After retirement from TAFB, he was employed by the state until his retirement in the late 80’s. Elmo loved gardening and had a green thumb.

Survivors include his loving wife of 69 years, Betty; children, Kathy Rhodes (Bill), Jenny Harris (Donald), Angela Edwards; grandchildren, Sarah Harris, Paige Collins and Amy Flowers. The family would like to express their sincerest appreciation and gratitude to his home health nurses, Deborah and Betsy, and home health aides, Linda, Glory and Kesha.
