Mr. Gill, who also was a prominent advocate for architectural preservation and other visual arts, was 83. He was a celebrated member of that nearly extinct cultural species, the man of letters.

Starting in 1936, when he was hired by Harold Ross as a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine, Mr. Gill's literary range came to encompass poetry, fiction, reporting, biography, social history, and criticism in the fields of books, film, theater and architecture. He also was a man of action, a tireless and articulate campaigner for historic preservation, architectural excellence and the quality of city life. In his "Skyline" columns for The New Yorker, which ran for a decade beginning in 1987, Mr. Gill combined his literary and activist roles.

One of the few writers to have worked for The New Yorker under all four of its editors, Mr. Gill helped to polish and maintain the magazine's glossy tone of informed sophistication. His writing could, at times, sound dandyish. In one "Skyline" column, he lambasted the developers of the many high-rise condominiums built in the 1980s in Manhattan on the piquish grounds that neither he nor his friends knew anyone who actually lived in the buildings. In several books, such as his biographies of Cole Porter and Tallulah Bankhead, and his book on the summer houses of the rich, he peered into the lives and homes of glamorous people.

The stylishness of his literary persona was deceptive. He was a man about town in more than the usual sense. The variety of subjects he wrote about represented the wide range of topics in which a cosmopolite might reasonably take an interest. His distinctive prose, similarly, represented the voice of the archetypal urban sophisticate: worldly, ironic, informed by knowledge but not visibly burdened by it. Mr.

Gill was born in 1914 in Hartford, and graduated from Yale College in 1936. He joined The New Yorker later that year. In addition to his work for the magazine, he wrote 15 books, including a biography of Charles Lindbergh; "A New York Life," a collection of profiles; "Late Bloomers," a study of men and women who fulfilled their creative potential relatively late in life; and "Here at The New Yorker," his best-selling 1975 book about the Four-term mayor of Scottsdale ASSOCIATED PRESS SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Drinkwater, former four-term mayor oversaw Scottsdale's transformation from a sleepy village to a posh resort destination, died of cancer Sunday at age 61. Nicknamed "Mr.

Scottsdale," Mr. Drinkwater had spent nearly three decades in local government as a commissioner, councilman and mayor (1980-96). Scottsdale's population and boundaries more than doubled during his mayoralty. Known for his salt-and-pepper beard and Stetson hat, Mr. Drinkwater was credited with defining the city's character and helping lure the Mayo Clinic and luxury resorts.

"In many ways, Mayor Drinkwater was Scottsdale," said Sam Campana, the current mayor. "He looked like, sounded like and dressed like he was mayor of the 'West's Most Western "I tried to keep a list of the people who would ask about him, and it just became futile. He was just loved by so many." STAMPANATO Carmen J. Stampanato, of Chicago, retired 5th District Chicago Police Officer, U.S. Navy Veteran of WWII.

Weinstein Family Services Wilmette Chapel, 847-256-5700 Brendan Gill in 1990 magazine. He was chairman of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and a vice president of the American Academy of Arts and: Letters.

Mr. Gill's interest in architecture, planning and preservationwas the natural extension of his. urbane outlook. A former chairman of the Municipal Art Society, he was best known for his successful campaign to preserve Grand Central Terminal. In the late 1960s and early '70s, the Penn Central, the station's owner, challenged the constitutionality of the New York City landmark-preservation laws that protected historic structures.

Together with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, whose support he had enlisted, Mr. Gill held a televised news conference to announce the Municipal Art Society's determination to fight the challenge. The group's campaign brought wide public attention to the threatened status of Grand Central and other landmarks. Mr. Gill was neither conservative 1 nor prim.

A passionate civil libertarian, Mr. Gill was less offended by the porn theaters and sex shops of Times Square than by the prudishness of those determined to stamp them out. In 1988, the Municipal Art Society established an annual Brendan Gill Prize, awarded to an architect, artist, writer or musician whose work celebrated urban life. In 1985, Mr. Gill expanded his interest in architecture internationally when he became the secretary of the jury for the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the highest honor in its field.

Mr. Gill's style is sustained at length in "Many Masks," his 1987 biography of Frank Lloyd Wright, who he knew personally. Herb Drinkwater KENNING The owner of a home-construction business and of a liquor store, he was elected to the City Council in 1970, telling voters he would safeguard the small-town character. Scottsdale grew and merged with Phoenix, but Mr. Drinkwater's home phone number was always in the book.

His family moved from upstate New York to Scottsdale when he was 7 on the advice of doctors. As a child, he had suffered from asthma and rheumatic fever, and he credited Arizona's climate with saving his life. TISHER Helen L. Tisher, of Westmont, beloved mother of Becky Ballard and Joan (Spencer) LeRoy, grandmother of Barbara, Brenda, Kristen, Jennifer and Stefanie; great-grandmother of two. Visitation 4 to 9 p.m..
