I always enjoyed having Pastor Elly as pulpit supply during our transition. His love of God was evident in the way he lived his life. He always had an easy smile and quick wit. He will be greatly missed.
Thank you for sharing him with us.
My prayers are with you and your family.

I have many happy memories of times with Ron - as well as the rest of the family - at Synod School and other places. There were many things to appreciate about Ron, but most of all I think was what a caring person he was. Ellen, Beth, Julie and Laura - sorry I can't be there but will pause to think of you all on Friday. And surely if there is a nose flute serenade, he will be smiling down from heaven!

I was a friend of Rev. Elly and knew him for a good 25 years. He was a wonderful man and helped many people, including me, with their life struggles. He did so much, in so many groups, and in so many ways. He loved people and he loved God. I am very saddened to hear of his death but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt he is in heaven in God's loving arms. I will miss him, many people who walked into his life will miss but above all his wife and family loved him and will miss him with all...
