Not sure what to say?

Dad, it's been two long weeks since you left our earthly plane; your spirit and soul took flight into heaven accompanied by a large choir of angels. I hope grandpa and grandma were waiting at heavens gate along with your sweet sisters greeting your arrival with open arms. I miss you so much, our hearts are heavy, but you are in your eternal home now. One day soon, we will be reunited. Just knowing you will be waiting helps me get through the sadness and tears. I will always love you dad.

Prayers to Debbie and all of the family. You had a wonderful dad

I love you grandpa, I will miss you forever. Every now and then I will sing a song towards heaven for you.

Karen & Family:

My earliest memory of Elton was going to his pharmacy on the Piece Hwy. when I was ~ 8 y/o buying candy from his store then taking it back to "sell" (at an inflated price) at our "road-side candy store. I knew him long before I met the rest of his family, (including his lovely daughter, Sandy, who I married)and always respected him as a fantastic person and father. My deepest condolences to Karen, Sandy, Debbie, Jan, Greg,spouces and grandkids for their loss. I was blessed to have known him...
