When I worked for El Kalah Shrine in the office I saw Erle several times a week, and truly enjoyed seeing his smiling face come through our doors. He was always helpful and enjoyed what he did in the various Masonic organizations. He will truly be missed by all that knew him.

Uncle Erle, you will be missed! I'll miss your VERY dry sense of humor, the way your eyes twinkled mischievously when you smiled, your bear hugs, your constantly positive attitude!!!!, and just knowing how much you loved me.
To the world you and Delone' didn't have any kids but please know that you could count all of us "Jensen" offspring as your kids. We loved you as much as our parents and we knew you loved us.
We'll all keep an eye on Delone' - or at least we'll try!
Rest in peace! Love you!
