What a loss for each of you! Uncle Elmer will be greatly missed. To me and to Gayle he was a great encouragement and example in prayerfulness and in his desire to serve God. Very capable and talented, he was always willing to share his knowledge and tips and ready to help with any need or project. We enjoyed his sense of humour, often expressed with a twinkle in his eye.
I mourn with you in your loss, but am confident that Uncle Elmer lived with, and that you continue in the assurance that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
I pray for your comfort and peace. May you be "...strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus.."

Elmer certainly was a faithful servant for the Good Lord and will be rewarded.
Certainly interesting to read all the other things that he had done, skiing up till not that many years ago too.
Gods' Comfort and Care to Marj and all the family .

Sharon and I both enjoyed Elmer's kindness and friendship. He was a loyal supporter at Wortley Baptist and a faithful and thoughtful church board member. He was very modest about his amazing athletic accomplishments and some I just learned from his obituary.
May his life of service and great family legacy be a comfort to all of you.
Love,
Norm and Sharon Corrin

"We have happy memories of the godly, but the name of a wicked person rots away." Proverbs 10:7 How true this is of Elmer! He was a warm, generous person who showed sincere personal interest in me as a child. He impacted me, indeed, our whole Foster family.

Here is a funny story involving Elmer and his work at London College of Bible and Missions in 1966. I had written the college requesting information as I was trying to decide what to do after I graduated from Toronto Western Hospital as a nurse. As a follow-up, Elmer phoned the nurses’ residence. The phone rang at the end of the hall on my floor and a nurse comrade answered it. She came pounding on my door saying that a man was calling for me. I had come off night shift and was awakened from a dead sleep. As I walked to the phone, I mumbled to myself that it must be my boyfriend Jim Cunningham, who was attending LCBM at the time.
So, I said hello and Elmer gave me the standard communication speech from the college starting with: “Hello, my name is Elmer Cassidy”, to which I immediately said in my brain-fogged state: “You are not Elmer Cassidy; You’re Jim, you’re teasing me! So, Elmer tried again saying: “No, I really am Elmer Cassidy from LCBM and again I said: "You are not”!
Now Elmer began in earnest to explain himself and finally I came to my senses and was horrified.
I offered the explanation that Jim, my boyfriend, who attended LCBM would periodically call up to my residence floor pretending to be in London when he was home in Toronto and teasing me about his identity.
Elmer knew Jim and we had a good laugh and were able to engage in a productive conversation afterwards. Elmer never let me forget that phone call and I sure didn’t. He even reminded me of that phone call at the final Reunion for LCBM in June 2018… and he still laughed as he jokingly reminded me of that incident...52 years later!

Oh we will miss you Uncle Elmer! Our time at the cottage will not be the same without you. You were always so willing to fix anything, and to join in on any building project. Your words of wisdom were always appreciated, and valued. Our love and sympathy go out to Auntie Marj, Mark, Barb, Donna, and their families. Lorna and Jim Garrow

I remember Elmer from Wortley days. He made a lasting impression on me, even as a child. He was filled with the joy of the Lord and what I will remember most is his smile and warmth. He was filled with the love of Christ and it was so evident when you were around him.
Praying for you all as you grieve your loss but rejoicing too in knowing that one day soon we will be re-united for eternity.
With love and blessings Karen

Elmer was a friend, coach and mentor to me.
He always had a kind word and some of his words of guidance and caution were prophetic to me.
I am so grateful for his life and model to me. I will miss Elmer.
Elmer loved his Lord and his family so much.
My condolences to Marjorie and the entire family.
Sincerely , Chris Cahill

I recently saw Mr. & Mrs. Cassidy at CostCo, they were in another check-out line and got out faster than I could. By the time I got out to the parking lot they were loaded and driving off. I wanted to say hello, and I remember thinking to myself, wow, how great is that, to be "of an age" and still so active and independent. It brought back many good memories from various conversations we had years ago. Mr. Cassidy is a great reminder of God's faithfulness and blessing unto the many generations of his family. It is rare for anyone to see their 11 grandchildren bring them 24 great-grandchildren. There are many of us who remember the testimony and sweet disposition of Elmer Cassidy and his example as a man of faith. My heartfelt condolences to all of you "Cassidy's".

Some of my favourite memories with Grandpa are the times he drove me to piano lessons; he would sit at Tim Horton’s during my lesson and bring me a donut every time. I remember all the times we went to Grandma and Grandpa’s house where Grandpa played with us in the backyard, took us searching for golf balls along the fence of the Thames Valley golf course, built us warm fires in their basement, and most importantly - time spent at the cottage. I have so many happy memories there: water skiing, knee boarding, canoeing, swimming, reading and playing cards by the light of oil burning lamps. All of these memories are so special because we were spending quality time with family. Grandpa and Grandma created such a wonderful place of joy and rest for their family to come and connect together, and to connect with God. Thank you Grandpa, for being a Godly example to us, praying for us, laughing and playing with us, and caring for all of your grandkids and great grandkids individually.
My children fondly refer to Grandpa as “Great Grandpa” and know that their house is a fun place to play with tennis balls and stuffed animals. I was always in awe watching Grandpa get down on the ground and chase my young kids around on his knees. Grandpa had so much energy and joy throughout his life, and it is what I aspire to be like. I love you so so so much Grandpa, I will miss you and can’t wait to see you again in Heaven.

I knew and looked up to my grandfather for his gentle wisdom, helpful spirit, and sharp mind. He passed his can-do attitude and ability to fix or build anything down to his son-in-law, my father, who has now instilled that in me. As a child I watched my grandfather build his cottage, fix his own cars, and find unique solutions to whatever problem presented themselves. It didn't seem all that remarkable to me back then, because that's just what grandpas did. Little did I know.
He built his life with the same level of thoughtfulness, care, foresight, wisdom, and dignity.
He was always ready with quiet advice, words of encouragement, and a godly perspective.
My grandpa and grandma's marriage was a 70 year masterclass of faithfulness, shared joy, and love. I am honoured to have had the privilege of having them as the example to aspire to.
We love you Grandpa. You are home in the arms of your Saviour.

I wanted to tell you how sorry we were to learn of Elmer’s death. Didn’t know him well. Saw him infrequently.But he always had a smile! He and Marj were anchors for the pond. We’ll miss him, too.
When we were in the process of buying our cottage, Bill rented an outboard from Thompson Marine to take us out I think to sign a contract with Jack and Elizabeth. I don’t remember the route we took to the cottage, but we went back through the pond. Well, we got to the middle of the pond and the motor crapped out! Bill pulled and pulled, and probably wished he could let fly with a string of oaths. Then Elmer tootled out, asked about the problem, and towed us all the way back to the marina. We were sure grateful for Elmer. That was our introduction to Bayfield Inlet. Not bad!
We counted on seeing Elmer and Marj every year. It won’t be the same. Please accept our deepest sympathy.

"Finally Home" We have known the Cassidy family for many many years and they were all a blessing. Elmer had an amazing life and served the Lord so faithfully. It is remarkable to know that he built the cottage by himself, so that Mom could do her art work and painting and she did such wonderful work and he was so proud of her. Don and I were there for a visit one afternoon before "Covid" and we had such a nice time, and we are so thankful that we went. We spent many months on a Wednesday afternoon with them a few other friends having a prayer time for Mark and Anita as they were out of the country. It was a joyful time and Elmer's mind was so good-he had everything organized and copied for all of us and every month he would call me and ask me to print a copy of Mark's prayer letter as we had color and he thought it looked so much nicer than the black and white. He was proud of all of his children, and grandchildren and great grandchildren-proud and concerned for them all. He has been a blessing to so many and will be remembered with love and thankfulness. Sending special thoughts to Marj.as she will be lost without him. He looked after her so well. God bless you all during this time as you remember a good long life "well lived".

We've known this godly man for many years now, since Wortley days! They visited our church a while ago, to go out for dinner with Dr. Barry & Audrey Moore. They were the best of friends. It was wonderful to see them again & speak with them that morning following our service. Elmer was a giant of a man in his walk with the Lord. I had worked at Compassion for a few years, remembering him in the office there, quietly going about his business. He was never in a hurry when he wanted to greet you in the morning. Being the Receptionist at that time, I had the best seat in the whole place, watching people come & go! Elmer was always encouraging when I was 'the new one on the block' & I appreciated his father like manner. He so reminded me of my own dear Dad. He cared enough to listen well, even when he was in a hurry! We treasured him & his wife as friends. We got to know their son Mark & Anita through missions & have been dear friends ever since. Elmer will be remembered with fondness. We'll be praying for your whole family during these days & after. May God bless, comfort & give you His peace, through this time.
Our love & prayers ... Richard & Sharon Van Hoffen
