His kindness was palpable and unconditional. Very much like Jim Crockett at Bean's Cafe.

Elgin ask us, The Fairview Community Council board members, if he could have backing to set up The Kids Kitchen. I voted yes, and later got an article written about him, and had The Kids Kitchen put on Ch.2. TV for him.
He loved his work, he was a lucky man.
Our deep sympathy to all who miss him.
With Love, Mary Dee Wheaton & son William Piers

I volunteered with Elgin years ago when Kids Kitchen was at Northeast Community Center. I am sorry I was unable to attend the memorial today. R.I.P.

Elgin was a man who made a difference. He had dreams and fulfilled many of them. He loved to organize and promote events that lifted up people in the community. He, of course, loved the children he fed everyday. Elgin was a man who touched the world with the concept, "Yes, we matter, because we can make a difference." He did. I'm going to miss him. He lived a full life and kept on living till the very end. He never stopped or slowed down. His spirit was always young. He didn't believe in dying; he believed in living. He did. And he loved to rub shoulders with everyone else who believed the same thing. Let's live. Let's make a difference to the people who matter the most. To him it was the children, who needed a father figure as well as a meal. He was a great example of what one can do with nothing but your will and your ideas. I loved Elgin. He's a hero for Anchorage. He's remembered by many.

Elgin was a long time friend of mine. He was a joy to cook with and his love for the children was always utmost and foremost in his mind. He cared for them as if they were his own and he will be missed by one and all. He selflessly gave his life for the children and every time they called him "Grandpa" his whole face would light up. I was blessed to know him. Sleep well old friend.
