My deepest sympathy to Doris, Byron and Odette and Dan and Bria.I have many memories of Elmer from church and picnics and his driving of the church bus. I know he will be missed by more than just your family. I hope to be able to make the service but it depends on if I can get a ride.

Elmer helped me out with my first listing at John L. Scott about 13 years ago. He was so willing to help out a young newbie and did it with a smile! He was always so happy and encouraging.. I am sorry for your loss, you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Take care- Noel Pauley
