I`m sorry to hear that Elmer has passed away. I golfed with him in the Badger Creek Seniors league. Always enjoyed his friendship on and off the course. He will be missed by many. Again, my deepest sympathy.

I am so sorry to hear of Elmer's passing. Please accept my sincere sympathies. Elmer touched many people's lives. I first started taking my kids to his barber shop in Kiel when they were little and took them there for their haircuts for years. He was such a good barber and loved kids. Always gave them a treat and had a way with making them smile. He will never be forgotten. He was a very good listener to the young as well as the older people. Thanks to Elmer for all the wonderful haircuts and good memories. God's peace be with all.

Roseann, I offer you my deepest sympathy at this time of earthly separation from Elmer. As Christian believers, we know we never really see each other for the last time. During this Holy Week, we give extra thanks for what Jesus did for us...for Elmer. Because of Easter, we know you will see Elmer again!
