Earl Jr.,
What a loss!!! However, he left a wonderful son here for us. I don't know what I would of done without your soothing words when I lost my son. You never once let on that Mr. Elam was sick. You were a Godsend to me. Your dad has left a legacy here. We will never forget the photo studio that dates back to when Hinesville was actually SMALL.
From my household, we will keep you and your family in our prayers. Mr. Elam has gone to Heaven to take pictures of my son now.

Earl and Angie,
our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Earl, your dad, took pictures, I think, of most everybody who went to school at B.I. for 30-40 years. He touched many, many lives and was one of the kindest men I have ever known. Carolyn and I are with you.

Jimmy and Carolyn Darsey.

Dear Sandy and Ed, and family,
There seems to be nothing that will ever take the place of losing someone so dear. That you have a lifetime of incredible memories stored speaks to the very real importance of carefully creating memories today for future recall. May God grant you peace in your hearts as you keep alive every cherished and loving thought available because of the amazing life of your Dad. Praying that you will be comforted abundantly within the arms of our faithful Lord Jesus....

Mrs. Elam, Earl Jr., and Sandra,

I was sadden to hear about Mr. Elam's death. He played a great part in shaping my life. He was first my boss, then mentor and friend. He taught me photography and that determined my future. We spent many happy years working together at Fort Stewart. He was a wonderful person! Sadly, I won't be able to attend his memorial service because of a family reunion in Mo. My thoughts and prayers will be with all of you!
