He was the President of Pine Forest Country Club in 1967, and an active member of Braeburn Country Club for over 20 years.

Elmer also leaves behind one brother Max and one sister Mary who reside in Maryland, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
The family would like to express their deep appreciation to Dr. Dennis Hamil of the Medical Clinic of Houston for his exceptional care of Mr. Elbin during many years of his life. Dr. Hamil's care and compassion gave Elmer a better and longer life. Special appreciation also goes to Dr. Guerra at University Place Nursing Care, his nurse Lillian Perez, and the wonderful nursing staff at University Place who took care of him, and to the private nurses, Brenda Burkes and Nicki Adams during his final weeks.
Elmer faced every obstacle in his life with courage, determination, and honesty, from cancer to heart disease, the loss of his dear wife, and a continuous decline of his lifestyle as his health deteriorated. He never complained and never lost his sense of humor.
Services were entrusted to Earthman Funeral Directors of Houston, Texas.
