Steve and I would like to send our condolences to the family. We met Elam when doing some work around him home and spoke with his lovely daughter Diane several times. Elam was always a pleasure to be around and work with. We are very sorry for your loss, sending our thoughts and prayers to you all

Just wanted to touch base with the family of Elam as I see the obituary in the Elmira Star-Gazette yesterday. He was a good friend of mine over the years. I was a bricklayer and worked many jobs with Elam. I had the pleasure of doing the brickwork on two houses he built. I just want you to know I am thinking of the family and your loss. I will keep you in my thoughts. God bless

I was very fortunate to meet and befriend Elam in his later years.
We had some laughs together.
Will miss him.
