We enjoyed getting to know Elmer and Eileen and various family members as you came by during the few short years we were next door neighbours at Fairview. It was wonderful to hear Elmer’s voice and humble wisdom on the occasion of being recognized for his volunteer involvements in Habitat for Humanity. I appreciated the bits of wisdom that he had written down from Proverbs and I love the image of joy and satisfaction and appreciation as being deposits in our memory bank. Elmer practiced that as long as his memory lasted and beyond that it’s up to the rest of us to make it part of our life practice. What a wonderful legacy he has left! “Well done, good and faithful servant!”

I worked for the Shantz family for about 15 years. They were easy going honest people that always appreciated their employees. I always was grateful for my employment with them. My condolences to Larry Bob and their families. Dennis Kieswetter.

I did not have the pleasure of meeting Elmer or Eileen, but have heard many good things about their community leadership and contributions, including through Habitat for Humanity. Beginning in the early 1990s, they played a significant role in building Habitat in Canada, recruiting wonderful people to join in our mission - many of whom are still involved today - and securing land and funds in Waterloo region and beyond. This included sharing the inspiring work of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter with Canadians, and leading them to launch large-scale builds in our country. My colleagues who knew Elmer and Eileen speak very highly of them and all they they learned from them. Our hearts go out to the Shantz family at this sad time.

My deepest sympathy to your family! Our family connection with Elmer & Eileen go back many years when Bob & Elmer served on the Habitat building committee together. Those were inspiring years! The 1993 Jimmy Carter Build was a BIG job - having 10 houses ready for families to move into at the end of the week. It took extraordinary coordination and organization and Bob so appreciated the skills, expertise and humble, patient and kind presence that Elmer brought to the build. His legacy lives on in all the houses here and in other locations which bear his handiwork. Well done, good and faithful servant!
