Elton Engstrom Jr.

Helen and I are from Australia and visited friends on Vancouver Island in Sept 2010 before taking a cruise to Alaska, first stop Juneau, where we were fortunate enough to meet Elton at the gallery. For us Juneau was our meeting with Elton. We laughed with him and he gave us a history lesson on the Russians in Alaska. Later in the day I took a photo of the cruise ship we were travelling on. Later still I realised I had photographed Elton having a secret smoke behind the tree in the foreground....

Belated condolences to Elton's family & friends. I have followed my distant cousins, the "Alaska Engstroms," activities by occasionally browsing the Internet. This evening it brought sad news.

Sally and family, I am very sorry for your loss.

My condolences to Eltons family,I knew him for over 65 years and it was my honor. He was a true Alaskan and will be missed by many.Thanks for being my friend.

To the family: Saying good-bye must be the hardest thing in the world for you, and words seem like such little things compared to what all of you are going through. With deepest sympathy.

Aunt Sally, Cathy, Elton and Allan - I wish I could be with you all. Uncle Elton will be remembered fondly. Love you all. Annie Knight
