The passing of Elwood is a huge loss to the pleasant valley community. Mike and I were his newest neighbours and he was the first one to knock on our door and welcome us to the street. He was so kind and knowledgeable and always offered a helping hand when we needed it. He was definitely the dad of the street and helped us so many times with clearing trees, burning trees and home ownership questions. Elwood was definitely a talker and could talk to you about everything, offering advice and just genuinely kind hearted. Mike and I didn't get to know him very long, but his character was true and we appreciated everything he has done for us. He will be missed by us and condolences to his family and friends.

We are so deeply saddened by the sudden loss of our neighbour and friend. Elwood was one of the kindest, most caring, community-minded people I’ve ever met. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone who needed it. He offered his advice and wisdom freely, and has helped us out in countless way over the last four years of being his neighbour. We often joked that he was like our neighbourhood dad, because he was always the first person we called whenever we had any questions about home maintenance/repair, or anything really. And he was never too busy for a chat. (And boy could he chat!)
It was so clear by his words and actions how deeply he loved his own family. He was so proud of his grandsons and spoke lovingly about them often. But he also had so much room in his heart for our family, and we will be forever grateful for this. We were strangers in the Pleasant Valley community, and Elwood welcomed us with open arms from the beginning. Elwood and his tractors, and horses, have been a huge highlight of our three year old son, Reuben’s life. I think “Elwood tractor” was one of Reuben’s first phrases haha and Elwood loved showing Reuben his tractors and always took the time to foster his own love of tractors and heavy machinery. Elwood lived with such enthusiasm, and had such a deep appreciation for everything he had in his life. He cared deeply for his community and was always looking to lend a helping hand. The world would be a much better place if everyone was even just a little bit more like Elwood.
His loss to this community is immeasurable and he will be so greatly missed. Our deepest to condolences to his family and all those who knew him.
Mallory, Peter, Reuben and Flora

Dear Mary and family, heartfelt condolences on the loss of dear Elwood. He was such a lovely man. Elwood was always so helpful to me in dealing with my property. His kindness and help were so much appreciated. He would drop and visit with long stories of this and that. I always enjoyed his visits. He always spoke so highly of you and your son - he was so proud of his family. I am very sad to hear this news. He was definitely one of a kind.

We offer you our deepest condolences. With love, Aaron, Jaime, Clark, Finn, and Charlie Smith

Dear Mary, Chris (Samantha) & boys, to Elwood’s wonderful loving sisters, brothers, your families, extended families & numerous friends near & far; our very sincere condolences & compassion to each of you, we share your sadness in your emotional loss & heartbreak. Elwood was just one of those people you couldn’t help being drawn to and like instantly. He loved people and he so enjoyed a good chat, he spoke so much faster than the rest of us, (smile insert) it was certainly one of his unique characteristics we will remember with fondness. Being in Elwood’s company was always a pleasure and most recently being at the barn for music & fun, he was so extremely proud of his wedding barn & loved to have others share & be welcomed there. We’ve known Elwood since 1980 when we built our house and he so meticulously built our hardwood floors throughout, he was the best and we will miss seeing him, being in his company and the many chats we shared but will treasure all our memories of this really great guy we were pleased to know & call our friend, God bless you all as we reflect, remember, and celebrate his life taken far too soon.
