With the deepest sympathy and tears in my eyes, Rest In Peace My Friend.
I met Eliot in 6th grade and we became good friends. The first time I went to his house it had a different feeling. I was surrounded by energy of knowledge and creativity. I followed him to the basement where he demonstrated his latest experiments one of which included a ford coil and lots of sparks. From that point on I was immediately hooked on electronics. Throughout the coming years I meet his family as we continued our friendship. I remember many times being at his house, conversations, deep thought discussions about science, math, physics, theories, experiments and of programs that will enable computers to think. I still to this day, this very second I vividly recall and cherish all those moments and his friendship.
Eliot thank you for being my friend.

My sympathies to Suzan, Amber, and the entire Case family. I only worked with Eliot a short time in Cleveland but enjoyed both our professional and personal conversations.

So sorry to hear about Elliot's passing. I worked with him when I first started here at Denver 7 and I found him to be a very warm and friendly person. Sending out thoughts and prayers to his family; he'll be sorely missed.

My condolences to the Case family.
I knew Eliot for a brief time in 1981 in Salt Lake City. He took our punk band, Angle, under his wing and helped get us a couple of gigs and he did a little studio recording. We pressed 200 copies of a 4-song record and gave away most of them to friends. A copy of this record recently sold on eBay for $2000.00 LOL. Eliot was always gentleman with a positive attitude. He was a kind and patient guy.
I'm very sorry for your loss
