Our first contact with the Elliott family was through Jim, we were trying to trace our relatives in the states. We came across an advert from a gentleman by the name of Jim Elliott selling his clasic sports car, Jim not knowing who we were but being the man he was, took our quest in good faith and helped us establish ties that have grown beyond anyones expectations. We have met Jim and his brothers several times in both Ireland and in Boca Raton at Johns home.
To Min, Jims children, his brothers and sister Irene, the extended family, we are truly sorry for your loss.
"Jim thank you for everything you did for us, you were a true gentleman, we will always be thinking of you, RIP"

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
