Read MoreAs a co-op student working in the Plant 18 Engineering Labs, and later as an engineer in the same building, I can attest that Dick held a special spot in the hearts of all of us co-op students, GMI, Purdue or Tri-State.

Sending hugs and condolences to the entire Elmore Family. One of my fondest childhood memories of Dick (or Mr. Elmore as he will always be to me) was at the annual Elmore Christmas Parties. Every year about this time I think about those parties and how much fun it was to make homemade garland from popcorn and cranberries. In my memories, those parties were magical, as was Mr. Elmore.
