Just checking in. We had a great reunion this summer at Daveys, but just like the last eight years there was a big hole without you. Everyone in good shape.
This memorial is dedicated to the memory of our dad, Michael (Mike) Elmore Sr, who was born on March 6, 1946 and passed away on August 24, 2009. We will remember and love him forever.
Michael Jr and Courtney welcome you to this site and hope you enjoy our cherished memories and pictures of Dad. Please light a candle with a little memory of your own.

But what I will choose to do is remember a thought of you that brings a lasting smile. And, I have a treasure chest full of memories to choose from. Of course, there will also be an iced "clear one" set for you. So, be quick about it, make your move on it or I might beat you to it.
Not ready yet Murk but down the road big boy, down the road.
Happy BD big boy! Miss you alot. I know you enjoyed the Cubbies ride as much as we did. Give my love to M@D. Bill
Swimming in memories since I arrived in South Bend yesterday...all good but some tinged with a bit of sadness as I'm reminded of and miss yesteryear and the joy we experienced as a young family growing up. Going to visit the old haunts, play some golf, do a bunch of other stuff also but certain to hit the cemetery and offer up a prayer of thanks to Mom and Dad.
Two days ago, spent the afternoon/evening with Courtney and her family. Burgers, potato salad and eclairs were the primary staples we built the meal around...right up your alley. You've done good with your family Murk, really good!
Bill's already covered the Cubs and ND so I'll just add my pat on the back for raising our hopes...so, keep em going.
We miss you but are so thankful for the time we had you. Down the road Murk, down the road.
I predict your 70th birthday year is going to be a magical one for all the flock you hover over. So, Bill and I are putting in an order for a Cubbie World Series and shooting our age one more time...work your magic My Brother!!
Down the road Murk, down the road!
Love you,
Sharon
See you down the road Murk!!
could have been as good as Mike. Mike never got mad. I guess he
figured I did enough of that for both of us. Thanks to all the Elmore's
for letting me be included in there family. Love always Mike
I lit a candle this morning,you must have been near/perhaps right on my shoulder,as i never light a candle in the morning... until I did today! Now, I know why. You were there....Wow!!!! Tears of Joy as I miss you Cousin. My golf game has improved with your guidance and help as I feel most close to you on the course. You left me your love for the sport ... and I love it with a passion. thanks for that!! I had KFC twice last week,always so so good. Please continue to stay close and keep us safe!
Hugs&Love,
Linda

See you down the road.
Much love to you,
Sharon
See you down the road Murk...Dave and Carolyn
Had a chance to see Mike's family last month, and shared enough laughter over "dog stories" to last a year! Will get to see Courtney next month in CA. Wow Mike, what a great couple of kids...and their families are just as terrific! Your humor, kindness & love shines through!
P.S. It is amazing how much Dylan looks like you when you were his age.
is amazing how little I saw of him as an adult, but I still miss him. It makes me think that I should make an effort to spend more time with
Arnold and Eby. The four of us spent alot of good times together.
Love always,
Sharon

Hi my darling brother! Happy Heavenly birthday to you. Did you get my flowers? Love and miss you terribly! Love you, Carolyn
Your grandson Mike III is joining us for dinner day after tomorrow along with his friend Jon. The occasion is to celebrate your birthday (KFC and eclairs) and Debbie's 60th. She's here for the week. BTW, David Jr surprised us all with a sneak attack this afternoon. First time the four of us have been together as a solo group in none of us can remember when.
So, tonight, we raised glasses in toasting what would have been your 78th. Our memories and recollections of you are as strong as ever. We are so grateful for the time we had you in our lives but so still miss your presence among us.
Down the road Murk, down the road! We have a lot of catching up to do!
Please be patient.
Our Birthday Weekend
Love you crazy and miss you crazier! Team Giles xoxo
Good buddies

Shut the Box
This was the last video taken of Dad, only a month before he got sick. It was taken during the Elmore reunion of 2009 and we were playing our favorite family game, Shut the Box. Of course, in the true spirit of late night games it was Dad and all the kids, no other adult.
