His working career started out on a farm in Bakersfield. After farming Elmer relocated to Highgate Center and worked for contractors in highway construction; mainly Munson Construction. Elmer retired in the fall of 1992 and enjoyed his golden years with his wife and family.
He had a great love for nature and all of Gods creations. Elmer enjoyed spending time in the woods and traveling the country roads of Vermont with Christean. He was an avid hunter, but mainly to enjoy the outdoors, he would never take the life of the animals he enjoyed watching.
