I didn't know Mr. Elliot but I did know Martha and his sister in law Anna. My condolences to the family especially his wife and kids. It's such a small world I would have never thought that Kevin fiancee was his daughter. Praying that God gives you all the comfort and peace you all deserve. Rip Mr. Elliot

I was so very saddened to hear of Elliot's passing. He was a brave and lovely, soft spoken man that always had a smile on his face. When I would bump into him at the grocery store we would talk about the Yankees or what we were cooking for dinner! My sincere condolences and prayers go out to his wife and family.

Elliot:you were a great man and I'm proud to say that we both married into the same wonderful family. I have fond memories of watching Yankee games with you and talking sports whenever we could. I'll never forget you cooking dinner for me and Martha and Diana when I first began dating Diana. I felt welcome in your home immediately and into your family forever. You also provided a lasting memory for my young son Evan by inviting us to the firehouse to see the trucks and meet your fireman brothers. You were a caring man and I can only assume that God needs you by his side in heaven and that your work here on earth is done..God Bless and God speed..
