His hobbies included going to horse shows, showing horses for a short time, tending to the farm, and attending his grandkid’s activities.
Elmer is survived by his wife Phyllis, son Jess (Sue) Rubow, and grandchildren Kadi, Mitchell and Tia. He is also survived by his sister Charlene Whitcomb of Frankfort, KY, and many nieces and nephews. Elmer was preceded in death by his parents Paul and Amelia, as well as an infant son.

I wish to convey my condolences to the family. I bought hay from Elmer many times over the years and also helped him with his horses now and then. He was always in a good mood and with a smile on his face and a snappy comeback. He will be missed.
I am so sorry to heart of ELmers passing. Having lived on the “pasture” side of your farm for the last 35 plus years has been a delight and so enjoyed visiting when you were checking the cows. He will be missed by all. Anything I can do let me know. I have more time on my hands now than ever before. Sincerely, Sharon July Bauernfeind

Elmer as we knew him was kind and generous with a gentle spirit. We enjoyed stopping by to visit and buying hay from the farm in summer times.
Condolences on Elmer's passing. My mother remembers Elmer from Fisher Oil Company days when he drove truck - she said he always had a smile on his face and joked with everyone in the company, never complaining. Hugs to Kadi, Mitchell and Tia - Elmer was a good grandpa to them.
So sorry for all of you. Anytime I saw Elmer he smiled and laughed like to joke around. Prayers for all of you.
I’m so very heartbroken to have learned of Elmers passing. Having Elmer and Phyllis as next door neighbors for 40 years has been a blessing for me. Always there to lend a hand. I will miss him pulling in the back yard on the gator to chat. Hugs and prayers to Phyllis, Jess, Sue, Kadi, Mitchell and Tia. Love all of you like family, you’ve all been so helpful and kind through the years. He will be so missed. ??
