Always willing to help..He is the only one I would trust as a baby sitter...at 86 was sharp as a tack. (wish I was) Gonna miss those jokes of his.

Elbert was known as "Pops" on the golf course and always had a pocket full of candy. He would give you a piece of candy and then tell you a joke. My favorite one was "The two ladies sitting at the bus stop" one lady said I've sat here so long my behind has went to sleep. The other lady said yes I know, I heard it snore a minute a go.
