I KNEW ELMO MAYBE AS WELL AS ANYONE. WE WORKED TOGETHER, PLAYED TOGETHER, WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL AT PHILLIPS TOGETHER. FEW PEOPLE KNOWS THAT ELMO'S FATHER WAS THE PERSON THAT DID THE WHISTLING IN A COUPLE OF MOVIES "HIGH AND MIGHTY" AND THE OTHER THAT I CANNOT REMEMBER AT THIS TIME.

A mentor and friend indeed. Many years ago, Elmo taught me to (1) meet with each customer without forming any preconceived notions. (2) Listen to the owner or operator, they know their machine better than I ever will. (3) Check the easy things first! Still holds true today. Please know that my prayers are with each of you.
