Michael Maroni, the chef of a popular Italian eatery in Northport who was planning to open a second location in Southold, died unexpectedly Friday, according to Suffolk County police. He was 57.

Mr. Maroni suffered an apparent medical event while swimming in an indoor pool at his Northport home, police said. Northport Village police responded to the home at approximately 10 p.m. Thursday and he was transported to Huntington Hospital where he was pronounced dead Friday, police said.

Suffolk County Police Homicide Squad is investigating the death, police said.

Mr. Maroni and his wife Maria were planning to open a new location at the former Jeni’s Main Street Grill this spring. Jeni’s had moved earlier this year to the former Six Three One space in Southold.

In an interview with northforker in December, Ms. Maroni said: “We really want to serve the year-round community and we see a need for it here.”

The couple had purchased the Main Road building about five years ago.

“We live out here and this has been a dream of ours to bring what we do to the place that we love,” Ms. Maroni had said. “We are here to serve the community.”

The couple also owns a Southold home and their plan to was transition full-time to the North Fork when the new restaurant opened, Ms. Maroni had said.

They also had purchased a building from the Southold Historical Society at 54127 Main Road that was formally known as the Reichert Family Center. The sale was completed last September. The historical society had owned it since 2011.

Maroni Cuisine in Northport is famous for its Hot Pots and gourmet meatballs. A description on the restaurant’s website says “Michael Maroni is a self taught chef who is passionate, down to earth and spirited. … Maronis is more than a meal: it is an adventure that you will want to partake in again and again.”

The front window of the Northport restaurant describes it as, “Northport’s smallest restaurant.” The couple opened it in 2001.

Mr. Maroni received recognition in 2007 when he appeared on “Throwdown with Bobby Flay,” a show that appeared on Food Network. During the episode, Mr. Maroni credits his famous meatballs to his grandmother. In the show, Mr. Flay tries to replicate the meatball recipe to match Mr. Maroni. In the end, Mr. Maroni emerged victorious.

A Newsday review of Maroni Cuisine published in 2016 described the restaurant as “a rabbit hole of a restaurant, unlike any on Long Island.”

Antoinette “Toni” DeMeo passed away peacefully Feb. 27, just days before her 96th birthday.

She had many roles, including dedicated wife, mom, grandma, businesswoman and volunteer. She loved her community and always wanted to help others.

Toni was woman ahead of her time in so many ways as a feminist, a super achiever and the valedictorian of her high school class. She strongly believed in education and had a desire to go to college to become a doctor. Despite her drive, her family could not afford to send her to school.

In typical fashion, Toni went to the local parish priest and asked him for a scholarship, which funded her time in a pre-med program at the College of Mount Saint Vincent. One year later, World War II was approaching and she was unable to continue due to family obligations. She eventually completed her studies to become a certified financial planner, though not finishing college was the great regret of her life.

In 1946 Toni met the love of her life on a blind date and married him only three months later. Her marriage to Roy E. DeMeo lasted nearly 70 years. They remained much in love until the very end. The couple lived in Franklin Square, Long Island, where they raised two children, Peri and Roy Jr.

Together, Toni and Roy started Island Visuals, a visual graphics business where he did the creative work and she ran the business. They spent 15 years boating the Long Island bays with family and friends. In 1981 they bought a home in Cutchogue and moved there permanently in 1986.

Toni reluctantly retired and vowed that she needed something to do with her time. Her retirement began her remarkable full-time career as a volunteer. For 31 years, or 23,000 volunteer hours, she served in the auxiliary of Eastern Long Island Hospital, eventually becoming the chairperson of Volunteer Services. She was the recipient of the Theodore Roosevelt Award and, in 2012, was named a Woman of Distinction by the New York State Senate for her volunteer services. She was considered the “mom” of the hospital and reluctantly retired at 95.

Toni was warm, quietly funny, very smart, blunt (one never had to guess what she was thinking!) and quick with a joke or a hug. She made a mean apple pie, made friends easily, was extremely generous and loved to be the boss. She was loved by her many friends, her community, her family and especially her grandchildren.

Visitors will be received Saturday, March 16, from 2 to 5 p.m. at Coster-Heppner Funeral Home in Cutchogue. Religious services will be held at 2:15 p.m.

He moved to New York shortly after to complete his training at Bellevue Hospital and became a board-certified internist and cardiologist. Charles went on to work at New York Life Insurance Company for three decades, retiring in 2001 as a senior vice president.

Throughout his life, Charles was relentlessly curious, taking a passionate interest in a variety of subjects, from politics to languages and travel. He also always loved living in New York City and took full advantage of all it had to offer, from running the Central Park Loop on weekends to discovering new restaurants in neighborhoods far from his Upper East Side home.

In 2010, Charles and Marie-Louise relocated from Manhattan to Southold, N.Y., where they enjoyed the slower pace and beauty of the North Fork with their Yorkshire terriers, book club friends and visiting family.

Charles was preceded in death by his mother, father and three sisters. He is survived by his wife, Marie-Louise Stringfellow; children Philip Stringfellow, Monique Stringfellow (Jeffrey Giermek) and Nicole Stringfellow; and grandchildren Everett Stringfellow Giermek and Conrad Stringfellow Giermek.

Sylvia Holtzberg died March 9, 2019, at the age of 95.

She had resided at Peconic Landing in Greenport for 17 years. Her keen intelligence and political diplomacy earned her high respect from those who came to know her. Sylvia was truly treasured in this community. Indeed, she served as a mentor to more than a few.

Cathy Lynne Pearce passed away Sunday, Jan. 20, 2019, at her Fredericksburg, Va., home with her family and loved ones by her side. She was 59.Cathy bravely battled a brain tumor for over 25 months until she could fight no more.
Cathy was born to Millicent and Austin Tuthill on Dec. 30, 1959, in Mattituck, Long Island, N.Y.

She graduated from Mattituck High School, where she played first-chair flute/piccolo in the school’s orchestra. Soon thereafter, Cathy began study in the field of special education at the State University of New York at Geneseo, where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in 1982. Following graduation, Cathy accepted a position in the Virginia Beach area, where she continued in the field of teaching developmentally disabled students.

A tireless advocate of those less fortunate, she was active in a number of charities and civic organizations such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Special Olympics of Virginia.

Following marriage, Cathy’s family relocated to the Fredericksburg area, where she again taught those in need of special education.

Earning her master’s degree from George Washington University during her final years in Virginia Beach enabled Cathy to transition to school administration, where she served as an assistant principal at Widewater Elementary School. Although she loved providing her managerial skills to broader issues, it was the classroom where her heart longed to return, so she elected to return to the classroom and teach once more. Her final teaching position was at Park Ridge Elementary School in North Stafford before she was forced to retire because of the tumor.

Cathy is survived by her adult children, Joseph Pearce and Emily Pearce. She is also survived by her mother, Millicent Dickerson; her brother, Richard Tuthill; her sister, Nancy de Regt; and her partner, Edmund Flores.
