Elmer had a passion for working with wood. He was a logger up until 1965, and then he went into construction. He helped build wonderful houses for his children and beautiful furniture for his children and grandchildren. He was also a true outdoorsman and an avid hunter.

He also has five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren spread across the Northwest.
