Born on February 10, 1944, in Trenton, NJ, Elmer bravely served as a Yeoman Third-Class in the Navy from 1965 to 1970. He worked over 30 years in banking before retiring at Bank of America in 2007. Throughout his life, Elmer developed a love for projects around the house, remaining active with long bicycle rides, daily lawn care and yard work, daily WaWa coffee runs, and watching the Phillies with his beloved daughter, son-in-law, and Labrador retriever.
Elmer was preceded in death by his brother Robert.
He is survived by his loving and devoted daughter Kaitlyn Ricci (Nick) and his unborn grandchild Baby Ricci; his son Brian Wetcher (Raissa); his grandchildren Ryan, Cooper, and Sutton; his sister Barbara Anderson; and other caring family members and friends.
