Douglas L Elmore

Douglas (Doug) Lavere Elmore, 86, passed away January 17, 2021 in Syracuse, NY. He was born June 24th in Canajoharie, NY to Clarence and Leona Elmore. He was one of seven children and was preceded in death by Clarence, Jr., Carolyn, Rena, Marjorie, and Dennis. His second wife Lois passed away in 2001. He is survived by one sister, Patricia Smith of Mesa, AZ. He is also survived by his children: Brock (Wendy), Johnna (Mike) Germain, Tal (Debbie), and Quint Elmore. He is also survived by grandchildren Sarah Germain, Casey (Zachary) Fraser, Thomas (Lauren) Germain, Justin Elmore, Austin (Signy) Elmore, Douglas, and Davis Elmore. Additional survivors include his first wife, Patricia Vesey, nieces, nephews, great-grandchildren, and stepchildren Stephen (Diane), Philip (Claudia) Constantino, and Robin (Donnie) Beaver.

Doug moved to Florida in 1984 and soon began working at Hungry Howie’s in Clearwater, where he continued in several capacities until his retirement. It was at Hungry Howie’s where Doug developed lifelong friends who became more like family than coworkers. One of his favorite things to do was playing Santa Claus at the Hungry Howie’s Christmas Party!

Doug was an avid sports fan, loving all the Florida teams, but his favorite pastime was attending all the sporting events that his children and grandchildren participated in. After the games, holidays, special events or not so special events, Doug loved to go to Johnna and Mike’s…and play cards with his grandchildren!

A Celebration of Life will be held at Palm Harbor Life Celebration Center on Saturday, February 6 from 2-5, with a prayer service at 2:30pm.
