Not sure what to say?

What a man.....always interesting....I enjoyed hearing his stories about the Navy, tours of duty, the discovery of atomic tests via the antarctic snow. From a Geiger counter used outdoors and in the 'mess-hall' --- radiation levels were off the charts from snow-melt from workers boots/thawing snow. I'll miss those conversations!
We have each and every "Custead" on our minds, in our hearts and in our prayers. May God Bless You Each....Keep You In His Comfort...and Bless Your Lives All...

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

As hard as it is not having him here anymore, I hope he has been reunited with family & friends that have gone before him and that you all are filled with the peace you are searching for. We are praying for you all.

With Love,
Sarah, Chris and family

I never knew Elmer Custead but work for his son Bill Custead @ Anchor Construction. I can tell by his son Bill that he was a wonderful man. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Custead Family.

Mr. Custead, you were like my Dad away from home (Lima-Peru), I enjoyed all our talks especially the political ones and will surely miss you. Happy travels into eternity and I am sure you are hanging out with my Dad up in heaven.

i dont believe to have ever met you , but you can see by the outpouring of love from your children , you were a great father !

Dad, We will always miss you and I know you are safe and sound. Let there always piece and solitude in heaven. I'll see you again one day. Love you from your 6th child, Paul, his loving wife Andrea and his four great sons, Tyler, Bryce, Aaron and Kevin.

Dad, enjoy fair winds and following seas. We love you.

I am happy you are at peace Dad. Enjoy heaven (are there beautiful angels there? and gardens?) Was that you who sent snow on Christmas Eve? I love and miss you.
