Elwyn was a proud veteran of the U.S. Navy and a 30-year employee of Monroe #1 BOCES. He will forever be remembered as a devoted and loving husband, father, grandfather, and brother.
The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff of Rochester Regional Health Hospice Care and to the staff and caregivers at Shepherd Home for their support, compassion, and kindness.
Honoring Elwyn’s wishes, there will be no calling hours. The family will gather for a celebration of his life, with interment and private service to take place at Webster Union Cemetery. Please consider making a donation in Elwyn’s name to Shepherd Home, 1959 Five Mile Line Rd., Penfield, NY 14526.
I worked with Elwyn at B.O.C.E.S. back in the late 80’s. He was one of my most favorite people there. I liked to tease him in good friend and he would get red and smile. I left to move to Chicago. When I did,we had a big luncheon at a restaurant, I asked specially to have Elwyn to sit right next to me. I never saw him after that but still think of him as a very nice, handsome, easy going guy. May he rest in peace.
Dear Wendi and family,
Our sincere sympathies on the passing of El.
Always enjoyed our occasional encounters in the neighborhood.
May warm memories grant you some peace and comfort at this difficult time.
Most sincerely,
Steve and Melinda Gaudioso

We acknowledge and are truly grateful for his service to our country.
Sadly I just became aware of Elwyn’s passing. We worked together on the LPGA Pro Am events. I couldn’t have done it without him. He was a wonderful man.
