“ As a childhood playmate and life-long friend of Elmer Lee, it is with sadness that the news of his passing is received. Even though we saw each other infrequently as adults, it is with certainty that he left his progeny with a rich heritage, founded on hard work and the Golden Rule. I had no better friend than Elmer Lee. Should any of his family wish to contact me regarding childhood memories, it would be my honor to correspond with them. Harry Thetford (htolharry@gmail.com) ”
