ELBA – The Elba community lost a well-known and respected community member with the death of Stephen Robert Goff, “Stork”. He passed away on March 9 at age 64.
Goff served as Elba’s mayor and was the owner of the Stumblin’ Inn, a landmark on Route 98 that burned down on July 8, 2018. That site was a popular hangout, and Goff enjoyed welcoming many live bands over the years who played at the venue.
