Flagler Beach, FL formerly Cornwall, NY
Edward “Chick” Elmes, 68 years old, of Flagler Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully on October 14, 2022, in Hospice. The oldest son of the late Mary Elmes, Chick spent his formative years in Yonkers, N.Y. and attended Salesian High School and attended Mercy College.
Chick loved anything where an engine was involved. Hobbies included riding his Harley, Boss Hoss or V-8 Choppers. He enjoyed snowmobiling, boating and loved the old car shows. His favorite pastime was waxing his vehicles. He was very knowledgeable in many areas, but his expertise was automotive.
Prior to Retirement, he worked as a Fleet Manager for Verizon for 25 yrs. And in the past was the proud owner of “Chick’s” Exxon in Newburgh, N.Y. and Storm King Auto Repair in Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y and at one time a member of the Cornwall Yacht Club.
Chick married Barbara in 2016 and moved to Flagler Beach, Florida, just north of Daytona beach where Chick loved the Bike Week Festivities. He enjoyed Biketoberfest, Lake George and Myrtle Beach Bike Weeks. He was hardworking, thoughtful and devoted to his wife Barbara. He was a generous husband, father and friend to many that have become our extended family. He was a loving father to Nichole Steffens (Mike), and Brian and stepfather to Courtney and Brian.
He is also survived by his brothers, Kenneth (Fran) of Hopewell Junction, N.Y., Kevin (Judy) of Orange, Connecticut, and Christopher (Susan) of Putnam Valley, N.Y., his grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. And of course, his dear friends that have become family to us all.
