Elmer Edmund Clow lll, 66 of Germantown, MD, passed away suddenly on August 12, 2019. He is survived by his loving wife Thanh, his mother Lupe, sisters, brother in laws, aunts, uncles, cousins and numerous nieces and nephews. Elmer was a gentle, quiet soul and did not have a mean bone in his body, never let on that he was having a bad day, and just enjoyed a simple life. He was his happiest either spending time with his family, playing softball or watching the Nationals or Redskins. He retired after a 45 year career with the federal government and was always looking for that next part time job to keep him busy. Elmer will be missed by all who knew him...so enjoy the simple things in life just as Elmer did. In lieu of flowers the family request donations be made to Mother Seton Catholic Church, 19951 Father Hurley Blvd. Germantown, MD 20874 or Our Lady of Vietnam Parish, 11812 New Hampshire Avenue, Silver Spring, MD 20904
