I just want to say, I knew James as a teenager & thought he was a very handsome, smart, fun loving guy. He was worth knowing.

Even though I personally never had the privilege of meeting Mr. James E. Elmore I get to see on a weekly basis what his influence left behind in his daughter, Carla. She is a loving and supportive mother to her beautiful three daughters, a parenting style that I can attribute to her father and mother. May Mr. Elmore rest in peace safely in God's memory. "He is a God, not of the dead, but of the living, for they are all living to him." (Luke 20:38)

James E. Elmore, Sr., 72, Kansas City, MO, passed away on May 23, 2019.
James was born August 10, 1946 in Hot Springs, Arkansas, to the late Howard and Sylvia Elmore. In his early 20's, he moved to Missouri, settling in the Northeast area of Kansas City. After several years of running a successful car lot, he began his career with Teamsters Local Union 541, retiring in 2007 after 33 years. In his retirement years he enjoyed taking care of his grandchildren, trips to the park, and to dairy queen for $5 buck meal deals. He loved all his grandchildren and they each held a special place in his heart. Weekends were saved for visits to the casino, driving around the old neighborhood, or hanging out in the garage listening to his favorite country music while reading the newspaper. Sundays were for cracking open a “cold one” and watching a NASCAR race.
He is survived by his wife, Irene Elmore; brother, Raymond Elmore (Mary Lou); sister Susan Elmore Clenney of Hot Springs, AR; children, Ricky Elmore, Cynthia Elmore-Langer (Randy), Charles Elmore (Clara) of Phoenix, AZ, Marilyn Elmore, Carla Camacho (Chris), James Elmore Jr.;
Grandchildren, Samantha Pham (Bryan), Sarah Trinh (Vu), Andrew Langer, Brittany Elmore, Charles Elmore Jr., Brianna Ritter, Luke Elmore, Ricky Elmore Jr., Rhiannon Elmore, Isabella Camacho, Olivia Camacho, Josefina Camacho; great grandchildren, Aubree and Aiden Langer, Sophia Pham, Jayden and Lillian Trinh, and Camila Elmore. He will also be remembered by many nieces, nephews and friends.
Visitation will be 11a.m. to 2 p.m. with the Rosary at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 29, at Passantino Bros. Funeral Home, 2117 Independence Blvd., Kansas City, MO 64124. Cremation will follow the services.
