Louis

Remkus

Lou Remkus, president of The Remkus Group and life-long resident of Sag Harbor, NY, was unexpectedly called home to be with the Lord on Christmas Eve, 12/24/21, at the age of 76.

Lou was born in Southampton on March 31, 1945 to Louis and Margie Remkus. He graduated from Pierson High School, where he played baseball and basketball and where – according to his mother – he gave his teachers a run for their money. He played softball for decades after Highschool, and his daughter loved the chance to stay up late and cheer for him and his brother during double-headers at Mashashimuet Park. Lou also loved playing golf, never missed a chance to go out on the water, and was known for calling fans of competing teams to gloat whenever his Yankees or Giants took the lead.

Lou started his own Insurance and Financial Planning business in the seventies, where he, along with his partner MaryLou Hartman, faithfully served friends and clients for decades. An excellent chef, Lou enjoyed good company, fine wine, and the richest of foods. He was a devoted son, loving father, and a doting grandfather who always had a ready laugh, loved the Lord, and lived life to the fullest.

Lou is survived by his daughter, Julieann and son-in-law, Jason Brazeal as well as his granddaughters, Catheryn, Hanna, Becca, and Sara. He is predeceased by his mother, Margie and brother, Terry.

Visiting hours will be held at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home on January 7, 2022 from 5-8 PM, and there will be an 11AM service at St Andrews Church on January 8, 2022, followed by a burial and reception. Please join us to celebrate his life.
