I was sadden to hear of the death of your Dad (Mr. E.J.) He was a terrific guy...kind and generous. He loved Polly and his family very much...and it showed. He did not like idleness...always active& happy. The beach vacations I think were a reflection of EJ...fun, unity, celebration of family. I am thankful for the time shared as part of his family. You were blessed with a truly wonderful father/grandfather. I know he will be missed, but not forgotten. My deepest sympathy to all. Love ya all. Larry
So sorry for your loss. Love to Geralyn, an 'old' working buddy. Jo Dupre

MY SINCERE THOUGHTS & DEEPEST SYMPATHY ARE WITH E. J.'S FAMILY. I HAD THE PLEASURE OF VOLUNTEERING WITH E. J. EVERY TUESDAY AT THE SAMARITAN CENTER, HE WAS A LOVING, CARING MAN WITH A HUGE HEART. AFTER HE LEFT, WE CONTINUED OUR FRIENDSHIP THROUGH EMAILS, I WILL MISS THEM DAILY. HE ONCE TOLD ME, AFTER POLLY'S PASSING, HOW SHE WAS THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE & HE OFTEN WONDERED WHAT SHE SAW IN HIM...WE ALL KNOW WHAT SHE SAW & WHY THEY HAD SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE. HE MISSED HER SO, I THINK HE DIED OF A BROKEN HEART & IS NOW HAPPILY REUNITED WITH HIS BEAUTIFUL POLLY.
Jane and Family I am so sorry for you at this most difficult time and offer my condolences and many prayers for all of you. Kathleen Mistich
Sorry we can't be with you at your sweet Dad's services. He and your Mom were dearly loved by all.
Paul - I just wanted to send my condolences to you and your family. I remember you talking about your Father when we worked together. It sounds like he had a very full and rewarding life.

Peter and family,
I couldn't be sorrier than to lose a great guy like E. J.. I last saw him in June when I visited and will always remember him as such a well-mannered and generous man who was more than kind to me. He teared up when we spoke of Polly and I know he is happy to be with her again. Peace be with you all.
We will always remember Elmer and Polly. Great people. Jim worked for Elmer when Elmer was GE Sales Manager for Laundry Products. A great boss who never took himself seriously but was a leader.

My thoughts and prayers to the Klebba Family... Uncle EJ was my great uncle, he was the brother of my grandmother, Grace O'Flaherty (Klebba). Only met Uncle EJ a couple of times back when the families used to get together for Christmas at Grandpa Elmers House a LOOONNNGGG time ago, but still remember him... Sorry to hear about his passing... will keep the Klebba family in my prayers..
