There are those that within 5 minutes of meeting them, you know the caliber of human being that is in front of you. Elmer was certainly a good and godly man. Always able to share a good story, he never new how he would make my day with stories of his past. From his war-time to railroad and beyond, I take the liberty of sharing with my children and grandchildren those stories. I always begin the same way.........."I know a man who........" . Over the more than 30 years that I knew him, he was never loud, crass or rude. Always the gentleman.
See you when I get there, Elmer-san. Pat Colburn
