His preferred faith was Baptist. Over the years, he was a Sunday School teacher, a Royal Ambassadors leader and a Deacon. Elwood loved his family with all his heart. He spent a lot of time with his family. He enjoyed packing everyone in a station wagon and driving around the country to show them how beautiful it was. Anyone who met Elwood admired him, he was that kind of person. Even his caretakers at the end were fond of him. He was very loved and will be very much missed. Woodlawn Funeral Home
