When George Simpson moved to Southampton, N.Y. in 1996, the real estate market was behind the times. Most real estate agencies on the south and north forks were using written card catalogs to list each property for sale and rent. A few of the bigger agencies had limited computerized listing systems in black and white, where they couldn’t give buyers the information they needed without a paper cutter cutting off owner information. George saw the need to fix the problems and he developed a new real estate software listing system. Agents and brokers all over the North Fork and South Fork used his listing system and it transformed the way they operated their businesses. He supported his software and all of the real estate agencies with computer repair services. He also provided a service company that reported monthly real estate data transfers of houses and vacant land.
George was not an alien to innovation. George got his bachelors of science in mechanical engineering from Cornell University in 1961 and started his career as a space scientist for NASA at Lewis Research Center and was also a Project Manager on SERT-II, the first orbital test of ion engines. He left NASA to work for Union Carbide before he began his career as an inventor.
Beginning in 1968, George created the first commercial word processing service bureau and invented the first word processor with a screen. He designed the original word processing products for Wang, Digital Equipment Corp., Xerox and many others. He produced and promoted hundreds of publications, seminars and training programs all over the U.S. and Europe, including “The Word Processing Report,” “Word Processing and the American Office” and three yearly sections in Time Magazine on word processing office automation.
George holds many patents in the U.S. and in foreign countries in the fields of electrostatic displays, memory and switching technology. George was the inventor of “ink projecting typewriter ribbon,” a non-impact laser printing technology and the founder and CEO of Micro-Curl Display Technologies for flat panel monitor technology.
Last but not least, George spent years working for God uncovering hidden meanings in words of the English language. The language that he uncovered, “ET Corn Gods Language,” was based on logic and mathematics. George was contacted and told that he had been chosen to break the code and teach the world the hidden language.
George R. Simpson died peacefully at Hamptons Center for Rehabilitation on April 2, 2019, in Southampton, N.Y., at the age of 81.
George is survived by his wife, Jean Simpson; son George R. Simpson Jr. from first wife, Bige; son Alex Simpson from second wife, Julie; daughter Stephanie Simpson; daughter Charlotte Simpson; brother Robert Simpson; and his five grandkids: Melissa Simpson, Shae Simpson, Alison Fagan, Austin Simpson and Stevenson Fagan. He is preceded in death by his father, Oscar Strother Simpson; his mother, Cordelia Simpson; and his brothers Oscar Strother Simpson Jr. and John Simpson.
George was born Sept. 25, 1937, in Houston, Texas, to Oscar Strother Simpson and Cordelia Simpson. He graduated from Cornell University in 1961 with a degree in mechanical engineering. He married Jean Simpson, on Sept. 9, 1973, in Southampton.
His family and friends know George to be loving, funny, supportive, and stubborn and everyone who knows him will miss him dearly. He has touched the lives of everyone who knew him. The family will have a small private gathering with family and friends.

Carol Jane (Geddes, Gurin) Coakley of Southold, N.Y., formerly of Upper Montclair, N.J., passed away peacefully April 10, 2019, from primary progressive aphasia/dementia in Danvers, Mass., where she had been living in memory care for the past year.
Born Aug. 5, 1940, in Philadelphia, Pa., to her parents, Thomas and Katherine (Lois) Geddes, Carol grew up in Upper Darby, Pa. and graduated from Upper Darby High School.
Carol worked for many years as both a secretary and legal secretary and lived in many different states during her lifetime, including Hawaii. After falling in love with the East End of Long Island, she and her second husband, Edward, along with her daughter and son-in-law, were the founders and owners of the North Fork Bagel Cafe in Mattituck, N.Y. A successful endeavor, they eventually sold the business which continues on today. For her next act, Carol became a licensed real estate broker and property manager.
Carol was an incomparable storyteller. Everyone who knew and loved her can recall many hilarious Carol tales. An avid reader, Carol could often be found devouring several books at one time. She was happiest, however, out in nature. A skilled gardener and passionate birder, Carol was always outside. She ran the New York City Marathon in 1980 and enjoyed daily walks throughout her life. An active member of the North Fork Audubon Society, Carol cared deeply about protecting the environment. A fabulous cook, Carol appreciated a great meal — especially if it included bacon and could be washed down with an ice-cold beer! However, spoiling her beloved grandchildren and pets brought her the most joy of all.
She leaves behind her husband, Edward Coakley; her daughter and son-in-law Amy and Alan Hertz; grandchildren Jack and Kate Hertz of Marblehead, Mass.; her son and daughter-in-law, Hugh and Phoebe Gurin of San Francisco, Calif.; her stepchildren and their children Ken and Mickey Coakley (Corinne and Cate), Andrew and Kim Coakley, Kim Coakley DeBoyace (Jack, McKenna, Wyatt, Allison); her sisters Joan Geddes and Gwendolyn Lowe; three nieces; two nephews; and grand-nieces and nephews.
She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
Special thanks to the kind and caring staff at Seasons of Danvers and Care Dimensions.

Bruce Christopher Carr, 66, of Stratford, Conn., died peacefully April 14, 2019, at Bridgeport Hospital with his beloved husband, Harold Watson, at his side. He had fought a valiant, brave struggle against cancer.
Bruce Carr was an extremely socially responsible activist, working on gay, women’s and human rights all his life. He was a pioneer in the fight against the AIDS epidemic. He was active in the Democratic Party and a member of the Stratford Democratic Town Committee.
Bruce was born Aug. 6, 1952, in Cambridge, Mass. He spent most of his youth in Massachusetts and received his B.A. from Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass. After college, Bruce moved to Manhattan and became a sought-after copy editor. He served as the copy chief of Scientific American magazine from 1977 to 1982, creating its style book and copy flow, then moved to Time Inc. in 1983, where much of his career took place. In 1983 he worked on the ill-fated venture TV-Cable Week, the first digitally edited and produced magazine, and, after its demise, on Time magazine, where he was a highly respected copy editor and later copy coordinator for three decades.
At Time, in addition to his work as a copy editor, Bruce supervised the copy desk, updated the Time style book and fact-checked stories, as well as producing and correcting pages and beta-testing new software for the magazine. With Kelly Knauer, he produced a series of books under Time’s brand on dozens of issues, which were widely popular.
In the late 1980s through the 1990s, Bruce copy edited books for Alfred A. Knopf, among them Nicholas Negroponte’s “Being Digital,” Charles C. Mann and Mark L. Plummer’s “The Aspirin Wars,” Jonathan Weiner’s “The Beak of the Finch” (1995 Pulitzer Prize) and Meryle Secrest’s “Frank Lloyd Wright, A Biography.”
Bruce met his lifelong love, Harold Doane Watson, in 1981. In 1992 they became registered domestic partners in New York City and they exchanged marriage vows in Connecticut on Dec. 5, 2018. Together they lived a happy and incredibly fortunate life in Manhattan and Orient Point, N.Y. After Bruce retired from Time, and Harold from his second career as an English and theater teacher in New York Public Schools of the South Bronx, they moved to Stratford, Conn.
To his friends worldwide, who are legion, Bruce was a prince and a gentleman. He was a brilliant and unfailingly kind man, generous with his time and effort, honest, straightforward, funny, devoted, graceful. He was a supporter of the arts, particularly photography, and assisted many young artists, particularly female, in their careers; some of his collection has been donated to the Yale University Art Gallery. He was beautiful inside and out. As a friend wrote, “We shall not see his like again.”
He is survived by his husband, Harold Watson; his mother-in-law, Betty Lou Crossland; his brothers, John and Charles Carr; and by sisters and brothers from Harold’s family; as well as many beloved nieces and nephews on both sides of the family.
Bruce was predeceased by his parents, Charles and Virginia (Powers) Carr, and by his father-in-law, James A. (“Pop”) Clawson.
A memorial service for Bruce Christopher Carr will be held at Galello-Luchansky Funeral Home, 2220 Main St., Stratford, on Wednesday, April 24, 2019, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. followed by refreshments nearby from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Olde Dog Tavern, 2505 Main St. At a later date, Bruce’s ashes will be scattered privately at Race Point on Cape Cod.
