Dear Tanya, Debbie, Chris and Eric,

We just learned of Elmer's passing. Our thoughts are with you all. All of my Uncles were great, but Uncle Elmer was special. He was always so filled with laughter and kindness (except if you ever trumped his ace in one of the many euchre games!).

It was so clear when around Elmer that he was a loving Husband and a wonderful Father. He will be missed I know.

When my Dad passed four years ago, it was so good to see all of you that could attend. I recall how daper Elmer was dressed and once again there was always that warm smile.

My Mother, David, Larry, and myself are sorry we could not be there with you or have acknowledged your loss sooner.

Uncle Albert wrote my daughter Beth the other day about this so please understand our tardiness in sending our condolences to all of you.

God bless you, Tim Hudak

Eric, Chris, Debbie and Tanya
I was sorry to hear about the passing of your father. I will always have many fond memories of your mother and him. They made me feel like one of the family. Some of the most enjoyable card games I ever had were playing euchre with Elmer, Eric and Pauline's brothers.
May we all live such a long and happy life as your dad.
God Bless.

Tanya, Chris, Debbie and Eric:
I just want to send you my condolences on the loss of your dad. I still can remember those great vacations at Lake Erie (the cabins are still there!). I was young but I have good memories of the Friday fish dinner, swimming, the beach, the arcade, the dance hall and Uncle Elmer snoring!
I know that Uncle Elmer, Aunt Susie and my dad are having so much fun right now, I bet if we listen quietly, we can hear them laughing and talking...loudly!

Dear Chris and Debbie,

My deepest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your Father. Our parents are now no longer with us, and it is so very hard without them. Just know they will always be with you in your heart forever. The wonderful memories and good times will help you. My thoughts and prayers to both of you.

I was greatly saddened to hear of Uncle Elmer's passing.He (as was Aunt Pauline) was a sweet soul who will be greatly missed. Elmer lived and loved life, always had a smile or a laugh. You'd better play euchre well with Elmer or you'd end up at the "Crumbonie Table". Loved summer visits to the Schoch's, where the food, libations, and love flowed freely, and where I first heard the hilarious expression for a hand full of bad cards-- "Bat Crap!" Love you Elmer! God speed.

He was my favorite Uncle. He was always funny! Great memories of cook-outs, their cool basement, Aunt Pauline's sundae cups, and that painful card game called knuckles.

Most of you (cousins) I have never met but I wanted to send my condolences to you and to say I was saddened to hear of Uncle Elmer's passing. Although it's been many years since I last saw him, I have very fond memories of him that will stay with me. I remember him being a funny and very kind man. I don't remember ever being able to play Euchre with him (as I was too young) but I do remember a few of the family Euchre parties and he always took some time out to spend with me. If you have ever been to a Hudak family Euchre fest you know how difficult it can be to step away from the table (hahaha). Anyway, I just wanted you to know how sorry I am for your loss and to let you know about another life he touched.

I don't know what to say, except I lost my ONLY Brother-in-Law, whom I truly loved. Elmer and I had many good times together. At Myrtyl Beach several years, we had a ball playing golf and observing Em try to get Tony Lattimer to not use brand new golf balls across the water, but he should trade that new ball for an old one, since Elmer was sure he would hit it in the water. No way would Tony trade, and proceeded to knock it into the water. Elmer got sick at this. He was a very nice man and had a great sense of humor. We partered together at Euchre when we were at Myrtle Beach and truly had a lot of fun. He was a great man and led a good life, although as a widower the last 18 years. He is now with his wife, Pauline. You children of Elmer and Pauline be strong in your faith and love each other. As BABA would say stay close and love each other. God Bless You All. Much love and prayers for Elmer and his family. Love, Uncle Al and Aunt Irene
