Elmer went no where without his beloved dogs, Moo and Luna, Dick the cat stayed at home. He loved camping and four wheeling at Woodland Lake with his family, the bigger the bonfire the better! Collecting antiques was a favorite hobby, Old beer cans, old bicycles and tricycles to fix up for the kids, coins and Hotwheels, which he keep in the original package, just to name a few. Most of all he liked hanging out with friends and family, especially his grand-babies. Every year he would take them for a ride on the tractor yelling, “All aboard”
These were the joys of his simple, loving life. He will be missed.
In the words of Elmer, “Uh…I don’t know”

Heartfelt condolences to Tracy and his girls. Haven’t seen him in a long time and was shocked to find out from my dad today. Of all days on fathers day that he passed last year. He isn’t forgotten by any means. He was a wonderful person and always instilled a sense of adventure in my life from a very young age. Be it camping to four wheeling probably one of the main reasons my parents survived my crazy teenage years. Those like Elmer giving me the ability to explore and get out in nature to blow off energy. He will be missed for sure. Wishing his loved ones a happy fathers day from Stavanger, Norway.
