His family and friends will remember his love for everyone, he always had a smile, and a quick laugh that was infectious. He was very close to his nieces and nephews and was always available to spend time with them doing various activities, talking on the phone, or a simple text message. Elmer loved being outdoors and always had a sport or activity to enjoy. He was an avid golfer, who enjoyed practicing and playing with friends and family. In addition to golf, he liked playing tennis, and like most things he did, he was very good. In his younger days, he could be found on the Edisto River water skiing, or fishing which was something he did with frequently. Elmer also enjoyed traveling with friends and family to old and new places. He loved his country and served for years in the 941st transportation unit under command of the US Army. He had a successful and long-term career in manufacturing at Robert Bosch in Charleston, SC until his retirement in 2014. He will be missed by all who know him, and we have hope that is found through Jesus Christ that we will see him again!
