Saviour Jesus Christ.

He will be lovingly remembered by his beloved wife Ruth of

58 years, brother Homer and his wife Wilma, sister Edith Kerr and,

nephews. Elmer will be greatly missed by Ruth's family and his friends.

Elmer was born at Neepawa, MB, on June 27, 1920, and attended

school at Arden and Neepawa. He spent happy years growing up

on the farm at Arden helping his parents. He loved to entertain

by telling about his experiences with farming, working

with machinery, buying and selling animals, especially horses

needed for agricultural purposes prior to the tractor era.

Elmer began his adult career with graduation from Teachers

College, followed by teaching at Portage la Prairie and other

Manitoba towns. Employment with the Canadian Pacific Railway,

Winnipeg, followed until his retirement in 1985.

Elmer enjoyed travelling, reading, games and gardening, and

helping others in need. He gave glory to God for every blessing

and aspect of his life. Elmer always treasured the blessings

of church connection.

He was a great encourager of children and will be remembered

for welcoming nieces, nephews and friends to his horne. Many

of them were assisted in developing their careers and talents.

If friends so desire, a donation in his memory may be made to

Living Bible Explorers, 600 Burnell St., Winnipeg, R3G 2B7.

Special thanks to Dr. Angel Ip for her concerned care of

Elmer over the years.
