My Grand Father Sellers Roy Elser Born 1935 . The Name is very uncomon we are related

Love and prayers and memories of our days at Mount Saint Ursula and CNR. Ruth Anne Cronin Thompson

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Aunt Norma and the rest of the family. Dad and the rest of us enjoyed visiting and spending time with everyone . He will be missed

Uncle John, as we called him though he was my father's cousin, was also lovingly known to us as "the other John Elser". Uncle John was an inspiration to me in my decision to become an attorney. He was a special man and holds a special place in our family. May God grant him eternal rest in His kingdom. Much love to the rest of the family.

“Uncle” John was a kind and devoted member of the Elser family - not actually the brother of our father John P Elser but we treated him as our uncle - a loyal and faithful part of many family gatherings.

Our deep condolences to all.

I will always remember Uncle John, my godfather, for his kind and gentle demeanor and the very intellectual conversations we had. It was great to learn about the Alsatian society! Dad considered him the brother he never had. Love and prayers from my family to Aunt Norma and Bernard, Elizabeth, Mara and Diana, and Aunt Rose Marie and Aunt Eleanore.

I am so sad to hear of Uncle John’s passing. My father always spoke so happily of his childhood memories growing up with “the other John Elser”
and was proud to be his lifelong friend, in addition to being cousins.

Sending so much love and support to Aunt Norma and all the kids. May he Rest In Peace and hope it was a wonderful reunion of the John Elsers.

Our love to Norma, Rose Marie and Eleanor and all our cousins. We are heartbroken. Your family was always so kind and welcoming to us. Our Dad loved his cousin so much and treasured their friendship. He will be dearly missed.
