He is predeceased by parents Elizabeth Catherine (Bellisle) and John Henry Kelly; siblings Allan (Ruth), Fay (Ralph), Harry (Bernice), Leta (Al), Bob (Marion), Bert (Grace) and Maurice (Terry). He was a favorite uncle to 33 nieces and nephews, great-uncle and great-great-uncle to many. He joined the RCMP in the 50's and was stationed in Alberta, then Ottawa (HQ), retiring as S.Sgt. He was a long-time member of the Capital City Chorus (Barbershop). Elmer enjoyed cottage life and retirement in Delta, ON.

Jim Ewanovich and I played QB that season and Jim always warned me at practice: If you see Elmer coming in, go the other way !

My heart goes out to the family with the loss of Elmer. I have very fond memories of Dot, Elmer, Marilyn and Darlene and vacations to the East coast in Ossie's motorhome!
We had some great times at various events with the children of the Capital City Chorus too!

All our love!
