Maurice A. Elder

Pop was a man if anyone needed something done he would be there to do it or seen that you got help. He loved kids and dogs.If there were any babies in the house and Pop was missed, ten out of one they were together. I remember one time only knew him for a short while and I had to have my house painted, he told me if I supply the coffee he would paint it for me.And he did. Not many men would take on a ready made family like he did, all of us kids were set in our ways and he accepted that.But he let us know if we needed anything he was there for us and he was. He stood by our Mother when she got sick and finally died. And still called us his kids to the end. He was a great man and loved him dearly.Rest in peace Dad, we love you and miss you.
