Donald B. Elliott

Serving in the Legislature with him was such a blessing. His kindness and wisdom were so appreciated. He will be long remembered. Senator Gail Bates

Delegate Elliott was a treasure of a man- and not just because he gave me my first professional job in politics. I remember well working for him (really with him) -he would always challenge me to reflect on how policy affects folks in his district, and then the state as a whole. Our rushed lunches during the legislative session over Subway sandwiches were epic as we reviewed and talked about state business, but also life. No topic was avoided, and his grace in indulging a young guy...

Our heartfelt condolences for your loss! He was truly an honorable man! Mike and Mary Evans

I served with Don in the House of Delegates for over 10 years. We were on the same committee, so we worked together on many issues, even as he was a Republican and a pharmacist and I am a Democrat and a physician. We agreed, and we disagreed, but he was always a gentleman in our sometimes heated discussions. Over time, he convinced me of ideas I thought I would never adopt, and he came around to some of my ideas too. Don put partisanship aside, always focusing on the issues, the language in...

All those years ago I loved seeing Doc Elliot at New Windsor pharmacy. Nickel Cokes after school were always a wonderful treat.

I was a transplant to Carroll County in the early 70's. Through marriage I was related to Jim and Nellie Lantz, who were friends of Don's. I was a nurse working at CCGH and was pleased to make his acquaintance. He was probably one of the few politicians who could be trusted. He may have passed on but what a legacy he left in Carroll County.

I would walk to the NW pharmacy, on my way from Highs, to say "hi". He attended my high school wrestling match that was an away match. At the end of the 1st period I broke my hand. After the match (I won) he walked with me and got a custodian to get a bag with ice for my hand. Even called my mom before I arrived home. He was just that kind of man.

Harriet and Family - We are very sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

May he Rest In Peace. Prayers for his family. Bonnie and Ronnie Booksh
