Joe and I met Elmer and Olive in 1968 in Falls Church,VA when he, Joe and I worked at The TV Workshop.We went bicycling with Elmer and Olive, they on their tandem and Joe and I and our two children on our bikes with kiddie seats attached. We had many suppers in their lovely home and when they moved to Olean we were guest in their home twice. They were the most interesting, sweet, old fashioned couple we knew, totally devoted to each other and their beloved pets.We have kept in touch through the years and Elmer even came to my sister's wedding and camped out in one of his home-made Truck/camper with his "Miss Tippy". There was not much he could not build or fix...a truly unique individual.
Our hearts are saddened by his passing, I loved talking to him by phone several times a year to hear of his exploits (a deer running into his home, maneuvering 7 cars in a 4 car garage, being pulled over by the Olean police while cruising in His vintage police cruiser with light rack..."but officer I didn't have the lights or siren on", taking in a friend who needed home care) what a dear, dear character that we were privileged to call our Friend. Our condolences to his family, Patricia and friends in Olean, May he Rest in Peace. Joe and Jenny Turner
