Elmer was an amazing man. So kind, thoughtful, helpful, very hard-working, and funny! I bought the house across the street from him 7 years ago and I would have never survived without his constant assistance and support. He mowed my lawn, gathered and disposed of my leaves each fall, helped me decorate for the holidays, brought me my mail daily, jumped my car twice and my tractor once. He took me in his truck to pick up furniture several times and always had doggie treats in his pocket for his daily visits with them. The most special thing he did for me was dig up a baby tree that I planted in my front yard but could not keep alive, and he planted me a new one, while I was at work. I am so grateful that I will always be able to look at that tree as it grows over the years and think of my buddy who I will always treasure.
