I remember all the times staying with you and having you with me. I miss my grandaddy a lot. Ever since the day he passed it hasn't been the same. I love him a lot and miss him again so very much.

R.I.P

We will miss you at Sheetz my God bless your family.

I will always remember all the stories he told and the good times we had, I wish we could have shared more. I was blessed to have the support, guidance, advice, protection, and kindness my Uncle always gave me. I will always remember him. With Love and Rememberance, Bobby.

I was so blessed to have you as my uncle. You always made me laugh no matter what. You were such a loving man. I will miss blowing your horn everyday at 5:15 and waving as you pass by our street. I love more than words could say and miss you even more.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Our deepest sympathies

Dear Grandaddy, I am blessed and beyond grateful to have known you, let alone be your grandson. I'll always remember how happy you were, the type of joy that spread to others and made the whole place positive. You always made the holidays something special for us, I loved spending Christmas Eve at your place and enjoying good times with the family. You were the best grandfather and friend someone could ever ask for. Thank you grandad, for always being there for us, and thank you for serving this great country in it's time of need. You were the man I most respected and I'll cherish all the memories I had with you. The world has lost someone truly sincere and amazing, but you will never be forgotten. I know you're up there now helping the angels fix their heavenly boats, and one day I look forward to seeing you again. I love you Grandaddy like you love all of us, endlessly.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends and friends of Elzie. He will be missed by all whose life he touched .

A wonderful person who will always be missed and never be forgotten. God bless and may he rest in peace!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
