Although Elmer has moved on, he will be in my thoughts for ever,I had the pleasure of knowing, and enjoying, Elmers company on many occasions,wether it was fishing, playing pool,or just having a beer together,I will remember countless hours of our many trips, to a lake, or just down on fraser river bars,and many games of cards, while waiting for fish to bite. I am a richer man for having had Elm.in my life Ed,
