Emil Robert Lucev was born September 27, 1933 at Rockaway Beach Hospital, Beach 85th Street and Java Place, to Emil Gerald Lucev and Anna Mary Lewis. Emil Gerald Lucev was born in Prvika’Lucka, Croatia in 1905. He immigrated to the United States in 1927. He became an accomplished chef and worked in a number of large hotels in New York City. Anna Mary Lewis was born in Hoboken, New Jersey in 1911 and her family moved to the Rockaways soon after. They married in 1931 at St. Rose Roman Catholic Church in Rockaway Beach. The Lucevs had three children, Emil Robert, Anthony and Almeda.
At ten years of age Emil began work at his grandfather Mike Louis’ Arverne Hygeia Ice Company. After that he worked at Paramount Carton, Rockaway Beach Boulevard and Beach 79 Street as a finishing machine adjuster. He attended Jacob Haaren High School where he studied refrigeration. When he was drafted into the Army they sent him to refrigeration school at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. After graduating from Fort Belvoir, he became an instructor at the school.
After the Army, Emil returned to the Rockaways where he met Aldine Caroline Gartland and married her on June 29, 1959. Eventually they had four children, Michael, Emil Robert, Jr., Aldine and Katherine.
Emil returned to Paramount Carton’s finishing department and worked there until 1961 when he became a private security guard for the New York Daily News. In 1991 Emil lost his job when new owners laid-off the private security force.
In the mid 1970’s, Emil and his sons started collecting antique Rockaway bottles from Jamaica Bay. To expand on their collection, he began to research the origins of the embossed names on the bottles. This researched piqued his interest in the history of his home peninsula, beginning his career as an historian and his long association withThe Wave. He made quick friends with The Wave’s publisher Leon Locke and began visiting the Archives at Queens Library.
By the early 1980’s Emil was documenting every aspect of the peninsula, becoming the authority on Rockaway history. He eventually became the Historical Editor forThe Waveand wrote a weekly column titled “Historical Views of the Rockaways.” Many of the topics for his articles were Emil’s interests. However, many of the topics for his articles came from Rockaway residents and people who used to live on the Rockaways writing him about a Rockaways’ company, building, person, map or street.
He documented almost every historical aspect of the Rockaways, but he has strong attachment and is extremely proud of his work on the following.
|
His work researching the peninsula’s early amusement parks created byLaMarcus Adna Thompson and George C. Tilyou. Emil concludes Thompson moved hisMidway, Scenic Railway and other attractions to the Rockaways from Coney Islandbecause of President William McKinley’s assassination. |
|
In 1991, Emil became involved with the restoration and history of the CornellCemetery. He worked with Stanley Cogan, President of the Queens HistoricalSociety and Cornell Cemetery Corporation President to restore the cemetery andto designate it a New York City Landmark. He researched the history of thecemetery, the Cornell family and the land they owned. |
|
In 1986 Emil was very involved with the re-enactment of the NC-4trans-Atlantic flight, the first flight across the Atlantic. He wrote a bookletabout the history of the flight. |
|
His work putting togetherThe Wave’scentennialand 110th anniversary editions. |
|
His work writing an article “Irishtown, Rockaway” for theIrish Echo |
|
His work assisting the schools, hospitals, churches, organizations and firedepartments to document their history. |
|
His work with the Rockaway Museum. |
|
His work on the Rockaways’ Tercentennial celebration in 1985. |
|
His work on the 1986 time capsule buried at the Doughboy Monument at Beach 95Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard. |
|
His documentation of the beaches and Boardwalk during his beach and boardwalks throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. |
Emil often cites a Jamaica Bay boat trip as the motivation for making him a serious and thorough historian. During a boat trip in Jamaica Bay with many of Queens’ dignitaries, authors and politicians, Leon Locke volunteered Emil to act as the tour guide. At the end of the trip everyone was impressed by his knowledge and asked him where he went to school. He replied Jacob Haaren High School and “on the job training.” Upon hearing this, the attendees shunned him for the rest of the trip. His work on the trip did not end there. He had to help navigate the boat out of Jamaica Bay because the captain was not current with the bay’s channels. This slight spurred Emil to work even harder to document every aspect of the peninsula.
All of his work culminated into his greatest achievement, the postcard history bookThe Rockawayspublished in 2007.
