Good ole Charlie Elliott! I have heard that many times. I was honored to work with Charlie and the other partners at Howard Frazier Barker Elliott for 10 years. No other group with more honesty and integrity. He was always upbeat and would visit with anyone. Had a great life.

We loved Charlie! It was always fun to spend time cheering on our Longhorns with him at Jennifer and Andrew's home. I also enjoyed seeing him at Belmont Village, where he and my mom lived simultaneously. Condolences and peace to everyone who loved this genuine and entertaining man. - Love, The Ranslem Family
