Elvis here it is April and I was ready for new glasses so I went out to NAS/FW to get them. In talking to the girl there I casually asked if anyone ever heard from you. She told Mom and I about your passing. Words can not express the sorrow Mom and I feel. You were always so nice to Mom when she use to bring in alllllll glasses for you to tighten up. You took the time and care with every customer. Now for 1 Elvis story...Just before he left NAS/FW they had a fire in the BX, the power was toatly out...boy was it HOT!! and theres Elvis waiting on customers with a flashlight. Now that was customer service. He and I laughed about that day till he left. To his Family, be assured there is a Angel swinging from a cloud watching and smiling down upon all. MB and Pat

Elvis is so missed here at Luck Optical..No matter what was on my mind, he would say, "There goes that girl with that pretty smile." and I couldn't help but smile. He was such a great guy and my heart goes out to his family. I will forever keep you in my prayers.

Elvis was larger than life; he could always make you laugh and the smile that was on his face was contagious. He had a great sense of humor and always had a story to tell. It's been years since I have seen Elvis, but I have often thought of him and always wished him well. He will be truly missed.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Elvis had a smile that could light up a room. He loved God, his family and friends. If you knew him, you know he loved his music. He enjoyed to sing and was very talented. He could be very "goofy" and loved to have fun. I feel blessed to have known him and will cherish the good memories.

Though I only knew Elvis a short time, he always made me smile. Every day I worked with him he was sure to cheer me with a joke or good conversation. I will miss his smile and his friendship.

Dear Nicholson Family am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Back in the late 70's I knew Elvis from his brother Troy. He was always having a good time, fun to hang out with, and always had great love for his family. My heart goes out to all of you while you are grieving. May God take all of you in and hold your hands through the pain. Cindi Horbelt
