Deepest sympathies & condolences to Elvin’s family & friends. We had the pleasure of getting to know Elvin when we moved into our house on Manor Drive in 2002. Most of the trees on our property were purchased and delivered by Elvin personally. Always pleasant and you could count on a friendly smile and wave whether passing by the nursery or seeing him in his truck. He will be missed.

Elvin was a valued friend and good neighbor who very generously shared his property and the woods with us when we needed new spots to train our dogs in field searches and obedience. We relied on his landscaping advice and his help with planting the White Pines along our driveway. Visiting with Elvin was often part of a summer afternoon. We will miss him. He was an asset in our lives and to our township. Our condolences to his family. We share your sorrow.
