    To the Family: Elliot was certainly a great person to work with and such a gentleman. I enjoyed the talks we’d have as we shared a work assignment. I especially remember Elliot’s cork art. As the pain of your loss grows dim, be blessed by the memory of a wonderful life lived by your father.

  2. Our deepest condolences for your loss, and our most heartfelt prayers for comfort.

  3. Dear Elliott, I read your story. I know what a good human being you were. You walked the road of life well. Your family and friends are a living testimony to this. Thanks for sharing some of yourself with me. I will never uncork a bottle of wine without remembering you. Milicent

  4. In my world, Elliot will forever be “one for the ages”….We should all be so fortunate to know a person like him…what an honor, what a privelege, to have spent a few moments with him on our journey, and I like to think we’ll meet up again another day………….

  5. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss . Lean on God above , He is very familiar with grief because He bore all our griefs and sorrows and is the only one who truly understands . He just uses people to hug and comfort us with hands of flesh and words of kindness .
