Richard

Janis

-Richard Janis of East Hampton passed away at home on Wednesday, April 6th. He was 66. Richard was born in Brooklyn and raised in Babylon on Long Island, where he met and married Suzanne Turnbull. They moved to East Hampton in 1991, where they currently reside, and raised their three daughters Emily, Elizabeth and Meredith. A proud father of his girls, he was ever-present — coaching their little league softball teams and very rarely missing a game of the various sports they each played throughout the years. He was at his happiest skiing and spending time with his family, as well as working on the water, having been most recently the Dockmaster at the Montauk Lake Club and Marina since 2016. He was also so excited about his recent promotion to Grandfather of his first grandson, Cooper, and couldn't wait for the day Cooper "got on skis" for the first time.  He leaves behind his mother Helen Janis, brother Michael (Megan) Janis and sister Christine Janis, his wife Suzanne and their children, Emily (Emily Ruth) Janis, Elizabeth Janis and Meredith Janis, his grandchild Cooper Ruth Janis, and the beloved Janis family dog, Yogi. He was predeceased by his father Leon Robert Janis.
