I was so saddened to hear of the loss of such a great person. I remember back in elementary school how he always made me laugh and smile everyday in our special reading class. I remember how sad we all were when hugo hit and ya'll had to move off folly beach to west ashley it was such a sad moment. It hard to think that his life had to end so soon. My prayers go out to your family and especially his children. I'm so sorry for all of your losses it's so hard my heart bleeds for you all.

I didn't know E.L. personally but I worked at the terminal he worked at and nothing but good things were said about this young man. He was a humble person from what I seen and he will be missed by the people he worked with at the South Carolina State Ports Authority. God bless him and his family.

I still hear laughter down the street.
Then, just now I hear silence. But the laughter will return because of all the strong family memories you will share. ONE LOVE
