Not sure what to say?

Dear Gary & Family, how shocked I was to hear of Dad's passing! Elmer was a very kind man...always a gentleman! I'm happy to say that we shared "heart-to-heart" communication on occasion. He was very proud of his life and had no regrets. All told, I must have spent hours with him at Laurel and often every day! The workplace and our lives won't be the same without Elmer. We all tried to take care of him at least as good as you did, Gary! We loved him, too! Respectfully, in mourning..David Horner, Mutuels Teller at Laurel Racetrack.
