He is survived by his wife Joyce; two children, Jennifer (Todd) Meyer of Bonny Doon, Calif., and Scott Elmore of Felton, Calif.; and four granddaughters, Athena Meyer, Katie Meyer, Samantha Elmore, and Jessica Elmore. He is also survived by a brother, Doug Elmore of Pagosa Springs, Colo.; and two sisters, Suzanne Sturges of Mexico, and Roberta Nash of Sun Valley, Nev.
