The following will be in Thursday's Cleveland Daily Banner.
Harry Elmore, aged 70 died on Tuesday, December 2nd after a short battle with cancer. He died as a result of a blood clot
Harry was a Christian, a wonderful husband, brother, father, father in law and grandfather.
He married his high school sweetheart, Barbara Wilson. They would have been married 50 years on Sunday Feb. 1, 2009. His devoted family are Franklin, Marisa, Grayson, Beth, Anne, Nicky , Amy and Wes. Harry was the youngest of 5 boys. He was preceded in death by his parents Ben and Irma Elmore and eldest brother Jim. Surviving brothers are Benny, Bill and Bob
Harry had a long and happy career in the Candy Business. His Great love was all sports, especially Football. He was part of four generations of Elmore football players at Bradley High School. He was inducted into the “Old Timers Hall of Fame” along with Rusty Clayton. They were known as the touchdown twins at Bradley. He also loved to tell that he pitched softball for North Cleveland Baptist Church. When he was 50 and got knocked off of the mound, he hung up the glove and spikes. He put on the walking shoes and loved going to the YMCA where he walked with his special friend, Joe Higgins. At the end of a 3 to 5 mile walk, he loved to visit with his special “Y buddies” as he called them. He enjoyed his conversations about sports and politics.
A fun memory of his was taking his push lawn mower to Arnold School, along with friend Ronald Rogers, and mowing the playground for the beginning of the little league football in the early 1960’s.
Harry was a thirty year member of North Cleveland Baptist Church. He was thrilled to have pulled the plow to break ground for the new educational building.
Harry was a very happy man who loved life and his family and friends. All who knew him were left with a “laid back feeling”
Pallbearers are Franklin Elmore, Grayson Elmore, Wes Hicks, Rusty Clayton, Ronald Rogers, Tommy Pierce and Honorary Nicky Aronica
The Family requests that in his honor any acts of Love be made to the North Cleveland Baptist Church Building Fund.

Franklin, we are aware of your loss. According to what I have read here, your Dad was a fine fellow. You all are fortunate to have each other at this time and that is a blessed legacy from your father. May Jehovah comfort you and hold you close now and always. Bless you! Randy Smith
Friends,
Laura Munch mentioned you. I am praying for your family as you are trying to live without such a wonderful man. It doesn't matter if Harry was 50, 70 or 100...God puts 'forever' in our hearts. It just never seems enough time here.
Having the knowleged that Harry was a Christian is a wonderul thing. I look forward to meeting him and your family one day in God's Kingdom...free from the pain of cancer.
Love Theresa
