Elmer married Glenna Burl.  He retired from Motor Wheel Lansing, Michigan.  Elmer enjoyed helping others in need and working on projects.  He loved snowbirding with Glenna in AZ and living there with Sher.  One of his favorite things was getting in the truck in the morning with no special place in mind and enjoying the day until the sun went down.  Elmer enjoyed watching the farmer’s fields.  He became very bonded with Indy, Sher’s Siamese cat.  He was always very active, loved to socialize, put puzzles together, and he loved animals.
