Patti Smith Whitworth
in honor of Elmer.
I’m sorry to hear that my uncle passed away. I was at their house a lot as a kid and tween, my cousin Rhonda (RIP) was my age and we were together all the time for several years. I remember Uncle Juniors hobby for fish and he had so many aquariums, at one time the whole living room wall was aquariums. He and Aunt Peggy gave me my first fish to set up my own aquarium.
The other memories I have are is stinky cigars, lol and his calm demeanor. He was one of the few adults that I remember having conversations with. Later in his life he built and flew model airplanes. He loved to play chess.
I’m sorry that I didn’t get to see him after we moved away.
