I'm so sorry for your loss. Elmer used to eat lunch everyday down at Fish OF Stroh and he always brought a smile in with him, along with many stories we would love to hear. I thought of him often and will miss him much.

Uncle Elmer had the biggest heart.

He would do anything for anybody.

But he was also a force to be reckoned with if you got into trouble...how many times did we hear..."don't tell Elmer!!!!"

He will be missed!

Life won't be the same without him!

To Elmer's Family;



So very sorry to hear of Elmer's passing.



I lived 2 blocks east of Elmer growing up and went to CCHS with him.We got drafted together and I will never forget that day because as we stood in line to take the oath,the Soldier in charge said"Is there anyone here that thinks they should not be? Elmer said yes.He said what is the reason.Elmer said I only have one eye.He said "You're IN"--Shortly after he got out.But I reminded him of that day while we were in church one day in about 1997

and told him I now have only one eye.



The Wunderlin Family on Jefferson Street was the best.
