greatest hugs, so full of love and comfort. Nothing nor no one could ever replace the amazing soul that he was. Jb was loved by everyone and will truly be missed. He had such a fun spirit and his infectious smile charmed everyone who met him.

JB loved to play all sports, as well as, watch sports especially his favorite football team the Los Angeles Rams. He cherished every moment in life. As well as always making sure his family 
had everything they needed. His kindness, generosity, strength, determined nature, thoughtfulness and being an all around great guy are just some of the ways he showed what an amazing person he was.

JB’s strength and courage will always be remembered, as well as his will to fight till the very end. Although taken too soon, he is now at peace and no longer in pain. His spirit lives on, forever more, in our hearts and minds.

A beautiful service was held earlier this month, Family and friends gathered in remembrance. JB was laid to rest on September 3rd, 2022 at the Westhampton Cemetery, where family and friends gathered and said their final farewells. Thank you to everyone for their love and support.

No More Deals

I am writing in opposition to the proposed residential project on the site of the Dockers restaurant on Dune Road in East Quogue [“East Quogue Residents, Environmental Advocates Condemn Condo Proposal at Dockers Site,” 27east.com, November 8]. As I understand it, the project requires a zoning change from one nonconforming use to another. I have lived in the town long enough to remember that when a nonconforming use was exhausted, the site had to revert to a conforming use. No more exceptions, no more deals — simply adhere to the existing zoning. I believe this continued movement to disregard existing ... by Staff Writer

Thankful, and Not

Thanksgiving is synonymous with harvest. Reaping what you have sown, you walk across the threshold of the field, your machete idle but ready to swing, to neatly lob off a head of broccoli. The level of satisfaction is hard to replicate in layman’s terms, somewhere between basketball’s slam dunk and capturing the flag. Harvest is what gave us some primordial ease, that the dark, cold months will not be hungry ones. The ancient discovery that successful agriculture could offer its practitioners self-reliance — to a degree — is what set us on the path to discovering other things, like gratefulness. ... by Marilee Foster

The “tyranny” is as follows: First, it’s complete and utter ecosystem destruction. Next comes the turf grass, along with trees and shrubs from other parts of the world that need life support to live here. Next, it’s the pesticides, the water use, the emissions, and then that damned life-ruining noise of the !+@%”*#*^*! “Infernal Gadgets” [Letters, November 13] — leaf blowers! Why?
