Uncle Elwood, you were a ‘One of a Kind’ person. Out-going, helpful, and handy to anyone and everyone whether family, friend or stranger. You would always go that extra mile for someone in need…and you had no expectations of anything in return. You will be greatly missed; but never forgotten. May you now find comfort and peace in Heaven. Until we meet again…….Love, your ‘Favorite’ niece, JoAnne Gerbino
PS…Say hello to gram, and tell her that I miss her and love her.

Uncle Elwood…I want people who read the great memories of you to know that you helped serve our Country by entering the Navy. The time you had served it is honorable and greatly appreciated. This I think was one of your ‘great’ secrets, if you had any. But now that ‘the cat has been been let out of the bag’, you deserve the recognition and acknowledgment. So Thank you once again for your selfless act.
With Love, your number one niece.

Elwood is going to be missed by his Temple Family, he was always helpful and always had a big smile.
The bridge players are going to miss his great salads, who knew when we hired Elwood that he was a wonderful cook too.
It has been our great privilege to get to know you. We’ll miss you.
Ingelise and John
