    We are sorry to hear about the loss of your husband, father, grandfather and a wonderful man. You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this time of sadness. Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

    El and I worked together at Union Pacific Railroad. He was a very special person!!! Loved interacting with him as he was very diligent, yet a lot of fun!

    Please accept my deep condolences on ‘’my elder brother in Omaha’’ El, Helen and all of his family.
    My memories working with El for Rail will be everlasting.

    My sincere sympathy to Helen, family and friends. I worked in the office (cubical) right next to El for years. He was the rail buyer. I was the buyer for signal, track and electrical materials. El was a great person who always did a great job. EAS was fun to work with and loved his family dearly. Heard him speak fondly of you all often. May our Heavenly Father bring you all comfort and peace today and in the days ahead. May God wrap you all tightly in His love and care.

    I am sorry to hear of El’s passing. I worked with El at Union Pacific and he never hesitated to share an encouraging word and his wisdom with me. I appreciate him, please accept my condolences.

    Steve and I were so sorry to read that El had passed away. I did not see the obituary until Thursday. Night or we would have come to the visitation. Our sympathy goes out to your family. We always enjoyed his cheerful spirit. We will also tell Ron and Sue. Please email me your address now.

    Dear Helen and family, I’m so sorry to hear that El passed away. We alway enjoyed his dry sense of humor! I always imagine him fishing! Take care. Sue
