Elmer Kelton

Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

Rest Elmer, until you hear at dawn,
the low, clear reveille of God.

Thank you for your service to this nation.

I was introduced to Elmer Kelton's novels by a friend who knew I likeds westerns. I didn't learn of his death until several years later. I have read every one of his books I can find in the libraries here. Sorry there will be no more. My very belated sympythies to his family.

Thank you for the many hours of pleasure you given me. I have read and possess nearly all of your novels.
It is a sad day for us all with your passing. I am a retired school administrator and Montana cowboy. I could understand and relate to Elmer's language.
Thank you for the memories gained.

I greatly enjoy Mr. Kelton's books. The characters in his books reveal the good character of the man writing them. I regret never having met Mr. Kelton in person in this life, but am looking forward to doing so in the next.

To Mr. Elmer Kelton,
Who is deserving of the respect and gratitude of many others, as well as the hereby tendered ones of Mark Rabb.

The Texas Book Festival is where I first saw Elmer Kelton in person and heard him speak. There were others from West Texas with him that day and I was reminded of my own heritage. He emphasized that he had worked as a journalist most of his life while writing his novels. This was, I think, was his way of guiding developing writers in the audience. What a gift to give! He will be missed by so many.

We are all richer for Mr Kelton's writings.My sincere condolences to his family. Que vaya con Dios!

I am a distant relative to this great Author. My grand father was William White Kelton. I had just written a email to Elmer Kelton on his book Email. So very sorry about this real author passing.
