Sincere sympathy to the Echlin Family in the loss of Elmer. I saw the obituary on CKNX and brought back a lot of memories. His parents were great friends and used to visit my parents at Nile - Ruby and Henry Matthews, many years ago. I remember his parents very well and how my Mom and Dad loved to have them visit and talk over old times. Florence always spoke of her family and kept us up to date on the happenings in life. Many years ago we took Mother up to Holstein to visit. Mom passed away in 2003 and my Dad in 1963. You may have known my niece Lori Hurman, Ken and the girls Amanda and Nicole. Thinking of you all at this sad time. Take care and Love to all, Joyce and Larry Black.
