Our deepest sympathy. May God Bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Gary & Joanne Jira ( Atlanta, Ga)

Elmer was a PlayhouseSquare RedCoat Volunteer since 1994 and served as a Head Usher since 2003, giving nearly 2200 hours of his time. We appreciate his service and he will most surely be missed.

Our deepest sympathies to the entire Jira family. Wonder what mischief Dad and Mr. Jira are getting up to now? They sure don't make them like that anymore!
Sharing your loss - Carol (Tesar) & Skip Gorski

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Linda, Even though we did not personally know your Dad, we heard enough about him to know that he made a difference on this earth.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Sincerely,
