Anthony A. Remkus
Anthony A. Remkus of East Hampton died on November 29, with his family by his side at Stony Brook Hospital. He was 67.
He grew up in Sag Harbor and helped his father run their family fishing station on the west side of the Sag Harbor bridge.
He graduated from Pierson High School in 1974, and soon joined the Coast Guard, serving from 1974 to 1978. He received the National Defense Service Medal and Coast Guard Good Conduct Award. He spent most of his time in the Coast Guard in Japan and Maryland, where he worked on a buoy tender servicing channel markers in major inlets.
After his time in the service, he spent 34 years working for Pulver Gas as a bulk delivery driver servicing Montauk.
His passions were motorcycles and spending time with his boys tinkering and riding on their bikes. His passion for motorcycles started with his first motorcycle, a red 1971 Honda SL350 and that passion never wavered. He loved Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and could tell you just about anything you could ever want to know about them. He shared his passion with his wife and his sons, and his favorite rides were the ones they did as a family.
He is survived by his wife of 22 years, Selena; two children, Joseph Remkus of Sag Harbor and Michael Remkus of Breinigsville, Pennsylvania; as well as his brother, James Remkus, and sister, Claudia Jacobs, both of Sag Harbor.
