Elaine, Bruce, Marie, Ron and Alan and families;
Please accept our very deepest sympathy at your loss of a wonderful father, grandfather, great grandfather and our faithful friend. Elmer was a stalwart of our church and our community. We enjoyed hearing his memories of days past, his insights and reasons why things should be as they are. He enjoyed visiting with people and was always concerned and asking about family members and people he knew. He was very proud of his own family and their achievements although he had to be asked before he would tell us about their accomplishments usually. Elmer has left a wonderful legacy in his family. He certainly enjoyed their musical talents as well as all that they did. After Etta passed away I remember him talking to me about it. He missed her so very greatly but he shook his head and said what can you do but go on, as hard as it is. We will miss Elmer and his wisdom, his thoughtfulness, his smile, but as hard as it is, we will go on, remembering all that Elmer did for us and gave us. God bless.

Alan and family and siblings, we are sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. He was a friendly man. Cherish your precious memories. Hugs and prayers, George and Sue Wilson

Alan, Lindsay, Carrington, Morgan and Candace,

Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your father and grandfather. What wonderful years you had with him! I’m sure your deep memories will allow you to share many stories together in the days and weeks ahead as you remember him. God bless all of you.

Hugs, Karen

Extremely nice gentleman.Lived a great life.So sorry for all his family and friends.

Deepest Sympathy to the whole Powe family. Uncle Elmer and my mother shared a wonderful sense of humour, which was a pleasure to witness whenever they were together. He will be missed.

Our sincerest condolences to Alan, Marie & Elaine and families in the passing of your father. I just talked to El er a couple of weeks ago and will cherish that talk. The last of my 2nd cousins to go. With Etta now. R.I.P. Elmer. A great life lived.

Alan and the Powe family: Our deepest condolences on Elmer’s passing. During my 20 years at Centralia College, across the road from the Powe farm, we met on many occasions, during the year that the Powes allowed our students to study their farm business, when Elmer would attend s short course at the College or host a beef farm tour group. During my curling days I often played on or against Elmer’s team. I always appreciated his wisdom and experience and thankful for knowing him.

Elaine & Bruce, Marie & Ron, Alan and families

When I reflect on my memories of Uncle Elmer, I can picture his smile and his laugh, along with his easy going nature. I did enjoy meeting with Elmer and conversing about what was happening in the world. He would have some interesting thoughts and observations. Our mother, Audrey would always speak proudly of her brother Elmer.
He will be missed by the whole family.
Our sincere condolences to all of you. So sorry we will not be able to meet in person during this time, to share in your sorrow and remember the good times when we were all together.

So sorry to read of Elmer’s passing. He certainly lived a long and rewarding life and touched so many people in his many years. I recall as a young girl attending many social gatherings with my parents as the “old gang” would get together for delicious meals and card games or fireworks on May 24th weekend. In later years Reiny always enjoyed talking farming with Elmer. His wisdom and smile will be missed. Our sincere condolences to all of you at this sad time.

What a nice man Elmer was. Always had positive thoughts to share when ever we would meet him.
Watching his grand daughters at the arena, or later in the local restaurants. He was a man who was respected and thought kindly of by his community.

Elaine, Marie and Alan and families,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Elmer. Our families go way back with our parents being friends and part of their social “Gang”. Many memories of dinners, card games, and shivarees. Later on Dad and Elmer enjoyed each others company at coffee.
Enjoy the memories.

Alan & Family,
Your Dad will be missed by so many people in so many ways. Doug & I have such fond memories of times at McDonalds. Like the time we realized your Mom taught where I came from—such a tease he was, we had our little chuckles over him needing to go for a walk!! Smiles & laughter I will never forget. Keep his memories alive. RIP. Elmer The work is all done.

My sincere condolences. May he Rest In Peace.

Paul and Donna (Wallace and Ruth Ballagh’s daughter) Inglis

Elaine, Marie, Alan and families. Our sincere sympathy for the loss of a dear father, grandfather and great- grandfather. He loved all of you and you supported him to the end. Elmer will be greatly missed in the community for his willingness to visit and his support for his church and lodge. Bob really enjoyed curling with and against him and has great memories of being part of the group who fished at the Queen Charlotte Isands. We enjoyed his competitiveness and enthusiasm for playing euchre at the lodge card parties – even at 94 years of age. We will miss having a chat him as we did so often throughout the years. He truly lived a remarkable life – 95 years on the same farm.

To the family and friends of Elmer Powe:
We will miss his visits to the Curling club and his stops at his favourite coffee shop.
Our thoughts are with you all.

To Alan, Elaine , Marie and families. Please accept our sincere sympathy at the passing of your Dad.

Alan and Family:

Our prayers go with you during this difficult time. Trust that the Lord will grant you peace and strength. Continue to look up to Him and He will guide your paths. Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. Blessings in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Send our condolence. I think of the years when we, kids, had good times together as part of Mom and Dad’s “gang” of close friends. Then in later years, Dad would share stories of he and Elmer when they were young. Fun to listen to. They were good friends for a very long time. Elmer had a good life, worked hard, but will be missed greatly. Hugs across the airwaves in this time of Covid.

Alan and family,
We were so saddened to hear of your dad’s passing. It was always a joy seeing him out and about. I always loved our hugs!
Bev and Garry Kline

Our sympathy to family. We had good times, when our parents got together for social gatherings as part of the “gang” of close friends. In later years, Dad would share stories of he and Elmer when they were young. They were fun to listen to. Elmer had a long and good life, worked hard; but will still be greatly missed. Not many can say they lived in the same house for 95 years.

Alan and family,
Sincere sympathy in your great loss. Thinking of you at this difficult time.

Alan and Family My deepest sympathy for your loss. Thinking of you at this time of great sorrow.
