Elmer was a truly remarkable person. My condolences to Elmer's family and friends.
Elmer was such a nice man. He will be greatly missed. I am sorry I will be unable to attend the service as I am recuperating from leg surgery. Delores, I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Jean Senecal
Such a special person. Uncle Elmer could light up the room with his friendly smile and energetic personality. I will cherish the memories I have of him, and he will remain in my heart forever.
Much love to Aunt Dolores and my cousins during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Know that we all grieve for the loss of an honored veteran. It is our privilege to perform Military Funeral Honors for our fallen brother. Rest in peace, sir, and thank you for your service to our country.
Deepest sympathy for your loss. May many good memories warm your heart.
Dolly and Family,
We have very fond memories of Elmer going back to almost 50 years ago when my family visited and Bernie would just 'happen' to be staying at his uncle's nearby. Elmer had such a great personality and warm smile that we know he will be missed by many. Our prayers are with you.

I am very saddened to hear of Elmer's death. He was my neighbor for many years. I always enjoyed talking with Elmer, a genuinely good-hearted person. He had the "country mentality" as of a rancher or farmer, self-reliant, helpful, and just plain neighborly as we all should be. My condolences to his family. - Ric
I have such great memories of Elmer, his laughter and smile always filled the room and the hearts of all that were around him
I met Elmer and Dolores when I went to the Holy Land with them in 1990 and that was the beginning of a friendship that I will treasure for all of my life.
Know that you were a true blessing to me and a true example of commitment, with your faith, 65 years of marriage and your family.
You will be missed Elmer, thanks for being a part of my life's journey
I love you.
