Elmer Apple Jr.

Elmer and Ferne lived across the street from me as I grew up at 4218 Rosewood Avenue. Amazing family! I babysat Shelley, Cindy and Beaver at an early age. I so admired Ferne as a real go-getter in the early 50's. Elmer reminded me of Rock Hudson in those years so I was totally in awe. Rosewood Avenue was an idyllic place for all of us to grow up. He lived a wonderful life admired by all. My DaD got transferred with UniRoyal in the early 60's to Atlanta, but I will always remember...

My condolences to the family of a wonderful and entertaining man. I had the good fortune of working with Elmer for several years at Aetna Steel and was there until the sad closure of that business. Was a great company and once again a great man was Mr. Apple.

To Steve and family, I met you`re dad in 1977 when I started working at SJCC. He welcomed me to the club and was a very nice person. I am sorry for you`re loss and he will be missed.

Dear Cindy and family, I only had the pleasure of being with your Dad and Mom a few times. On one of their visits to Princeton they included me in a lovely lunch at Mediterra. Your Dad was a superb host regaling us with stories of his youth and those of his childrens' teenage years. I felt an instant fondness towards both of your parents- they exuded such kindness and a wonderful zest for life. Your Dad discovered that I was the daughter of a marine and that like him we both shared a...

Beaver, I just saw the notice of your dad passing. I will never forget the personality and humor he had and the special way he interacted with us neighborhood kids. He truly was a neat man and we respected him greatly. I'm not sure I ever beat him at ping pong or any other sport for that matter. And, I never ever minded that he called me "Cheatwood."
We know you will cherish your memories of him and we will pray for your family in this difficult time.
