Winston Ryan was a graduate of the New York State Maritime Academy and served in the US Navy during the Korean conflict. He was the beloved father of Brooke Byrd and Clifford Ryan; loving brother of Nancy Rain and Mary Krepela. Four grandchildren and one great-grandchild also survive him. A graveside service was held on Friday, Jan. 3, at Nassau Knolls Cemetery in Port Washington.

Sara Klainberg, age 97, died on December 28, 2002, in Manhasset. She lived a full life and will be sorely missed by her two children, seven grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren.

Katherine Rempe Jenkins Perkinson was a lifelong resident of Manhasset. Her mother, Susan Dietz Rempe was brought up on the Dietz farm, where St. Mary's School stands now. Her father, Jack Rempe, was the Payson's chauffeur. When they built the house on Andrew Street in 1917 it was on the edge of town and cost them $1,800.

Katherine grew up in that house, went to St. Mary's grade school and was in the first graduating class from the "new" Manhasset High School named Plandome Road School. Her nephew Charles Jenkins as park commissioner changed the school into Manhasset Park. After high school she went to Katherine Gibbs secretarial school and worked at the Manhasset Bay Yacht Club.

Katherine was a passionate bridge player. She met her match when her father introduced her to James Jenkins from Port Washington. She married James, a graduate of the University of Virginia and NYU law and they had one son, Robert. Jim served in WWII and remained in the service spending the majority of his time as chief prosecuting attorney for the First Army, permanently stationed at Governor's Island.

Katherine and Jim bought the house on Andrew Street from her parents and lived there with her mother. Kay ran the Plandome Road office for her cousin and best friend, Dr. Carl Ernst. Her other best friend was her sister-in-law, Jane Jenkins who lived only a block away. What they talked about on the phone for at least an hour almost every day is still a mystery.

Jim became sick in 1959. Widowed in 1962, Kay's extended family, Carl, Jane, brother-in-law John Jenkins, his son Charles along with her cousins the Kortlander Clan in Great Neck, all pitched in and helped Kay and hr son through this difficult time. Kay was her Bob's most avid supporter and fan as he played sports at Manhasset High and in college and sailed out of Port Washington Yacht Club. She was especially proud when he graduated from West Point.

That summer in 1969, Kay married her second soul mate, Ellery Perkinson. They enjoyed 16 wonderful years together. After Ellery, a Town of North Hempstead attorney, retired from the town hall and as park commissioner in 1973, they began an active retirement. The years were spent summering in Manhasset, enjoying the fall and spring seasons in Quogue, and the winters in Stuart, Florida. Widowed again in 1985, Kay stayed in her home on Quaker Ridge Road until 1993 when she moved to a retirement community, Willow Valley, in Lancaster, PA. She was only an hour from her son, Bob, daughter Terry Treiber Jenkins and her three grandchildren, Jim, Shawn and Adam. She was able to visit often and even after some health problems in 1995, was still an active member of family activities.

During the last few years, Katherine has enjoyed a unique reality. Everyone she loved in her life was alive and well. She visited with them often. She remained happy, but maybe a little bored at times. She still played solitaire (always won), worked crossword puzzles, but her short term memory did not allow for her main recreation, bridge.

She fell, broke her arm and had a six hour surgery on Dec. 14. On the morning of the 30th she passed away. If there is a heaven, Kay is still with all her loved ones, visiting, playing bridge and will never be bored again.

She is survived by her only child, Robert, his wife Terry and three grandsons and will live in their hearts forever.

The family will have a Memorial Mass at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 18 at St. Mary's, Manhasset.

Timothy Broemmer Miller, son of Liz and Bruce Miller of Plandome, died on Nov. 5, 2002. In addition to his parents, Tim is survived by three younger brothers: Peter, 14, Tristan, 12, and Jake 7. Tim was a grandson of Katie and William Miller and Ann and Brian Jennings, and the great-grandson of Lillian Miller, all of Manhasset.

On Oct. 28 Tim, who had life-long food allergies and asthma, suffered a sudden severe allergic reaction to food he had eaten. He collapsed and was rushed to North Shore Hospital where he never regained consciousness. He died peacefully with his parents at his side eight days later.

Tim, a junior at Manhasset High School, was affable and well-liked by students and faculty. He played rugby and lacrosse, and rowed for the crew team. Classmates remember Tim as a fiercely loyal, and often mischievous, friend with a great sense of humor. Teachers and coaches recall a polite, maturing student and athlete; a pleasure to work with and someone who seemed to be just coming into his own.

Tim spent his summers at Hedges Lake, in Washington County, NY. There, he also had a group of wonderful friends, and spent much of his time waterskiing, swimming and playing golf. His "Lake Friends" also attested to his intense loyalty, great sense of humor and mischievous nature.

Tim was the first of 10 Miller grandchildren and the first of 19 grandchildren for the Jennings. Tim's gentle nature and playfulness was a joy to the many cousins who looked up to him.

A funeral Mass was held Nov. 9 at St. Mary's Church. The Rev. Dr. Peter Le Jacq, a Manhasset native, presided over a moving tribute to a brief yet happy life that touched many in unforgettable ways. His girlfriend and friends spoke of his life, and some of his closest friends served as his pallbearers.

The Millers have requested that donations in Tim's memory be made to the Rev. Dr. Peter LeJacq/Bugando Hospital at Maryknoll Fathers & Brothers, PO Box 302, Maryknoll, NY 10545-0302. "Father Peter," a continuing source of strength to the Miller family during this time, is a Missionary Priest MD. Funds raised in Tim's memory are being used to open a medical school in Tanzania attached to the Bugando Hospital. Father Peter is spearheading the effort.
