Mr. Wynn was a member of Start Baptist Church, Start, La. He retired from The Richland Parish School Board where he was Maintenance Superintendent and he was also a carpenter for over 30 years.
Elmo was an avid hunter, fisherman, gardener and could fix almost anything.  He was a hard working, strong –willed man rising before the sun, not to waste any daylight. He loved helping others and made sure his friends and family were always “full of fish!”  He shared all that he had with those that he loved or was in need. He gave generously to all in a manner that was both thoughtful and unselfish. He did not expect or want thanks or accolades in return. “That was just Elmo.” All he did was done lovingly, compassionately, and genuinely.
 Elmo had many friends that he formed over the 78 years that he lived on Wynn Island.  He was loved and respected by a multitude of people. His wit and keen sense of humor could do nothing but make you love him. He loved his “grand-girls” unreservedly and wanted them all to “learn how to fish.”
Visitation will be from 9:00 am – 11:00 am Sat., May 1 preceding the funeral services at Start Baptist Church, Start, La.
Pallbearers will include Larry Bennett, Walter Bruce, Larry Morris, Jimmy Kennedy, Brian Rawls and Wade Temple. Honorary pallbearers include Dr. Arlon Adams, Flex Bennett, Donnie Baxter, Tommy Lauranoff, Pete Melancon, Bro. Fred Robinson, Robert Davis and Charles Johnson.
