Elmer was our family dentist in the 50's and 60's and several years after that I had the good fortune of playing golf with Elmer on a regular basis along with Judge John Connor and Bill Wickes. He was always a gentleman, fun to be with and he had such a wonderful sense of humor!

Dr. Cox was my dentist from my early childhood in the 50's until he retired, and so I spent many hours in his chair. His gentle touch, his wit and sense of humor made it more like visiting a friend. He was the best. My thoughts, prayers, and sincere sympathy.
