I can't find the words to adequately express the sadness my entire family feels for the passing of such a gracious man. Elmo and Deloyce have been my most loyal customers for the last 27 years, and during each conversation I had with Elmo he never once failed to ask how my wife and children were doing. Always polite, upbeat, and engaging, I enjoyed every visit we had ever since we first met at Mathews Elementary. It gave me great satisfaction to know that every day my kids went off to school they would be looked after by this great man who they thought of as a special friend. His love and care for all the students was on display every day with his never ending smile and comforting voice. Truly one of the best people we ever knew, our hearts are heavy today and our memories of dear Elmo will be with us always. We will never forget him.
