I was very sorry to learn about Elliot's passing. I work with him at USDA and we car-pooled for many years. After his retirement, I was always happy to see him in the grocery store. My deepest sympathy to Pat, Michelle, Kim and Brad.

I was his secretary for a few years at the Department of Agriculture. He was a very nice person to work with. He will be missed by a lot of people. My deepest condolences to Pat and the family.
