Elmer was a long-time honorary member of A&M Garden Club and a huge contributor to the gardening community. He will be missed for his smile and fund of knowledge, and a tremendous generosity of heart. He gave programs to our club several times 1980s-2000s. I benefited from his tremendous tomato tips. A&M GC will honor his life at our annual Arbor Day, November 4. To his family I am so sorry for the deep loss you feel and please know his memory lives on in the many gardens and gardeners of Brazos County.
I have such happy memories of Elmer and Mildred greeting me and others with a warm smile and positive attitude every Sunday in the breezeway between buildings usually between services in encouraging conversations!
He will be deeply missed.
