I had the privilege of knowing Mr. Elmer Pegues in the early 60's when I was in my early teens. Although we lost touch, I have thought of him often in the ensuring years. He imparted to me some life wisdom that has served me often and well. I am sure he will be missed. My condolences to all.
Regards, Bill Aylesworth

Elmer Dean and family, I had the privilege of caring for your dad while I was employed at Springview Manor and it was truly a pleasant experience to have been able to get to know him as one of his caregivers. You have my sincere sympathy.
