He grew up in Dollar Bay, Michigan, as one of 13 children born to Leo and Aurore Nault. During World War II, seventeen-year-old Elmer joined the Navy and served his country for nine years. His ship was docked in New Orleans when he met Velma Farmer. In 1953 they were married and in September of this year, they celebrated their 64th anniversary. Elmer and Velma raised a family of twin sons and a daughter in New Orleans while he worked for the United States Postal Service. He also worked part time for the New Orleans Recreation Department where he coached a multitude of boys including his own. After his retirement Elmer and Velma moved to Baton Rouge and devoted time to their grandchildren. They enjoyed travel especially trips to see their daughter and her family.
