James Richard Elmer

Jim was always smiling and happy when I saw him. Even a year later, I know it is difficult to believe he's no longer with us. Love always.

I will never forget the night he came over to help me when a rabid raccoon had found its way between the front and screen door at my parents in Victory. I was home alone at 15 for the weekend. Jimmy to the rescue. Always willing to help. He was an Icon. So sorry to hear of this. My deepest sympathy. -hope

So very sorry for the loss of Jim.. he was such a great and loving man! He truly will be missed by so many. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this time. God sure did make one of the best an angel - all our Love Jane, Conor, Arianna and Family

So sorry to hear about, Jim.
May the great memories you hold dear, be with you always. RIP Jim.

We would like to send our sincere condolences to JJ and the family. May all the strength in the world be with you at this difficult time. Thinking of you all. Be in touch JJ.
Scott Chmieleski and Amy Bromley

RIP Jim, always enjoyed see you at the car shows. Prayers for the Family

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Remembering the dinners you so graciously invited me to - although I think it was to have a good laugh watching Zoey and Finn play together. Be safe and healthy, and God willing will see each other again.

Jim and I spent many hours with the monopoly game. Neither one of us was willing to give up until we were out of money. I enjoyed the times we spent together in Victory. I'm glad he married a sweetheart like Sally, her mom and dad and mine were really close friends, so we got to know each other over the years in Victory. May God be with you all and you mourn the loss of this wonderful man, who blessed your lives!

My email somehow signed my granddaughter's name of Brittany Jackson but it is from myself Sandy (Bonner) Miller Class of '66. My heart goes out to the family. Jim was such a happy guy, always something funny to say. He sure enjoyed our class reunions.

Sally, so sorry to hear about Jim. A funny guy with a big heart. He will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Dear Sally & family I am so sad to read of Jims passing he was a great fella. Grew up knowing Jim & his family all our lives, as well as Sally & family too. My sympathy & prayers to all of you.

We always had each others ear when we saw each other. He will be missed. Catch a big one in that golden lake in Heaven old friend. Rocky and Georgia Powers

Sally, JJ,David and Michelle:
Please know we are here for you. Lots of good memories. Kevin, Danielle and kids

Sally & Family
So sorry to hear of Jims passing. He touched so many with his giving heart and generosity as he did for us in our time of need. We will always be grateful for you both and I will never be able to duplicate his fried fish. Im sure Frank and him are planning a hunting and fishing trip together. Please find comfort in family and friends in your time of need and GOD BLESS.

Dear Sally and family, please know how truly sorry we are for the loss of Jim. We will never forget his generosity, graciousness, and friendship. He was a wonderful man and will truly be missed. Illness put a halt to their fishing trips, and it will never be the same for Tommy without him. Thank you God for the gift of memory that lets us hold him close even after he has gone to be with you! With much love and many heartfelt prayers, Tommy, Gwen, and Kenny Allen

JJ , Im so sorry for the loss of your Dad. My thoughts and prayers have been with you and your family for the last few days since I heard the news and they will continue on as well.

Sally, We are so sorry for your loss. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

So sorry for your loss , May Jim RIP.

Many A fond memory has two kindred spirits spinning yarns together while processing a farmers bounty. I am sure they are both looking down on us and swapping more stories as they play catch up.

May the pleasant memories always be easily at hand. Our deepest sympathies.

Sally I am so sorry for your loss. May Jim RIP. God Bless you and stay strong.

He will be Dearly missed.

Our sincere condolences in the loss of such a wonderful husband, father and friend. Fly high Jim! We will miss you. ❤❤

Sorry for your loss, he was a great man

You will be missed ,had many great times and conversations at Duck Lake and caught many fish. Glad I was with you when you caught your 1st Musky. RIP. No one could do a fish fry like you!!! We shared many meals and campfires. We will never forget you.

I remember Boy Scout/Cub Scout camping trips and meetings. Great memories. He was a great man, helped raise alot of young men! He will be truly missed.

Jim and I are sending our deepest sympathies to you, Sally and your family. Jim and your Jim were friends since grade school sharing many good times. Our prayers are with you at this very sad time.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

JJ I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs and prayers to you and your family.

We will all miss Him. I especially will miss his wonderful stories, gentle nature and humor.

Jimmy was a all around genuine great guy who would go above and beyond to help others. Always offering great ideas and advice on a variety of subjects. He had a sweet determined nature and will be dearly missed.

Dear Sally and family, please know how deeply saddened we are with the passing of Jim. He was a great friend and lover of all things nature. Tommy spent many an amazing day out fishing with Jim, and even with their recent illnesses that stopped their fishing trips, that was his favorite thing to do. We will always remember you with a smile, a laugh, and a need for some good cooking... even if you wouldn't give up your cole slaw recipe! We hope you are having a crab cook up there in heaven Jim and that they are letting you do all the cooking! Thank you God for the gift of memory that lets us hold him close even after he has gone to be with you. Love Tommy, Gwen, and Kenny Allen

I am saddened with the passing of Jimmy. He was a kind and generous soul. He will be deeply missed.

Our hearts are very heavy with the passing of Jim. Our memories and stories will be shared every day! Jim was not just our friend, but he was part of our family and will forever be.

Sally, so sorry for this loss. He will be truly missed. He always had a great smile. Enjoyed life as much as he body allowed. Will see you soon once this crazy time is over. Prayers to you my friend.

Dad always had the biggest smile, best laugh and the warmest hugs (next to you mom). He would help anyone with anything and always loved to feed us. He will be so missed by everyone who knew him....especially at mealtime. Fish on, Dad! ♡♡♡

Sally, I am so sorry to hear about Jim. Now he is fishing in a peaceful river. Sending love. Naomi Carraway

I am so sorry to hear that Jim has died. We were close as kids, but lost touch after we graduated from Red Creek Central. Except for HS reunions or family funerals. Jim is my second cousin, and I always got a big hug when I saw him. He was such a sweet and loving guy. Sending love and a hug. Judy Bigelow Bobrek

Sally and family, just so sorry to hear of your great loss. My heart goes out to you. Always loved reading about the hunters antics in A Hunting We Will Go booklets. Loved seeing Jim and you all at Veterans Day services in Victory!! Love to you all . ❤

Jim was a very good friend of mine. He was a good cook, story teller, and "sharer" of information about his past and a joy to fish or visit with. He will be missed.
