Dearest Kathleen and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have fond memories of Elmer and always enjoyed his company. He was a kind-hearted, soft-spoken family man and I seldom ever saw him without a smile on his face. May God give you comfort at this difficult time.

Kathleen, you are in my thoughts along with the rest of your family. Elmer was a nice person and a friend. Dennie loved working with him in the good days at the elevator. He will be missed.
