Edward H. Elzholz, 57, after a bravely fought battle with cancer, went home to be with the Lord on June 13, 2013.
He was many things to many people; devoted husband, loving father, amazing grandfather, and loyal friend to so many. Through the most difficult times, he was always there to lend an ear, crack a joke or bring a smile.
