Betty,
I was very sorry to hear of Elzie's passing. I enjoyed my visits to your house in Springfield with Ernie. May God bless. James E. Ratcliff
So sorry to see that Elza passed to a better place. I always remember he was very friendly and willing to help me and the unit in Springfield, IL. He was in my unit, 3637th Maintenance Co, Camp Lincoln, Springfield, IL. I, also, visited him when I was near Golf Linen, when it was on Clear Lake Ave. Again, condolences. Roger Eilts, SFC, Retired.
Our condolences to Betty. Elza was a really great guy, always helpful in any way that he could contribute to any situation within the VFW. I served as Chaplain at VFW 4256 and
Elza was always ready to lend a hand when I needed it.
