We were very saddened to learn of Elmo's passing. He was a gentle giant, an amazing storyteller and a wonderful person. We regret not getting by to see him in the last couple of years but we thought about him often and fondly. Our sincere condolences to the family for your loss. May his memory be cherished in the years ahead. RIP sweet man.
