Legacy

A loving and funny man, Elmer dedicated his life to his family.  He loved to be the center of attention, was a wonderful story and joke teller and lived to talk and laugh.  Elmer proudly served our country in the US Army,​ as a Medic during the Korean Conflict. He was a hard working man, at times working 3 jobs to support his family. He began working at the age of 8 in a drugstore, then moved on to a stock boy at S.S.Kresges, until he found his talent as a diesel mechanic. He worked for MACK Trucks for 45years.  Elmer was always willing to help those in need.  He loved his house and working around the yard, was a terrific bowler, loved to dance, especially the Jitter Bug, and enjoyed time with his family.  A kind and loving soul among us, Elmer will be missed deeply.
