A gentleman that knew Elmer, Tom Kocis of the Triple S Development Company, told me this story.
Elmer was in Chicogo, on a business trip, enjoying his Chivas Regal, ( that he always had when away from home evidently). He was on the 5th floor of the lobby of the hotel, talking with Tom and another gentleman, sitting on the ledge,with his back toward the lobby area, when he went over backwards. Tom caught him by the leg, the other gentleman helped to pull him up. Elmer never missed a beat, and continued to talk about the subject (probibly guns) like nothing ever happened. Scared Tom and the other man half to death.
This was almost the end of Elmer. In Chicogo of all places. Like Elmer said when it is your time to die, you will go, and not a moment sooner, no matter what you go through.
This must have happened around 1976, 1977.
