Reporting for Duty: Senior Living Community Honors Retired Sheriff

Table of Contents

Elmer is a local legend in Round Rock, Texas. He lives in our senior retirement community, which is right in the same town. We thought he deserved to be honored for his years of community service.

He didn’t know what kind of a ride he was in for!

Elmer’s Miracle Moment: Drive Around Round Rock

On November 22, Double Creek Senior Living in Round Rock treated their beloved resident, Elmer, to a Miracle Moment. To his surprise, Elmer was picked up at the community at 2:30 p.m. for a special ride with the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office. We can’t tell you what they talked about or where they stopped, but this retired senior was all smiles when he entered and exited the vehicle.

Elmer’s family and friends waited for him and warmly welcomed him when he returned to our community. After that, everyone gathered for refreshments and camaraderie.

Paying Tribute to Elmer’s Service
