February 9th, 2006, i buried my grandpa next to my grandma in Gooding, Idaho.
Elmer Meyer was born Nov. 23, 1915 and passed away Feb. 4, 2007.
To say Elmer was a good man is an understatement. Where ever he went he made good friends. Everyone knew him, to this day walking around twin falls idaho everyone knew him. He loved life, lived for his family, was known for his sense of humor,and taught all of us valuable lessons, shared his wisdom, and no one ever heard him say anything negative.
He never critcized any one of us. As a matter of fact, when all of us cousins were sitting around the other night drinking McAllens on the rocks and sharing stories we all realized that he always said one thing to us, no matter what we wanted to do, he always would say "thats real good".
His gift was corroboration. So long as we werent going off the deepend he would always stand behind us, share his wisdom, and lift up the fact that we wanted to accomplish our dreams.
Every single one of us proud to have had him as the man that started our family, that his blood flows in our veins, and that we got to have such a long time with him at the head of our family.
Grandpa died with 1 son and 3 daughters, 10 grand children, and 11 great grand children.
It was the greatest honor of my life to be one of his pall bearers.
Here's to Elmer Meyer! Cheers.
