Warren Donald Schmidt

[Alan Fine]

On Monday August 31, 2020, Warren Donald Schmidt passed away peacefully at age

89 surrounded by his loving and beloved wife Ann, and his three daughters and

granddaughter by his side.

Warren was born on August 14, 1931 in Dobbs Ferry, New York to Harold and Gladys

Schmidt. He served in the Korean War in the United States Navy. He loved his country

and was a true American.

On February 11,1956, he married his true love, Ann Marie O’Connor. They moved to

Hastings-on-Hudson where together they raised three daughters: Barbara, Linda, and

Kerry. During those years, the family spent many happy summers on the Hudson River

with friends and family on Warren’s various boats. Later in life, Warren would come to

love and respect his three sons-in-law: Peter, Ron, and Brian, and adore his three

grandchildren: Matthew, RJ, and Kaitlyn.

He was a co-owner of K&S Rigging & Machinery, which was based in Yonkers, for over

25 years until he retired to Palm Coast, Florida with Ann in 1995

.

He had a passion for antique cars, restoring more than five of them, and he especially

cherished his 1928 Model A which he named “Driving Miss Daisy.” He was very active

in his local antique car club called the Crankin A’s and organized many road trips and

social events for his friends. He was also a member of the Elks Club.

Warren was very creative, and he loved making things. His beloved butterflies were

everyone’s favorite, but he also made trophies for his car club as well as countless other

items such as lamps and coffee tables. He was admired and well known for making

costumes for all special occasions and loved creating fun themed events for his friends.

He was known for his quick and wicked sense of humor, incredible memory, and his

compassion and generosity.

Warren was preceded in death by his father Harold, his mother Gladys, and his

brothers: Harold, Stephen, and Peter. He is survived by his loving sister Evelyn and his

younger siblings: Laura and Bob.

There will be a service to celebrate his life on Saturday September 5, 2020 at Clymer

Funeral Home from 10:00-11:00 am in Palm Coast, Florida.
