William “Bill” Velys, 69, a lifelong Riverhead resident, passed away peacefully Thursday, April 7, 2022, following a brief illness.

Born in 1952 to Michael and Thelma Velys, Bill had an idyllic childhood that included horseback riding, wrestling, Scouting and lots of boating and water skiing.

Bill had a love of boating from an early age. His grandfather got him his first self-assembled boat when he was 4 years old. From that time on, he was never far from the water. Later, Bill would become a boating captain and take out fishing and party charters to Block Island. Bill was licensed, at different times in his life, as a sea captain, pilot and realtor. Bill spent his entire life on the Peconic Bay and knew every sandbar, tide table and species of fish. He was the kind of fisherman who could make his own lure, catch his own bait, come home with a bounty and then cook a feast. Between hunting, fishing and gardening, Bill lived well off the land and sea. Even when he could no longer go out on the boat, friends would call him to find out the best fishing spots, and Bill would rattle off the GPS coordinates for where the fish were and when they had to go, and don’t be late, because, as Bill would say, “time and tide wait for no one.”

Bill lived his life by the motto, “Work Hard, Play Harder.” As a child, after school he would run to R&M, the family business (now Revco), because he was paid hourly and he knew he could earn more if he arrived at work faster. Bill would take that hustle into his own career. In the 1980s and ’90s, Bill transformed hundreds of Eastern Long Island businesses by installing energy efficient light bulbs and reflectors in stores and medical centers. Though he worked for himself, there were many years that he was the top salesperson in the nation for some lighting manufacturers, and even though he wasn’t an employee, he made President’s Club several times and enjoyed some nice vacations, including to Hawaii for him and his wife as a result. Later, he pursued a career in sales. He always maintained his work-life balance, working hard enough to support his family and lifestyle, but making sure he always had the bulk of the summer off for boating trips, and weekends in the winter for skiing, and hunting, when in season. Outside of boating, skiing and hunting, Bill enjoyed baseball (go Yankees), nature shows, gardening, news, his grandkids and engaging friends in spirited political debate. Bill was patriotic and loved his country and his hometown. Though he probably wouldn’t have used this word to describe himself, he was also a conservationist and good steward of his local environment; he never littered, always took care to conserve water and electricity, was into composting, recycled, invested in solar energy, and made sure his fishing bounties never went to waste.

Bill came to know and trust Jesus in the latter part of his life, a blessing his family is so grateful for. He is survived by the love of his life, Suzanne, his wife of 45 years; his daughters, Kristina (Jim) Adams of Virginia, and Lia (Rich) Kulesa, sisters Anna (Jerry) Saba of California and Stacey (Walter) Moran of Florida, and brother Michael (Cathy), his mother, Thelma, of Florida, 5 grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and many, many friends.

A memorial visitation will be held at McLaughlin Heppner Funeral Home in Riverhead Tuesday, April 12, from 4 to 8 p.m. A memorial funeral service will be held at McLaughlin Heppner Wednesday, April 13, at 11 a.m.

John “Jack” Peters of Laurel died peacefully at home surrounded by his family on Sunday, April 3, 2022. He was 88.

Jack was born on Aug. 7, 1933, in Brooklyn, N.Y., to Dorothea (née Hunter) and Lawrence H. Peters. He had an older sister, Joan, and a younger brother, Bobby. After high school, he joined the United States Air Force and served during the Korean Conflict from 1952 to 1956. After his service, he returned to New York earning his bachelor’s degree from St. Francis College in Brooklyn.

On June 25, 1960, in Uniondale, N.Y., he married the love of his life, Eileen Hale. They first met in Breezy Point only a few months prior; it was love at first sight. Together they had seven children and lived a loud, busy, happy life in Massapequa, N.Y. Eventually they would retire to their home in Laurel, the gathering point for their children, the “outlaws”, and many grandchildren for the last 25 years. Laurel remains crowded with love.

Jack was a spiritual man with a deep religious faith. He and Eileen were members of Teams of Our Lady for over 50 years, and of Our Lady of Good Counsel R.C. Church since retiring to their beloved North Fork.

Jack made friends wherever he went; in church, of course, his neighbors obviously, at work: as a truck diver, a lifeguard, a bouncer and bodyguard in Miami (before meeting Eileen), and as a father; he was a salesman for Ashland Oil, based out of New Jersey, earning the admiration and respect of all he worked with. Jack loved the outdoors, in his early years running and playing in the streets of Brooklyn, summers spent at Camp Waconda and later Breezy Point. He and Eileen took their family camping; his children like to joke that they’ve been to every KOA campground and Civil War Battlefield on the East Coast. Perhaps Jack’s favorite outdoor space, though, was the beach. He loved packing the kids up and heading down to the bay; spending hours with family and friends in and on the water. On the water, pulling legions of squealing children on skis or tubes behind his boat; or flying across Peconic Bay, preferably after a storm on his catamaran, appropriately named FUNFORALL. Jack was all about having fun, was the first and last on the dance floor, always had a joke to share, a huge smile on his face, loved to sing loudly, albeit not very well. He was larger than life.

Throughout his life, Jack Peters had a significant impact on others. There was always an extra seat at the dinner table for anyone who wished to join, a bed for someone who needed a place to sleep, a shoulder to cry on. Jack was known for sharing advice, warranted and unwarranted, to those who asked or needed to hear it. He always had someone in his right hand, much like God always had Jack in His. He was first and foremost a loving husband to his precious “Myleen,” a compassionate father, a terrific Pop pop, and a loyal friend. Everyone knew that they could count on Jack Peters. While we will all miss him immensely, we all count ourselves blessed to have shared in the love and light that Jack brought to all. We will remember him with happy tears and a smile.

Predeceased by his parents, his siblings, Robert Peters and Joan Peters Egan, and his daughter Eileen Margaret, he is survived by his wife, Eileen; children Mary Jo Orr (George), Lawrence Peters (Helen), Nancy Fitzpatrick (Gerard), Claire Pawlak (Robert), Sean Peters (Natalie), Kathleen Peters and Carol Giangrande, and grandchildren George and Grace Orr, Caroline, Patrick, Owen, Margaret, Quinn, Gavin and Scarlet Peters, John, Charlie, Christina and Claire Compitello, Laura, Elizabeth and Abigail Pawlak, Helena, Shannon and Anja Peters, Erin and Alyson Fitzpatrick, Samantha Brodowski, Dana Hergenroeather.

The family welcomed friends April 6 at the DeFriest-Grattan Funeral Home in Mattituck. The Liturgy of Christian Burial was celebrated April 7 at Our Lady of Good Counsel R.C. Church in Mattituck, officiated by Father Peter Garry. The Rite of Committal was private.

Victor Berthold (Vic), owner/operator of Designated Driver LLC and resident of Broad Creek, N.C., died Sunday, April 3, 2022, at the age of 75 due to health-related complications; he was three days shy of his 76th birthday.

Victor was preceded in death by his parents, Roy Victor Berthold and Ethel (Smith) of New York; and dearly loved ex-wife Elizabeth Anne Berthold of Indiana.

Vic was born in Jamaica, Queens, N.Y., on April 6, 1946. He graduated from Woodhull Prep and continued his education to receive a Bachelor of Science in business administration from Nichols College.

Vic often talked about his summers in Riverhead, N.Y. at his family’s cottage. He made many fond memories and lifelong friends from the area. Vic was a man of many trades; he has worked in real estate and owned a hotel in the heart of downtown Indianapolis. He has lived and traveled all throughout the United States.

Though Vic lived a full life, he was most proud of his sons and their children. He was a loving father and grandfather (known as Pop-pop). He could often be found at any of the local buffets with his family enjoying the day. And if you needed a deal, he could find it!

Vic was one of the most kind and caring people you could ever meet. He would go above and beyond to help the people around him that were in need. You could tell him your troubles and he would always find a way to make you feel better.
