In Loving Memory
I don't know what to say or how to express how bad I feel for all of you, Elmer's loved-ones. I worked for Elmer at Reams in the early 90's and got the job purely by chance answering an add on the store door. It truly was a blessing. Elmer was such a great guy to hang out with and such a great boss. As you all know he was laugh riot and made the lamest of tasks like dusting off the blue tables with all the knick-knacks on the fun. I tell everyone if the subject ever comes up it was the funnest job I ever had and it was because of Elmer. He was always thoughtful and courteous and usually had that big smile on his face. He left a life-long impression on me and I will always love the guy. I know how hard this time is and I truly hope you find some comfort in knowing how he affected the lives of those around him. I fell out of touch with Elmer after I left reams and utah but he never left my heart and he'll always be there. Take care everyone..Elmer was loved and will always be missed.

We haven't met Elmers wife and children and grandchildren, but his sister Sharon is our friend and neighbor. What a shock this type of sudden death brings to the family and we're saddened for your loss. May God bless each of his beloved family members and comfort them now and ever after. The Buchanan's

Lisa, I am so sorry and shocked to hear of Elmer's passing. He was quite an inspiration for me as he endured almost a year of medical treatment for the work injury. Always had a great attitude and humor to help him along the way. Certainly a pleasure to assist. My heartfelt condolences, Lisa.
