It was a pleasure working for Dr. Elson. I was a nurse in his office for several years. He was a great Dr.in every sense of the word. His patients missed him a great deal when he retired.

My condolences to your whole family! I was Norm's secretary for 18 years. He was a wonderful Doctor, boss and friend. His patients loved him and still ask about him.

How sad it was to read of Norman passing away. May his family find comfort in knowing that God is near to the broken hearted and those crushed in spirit he saves. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.
