I was trying to think of Elmer’s name the other day and it would not come off my tongue! Then all of a sudden there it was today. I wanted to take my mom on a weekend getaway next month and remembered his deals. I used him for my honeymoon 12 years ago. I too was so dissapointed to find that he had passed away. Thank you for the story you posted.

I had the opportunity to work with Elmer late in his career when he made the change over to KIEV / KRLA. What a guy Elmer was!! Fun, Friendly, extremely whitty an a true gentlemen!! I shared many a meals with Elmer and will never forget those times. One I remember vividly was at Kourhy’s in Long Beach. Elmer asked me and my wife to join him for “Lobster”.. When we arrived, it was like being with Royalty. The waiter’s (3 of them) came out on the patio with 3 huge platters piled high with fresh steamed Maine Lobster. Must have been at least a dozen on each platter!! I never saw anything like it. Elmer said, “Dig in” and we did. I watched Elmer put back about 6 lobsters with no problem, covered in butter!! I will never forget that incredible meal we shared. Lynn & Peter, I believe you were there too!!
Just one of many fond memories with the boss man.

Repeating what I said over at b.LA…
Elmer Dills was a class act. He will be missed.

I’m glad for the info about the public memorial. I’ll be there.

I am Elmer’s wife and I just wanted to thank you all for the kind comments. I know he will be missed by so many people but he had been in failing health for the past year (heart) and was ready to move on. There will be a Public Memorial Service on Friday, October 3 at 1:00 pm at All Saints Church, 132 Euclid Avenue, Pasadena 91101. Everyone is welcome. Thank you so much again.

We to shall miss Elmer, he was the main reason that we watched kabc news or listen to the radio. Lets face it his reports were always right on. You always knew if he gave his approval you’d have a great dinner and great time. We hope that Heaven has restaurants so Elmer can review them.
