While my hometown is Tillsonburg, I met Elmer in London where we were fraternity brothers at Delta Upsilon. Even though I haven't seen him since the 1950's, I still feel he was a good friend, who loved his family and loved a good time. One instance I remember was when his first child wa born. Elmer came over to the Frat house in the afternoon and we celebrated by having a pseudo-soccer game in the living room. Elmer must have enjoyed that because later that night, when we were all asleep, he came back to the Frat house, roused us out of our beds because he wanted to have another game of soccer. He was so proud of his wife and new family member and we all joined in with his celebration.
