I have just learned of Elie's passing and I am in shock. I worked with Elie on a project in Bluffton, SC in 2020-2021 and I so enjoyed his insight, knowledge and sense of humor.

He shared memories of growing up, with a classic anecdotal story. He had such passion for his work and clearly enjoyed the intellectual discourse associated with project reviews. While I...
