Not sure what to say?

Sharon and Bruce are dear friends of mine and I had the honor to participate in Elwin's care on several occasions when he was at Memorial. He was so sweet and interested in the people around him and he always had a great smile. I know this is a sad loss for the family and you are all in my prayers.

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Elwin will be missed by our family. Once Bruce and Sharon (our daughter) were married, he became an extended part of our family as well. We enjoyed our visits at family parties with Elwin.

He very much lived the motto of, "Say what you need to, agree to disagree, then everyone go out and have a burger together".

I have been blessed to have had him in my life, and consider it an honor to have been able to serve him in any need. His heart was full of love, his mind full...
