The people who knew and loved Elaine also knew and loved her handwriting: an effortless calligraphy that made any note look elegant and sophisticated. No written task was too mundane for Elaine’s artistic touch, even a grocery list deserved her attention to detail. Indeed, Elaine’s script was truly rep- resentative of her approach to life: She found beauty in everything and everyone. A gentle soul, she extend- ed kindness and compas- sion toward all whom she touched. Just to be in Elaine’s presence was to feel special and loved. Mrs. Stoler is survived by her beloved husband Dr. William “Bill” Stoler; daugh- ter and son-in-law, Arlene and Ron Gottlieb; son and daughter-in-law, Dr. Robert “Bobby” and Shelly Stoler; grandchildren, Julian (Kenzie Bell) Gottlieb, Marshall (Darbi) Gottlieb, Rebecca Stoler, Kayla (Alex Hansen) Stoler; many other loving family members and friends. She was the dear sister of the late Loren (Phyllis) Goodman. Interment took place at Adat Shalom Memorial Park Cemetery in Livonia. Contributions may be made to Intentional Communities of Washtenaw.

He was born in Kansas City, Mo., into a traditional Orthodox Jewish fami- ly, the son of Lizzie (nee Seliger) and Morris David Asner, a poor immigrant junk man. Asner won five Emmy Awards for playing Lou Grant across two series, in addition to two other Emmys for the miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man and Roots, making him the most honored male per- former in Emmy Awards history. Asner appealed to younger generations as he provided the voice of another gruff fellow with a tender heart, Carl Fredricksen in Pixar’s Up (2009). Asner also notably played Santa Claus in Elf (2003). Beyond his best-known roles, Asner had hundreds of acting credits in a televi- sion and movie career that spanned seven decades. Asner was an outspo- ken activist against U.S. support of the junta in El Salvador. He stood on the steps of the State Department to announce the formation of Medical Aid for El Salvador and presented the first $25,000 relief check for war-rav- aged communities there. Dozens of rightwing organizations asked their members to boycott the products that sponsored his show. Asner was also twice elected head of the Screen Actors Guild, a position that he frequently used as a forum for his political opinions, which brought him into conflict with Charlton Heston, who took over from Asner in a high- ly publicised power play. Asner had two daughters and a son from his first marriage to Nancy Sykes, which ended in divorce; and a son from a rela- tionship with Carol Jean Vogelman. Our State. Our T own. Our Hospie.
