We were friends in Wabash High School many years ago. He was a fun guy, and a great friend to all. We would see each other every 10 years or so in Rochester.
A good man, a great friend, I know he will be missed by many. God bless his family.

Deepest condolences for your loss. Elbert was a patron where I had worked in the past and I so enjoyed seeing him! I pray his memory shines brightly in your hearts.

Uncle Elb was ALWAYS the life of the party. Sad to think the only 1 left is Aunt Evelyn. The three of them, Evelyn, Jess & Elb had their last party living under the same roof. God Speed Uncle Elb.

I'm Cheryl (Bridegrooms) daughter, and I haven't seen Uncle Elbs grandchildren for a long time (we were all very small). I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you all. I am sure everyone who knew uncle Elb knew him for always laughing and smiling; I sure do. Prayers and hugs to you all.

I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to Michell and her children for the loss
of your beloved father and grandfather. Only time will help to move forward and the
Testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ that we will all be reunited one day.

Missy, Cindy, Shelly and Rick,

I think you guys know how much I loved uncle Elb. Who wouldn't! He was always a big part of my life growing up, after all, we shared the same birthday. After I moved away, he(they) were always on my list to go visit and take to breakfast. You have to admit he was a good eater. His heart was good and he loved you kids very much. He was fortunate to live a long life without too many illnesses, especially like aunt Mary. I am not able to come up for the funeral, so please accept my condolences and I will keep him and you in my prayers. May God bless you,

Your Cousin, Debbie

My sincere condolances to you all. I have fond memories of going to his house with Rick when we were teenagers. He & his wife were always so hospitable & welcoming! And he always made me smile with his joking around. Praying for comfort for all of you as you go through this painful loss.
