We will always remember Elgin as the friendly, funny, lively man whom we first got to know as an across-the-street neighbor. It was a joy for us to continue that friendship in Arizona. Pat, you are in our thoughts and prayers.##imported-begin##Adrien and Donn Spencer##imported-end##
Dear Pat and Family,
I consider it both a joy and a privilege having worked with Elgin during those early formative years at The Cheney Foundation. He coupled a wonderful sense of humor with dependability and an outstanding attention to detail. The integrity he displayed in every endeavor commanded the respect of all who knew him.
My sincere condolences and prayers are with the Family.

Elgin was a very special friend and and we feel fortunate to have known him.
We were only casual friends until you bought your home in Sun City. From that time on we had many wonderful times together.
Elgin was soft spoken, and you felt his intelligence when he spoke. He was always himself.He was successful all his life and won the respect of all he met. We remember his kindness and his quick wit. When he smiled, his whole face became the smile.
To Pat and the family we send our deepest sympathy. We also want you to know that those we have truly loved, we will always love. That which was deeply felt, we will always feel. Elgin remains alive in our hearts. Love, Skip and Helen##imported-begin##Claude and Helen Zenkner##imported-end##

It was a sad day to read the paper and learn of Elgin's passing. His friendship with my father and mother, Mel and Jean Kroum, and with myself was always so meaningful. Elgin's extreme kindness and his integrity will always be remembered. He was such a good man and he will be missed by many.

Pat, wow, what a shock to read the paper Sunday and see news of Elgin. Of course a flood of memories swept through our minds, of time together on the Board at OGCC, and particular when you had us stay at your home for the Member Guest Classic when we were at Sahalee. Those days together the four of us enjoyed will be always with us. We got to know Elgin and you better and can call you good friends. Pat, our thoughts, and certainly our prayers our with you at this time.##imported-begin##Don and Judy Philpott##imported-end##
Dear Pat,
Joe and I are so sorry to learn of Elgin's death. We think of you and the Whalens every time we pass the two houses on #9. The "Naughty Niners" had lots of fun together. We miss you and will miss Elgin. Take care. Love, Ramona and Joe##imported-begin##Joe and Ramona Pease##imported-end##
