| Carl Robert Skeris September 21, 2024 |
| Carl Robert Skeris, 90, died peacefully on September 12th, 2024 in Westhampton, NY, surrounded by his family. Carl
was born on March 21st, 1934 in Rockville Center, NY, the first of three sons born to Gustave and Adelaide Skeris. He
spent his childhood in Lynbrook, NY, graduating from Lynbrook High School and from SUNY Farmingdale before
joining the US Army. He served his country stationed at White Sands, NM and Washington, DC working in surveying
and communications, before starting a long career in the construction business. For many years, Carl was a
dedicated employee for Hendrickson Brothers as well as Guy Pratt and also founding Skeris Enterprises. Carl's work
in the construction business spanned from work on roads and bridges to custom home building, but no project was
more important to him than the home in Remsenburg that he built to raise his family in.
On August 10, 1958, Carl married the love of his life, Margaret Craw. Together, they had five children, who they
raised in Lynbrook and Remsenburg, NY. Carl was a protective father, a strong leader with a soft heart. He was
happiest outdoors, often found riding his tractor, chopping wood, or in his workshed, and had a passion for skiing,
especially at Okemo, VT, where he taught his children and grandchildren to ski as toddlers. He was a lifetime charter
member of the Westhampton Yacht Squadron, where he served on the board and ultimately as Commodore. He
would spend hours at a time on the bay, boating and sailing, and meticulously cared for his boat. Above all else, Carl
loved his family. He was a loving and devoted husband to Marge, and a dedicated dad to his five kids as well as a
father figure to many more. To many, "Uncle Carl" was a go-to person if there was an emergency, if you needed
advice, a listening ear, or if you needed someone to fix the door that fell off the hinges. He loved taking his grandkids
on boat rides and rides in his truck, where he'd tell them stories of building bridges and serving in the Army. He
appreciated the value of a routine, waking up at the same time every day to eat grapefruit and Raisin Bran and
rounding out every evening with crackers and cheddar cheese with a cold beer, and a nap to the news in his recliner.
Carl and Marge were members of Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church for many years.
Carl was an active member of the communities in which he lived. In his early years, he volunteered with the Tally-Ho
Fire Company in Lynbrook, and served as Captain. Later, he was a member of the Remsenburg Speonk School
board, where he served for 15 years in many capacities, including Vice President and President. Carl was a long
standing board member at the Westhampton Yacht Squadron and served as Commodore, as well as on the Race
Committee. Carl was generous with his time and talents and could always be counted on by anyone who needed his
assistance.
He will be greatly missed by his wife of 66 years, Marge, his children, Russell (Fran), Ginny (Bob), Karen (Jack), and
Jeffrey (Molly), his grandchildren, Carl (Alicia), Heidi, Lindsay, Margaret, Julia, Sarah, Grace, and Thomas, his great
granddaughter, Rose, and many cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, his
brothers, Fred and Peter, and his daughter, Victoria.
Services to honor Carl's life will take place at Werner Rothwell Funeral Home in Westhampton Beach, NY. A visitation
and prayer service will be held on Saturday, September 21st from 2:00-4:00 and a visitation on Sunday, September
22nd, from 10:00-12:00.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Westhampton Yacht Squadron Memorial Fund in Carl's name.

| Maeve Burke Shugrue May 1, 2024 |
| MAEVE BURKE SHUGRUE, 65, of Southampton, NY died unexpectedly April 18, 2024. Devoted and adored mother of J. Edward "Ned" and his wife Laura Buck, Charles G. and Justin P. Shugrue, who survive her. Maeve was the beloved daughter of Eileen Mayer Burke and Joseph J. Burke. Born in New York, NY on January 28, 1959. She was predeceased by her parents; most recently by her dearest 95 year-old mother, just a month prior. She was also predeceased by her husband J. Edward "Ted" Shugrue in 2012. The sixth of nine children, Maeve is survived by her heartbroken eight siblings and their families: Joseph J. Burke (Kristena Prater) of Aspen CO, Cathleen Mason (Thomas) of Locust Valley NY, Eileen Giotis (James) of Howell NJ, Jamesine Burke Clark of Ridgewood NJ, Maureen (David Jaffe) of Eastport NY, James J. Burke (Joan Goodman) of Long Beach NY, Justin J. Burke (Gretchen Mueller) of Carmel CA, and Deirdre Burke Dentel of Eastport NY. Maeve will also be greatly missed by her close-knit extended family of 22 nieces and nephews and 13 grandnieces and nephews, with whom she had special connections and frequent interactions. Our family particularly grieves that Maeve will never get to hold her first grandchild who is expected in June and whom she was very excited to meet! Maeve's early years were spent in Muttontown, NY and summered in Long Beach, NY, where she acquired a life-long love of the ocean and the beach. In her teenage years, the family moved to Yaphank, NY. She attended high school at both Mercy in Riverhead and Longwood in Middle Island. Maeve met her husband Ted in the professional world where she worked as a publicist in the entertainment industry. As a young couple, they had a whirl-wind romance. They travelled frequently to Europe, attending the Cannes Film Festival and various other industry events annually. They would soon marry in a ceremony in the Chapel of the Choir at the Vatican in Rome, honeymoon in Positano with a reception to follow on the East River in New York City upon their return. Needless to say, with Ted, Maeve lived an exciting life! Originally based in New York City, where Ned was born, they relocated to Pacific Palisades, CA for Ted's work. During those years, they spent summers in Southampton, NY. This gave the entire Burke family incentive to gather on eastern Long Island annually to be together. Eventually, these family get-togethers became known as Burkefest; a long weekend celebration that continues to this day. In 1999, the now family of five, with Charlie and Justin having been born in LA, would return to New York full-time, taking up residence in Rye, NY. During these years, Maeve was the consummate wife, mother and hostess. She had a great eye for beautiful things and design, she loved to cook and was talented at it. She loved to host the extended family for holidays and the milestone celebrations of baptisms, holy communions, confirmations, graduations and birthdays. These were happy days. However, when Ted died, 12 years ago, life would change radically for Maeve and her boys. She then dedicated herself, even more so, to parenting single-handedly these young teens. During this time there were a number of moves until Maeve eventually decided to return to Southampton by the sea where so much happiness had been lived. Yet again, Maeve created a beautiful home for her sons to flourish and a special place where family could gather. We are heartened that Maeve got to see the boys transform into the fine, hard- working, industrious, educated and successful young men they have become. Maeve was their "rock", mother, mentor, cheerleader, confidante and counselor. She loved them unconditionally and was so proud! As a sibling, she was special, kind and compassionate, with a keen sense of humor, and so much grace. She would light up a room when she entered. We are so grateful, in particular, for the love, care and work Maeve took on in being the primary caregiver to our recently-deceased Mother. Maeve's life has not only impacted our family; wherever Maeve went she created deep and loyal friendships and had the gift of keeping those relationships long term. Our loss of Maeve in our lives is devastating. She will live in our hearts forever.
Maeve cared deeply about the less fortunate and those struggling to get by, particularly in areas of tremendous affluence. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that a donation be made in their mother's name to:
