What a delightful man. At Willow Park, he sat at the dinner table with my parents. I brought him a hamburger from Wendy's occasionally. He loved it. Joyce Coney

Elmer used to live on Fairlawn next to my deceased Mother - Inlaw Jeanette Lemmer. He was a kind and gentle man, and loved eating my chili when I made it for them to share! Peace be with you in your time of sorrow!

I will miss hearing the stories your Dad told of Evansville growing into the city it is now. Elmer saw so many wonderful inventions and changes in his life time. I never saw him without a smile on his face.
