Elmo Cudini of South Lyon, and formerly of Lexington, MI passed away peacefully in his home with his family on June 28, 2017 at the age of 89. He was born in Detroit, MI on January 26, 1928 to Oreste and Mary (nee Guadanioli) Cudini.

Elmo was a true patriot. He had a very large collection of military and history books. Elmo began working as a cement mason with his father at the age of 12. He also was a long time parishioner at St. Dennis Catholic Church in Lexington. There he was an Usher, Eucharistic Minister, founder of the Knights of Columbus, and active volunteer for the Friday Fish Frys. In his free time, Elmo enjoyed to hunt and fish but nothing more than relaxing with a pizza and a beer. Elmo was loved by many and he will be greatly missed.
