Elly was one of my 6 relatives named Elliott, after my grandfather. He was always "big Elly Markson", as we have another Elly we called "Little Elly", who is one of the only two Elly's we now have. My brother, Elly and our youngest Elly Markson. So big Elly was our leader as far as cousins go. We loved and respected him ; sadly, we did not spend as much adult time together as we did years ago. Our family was and is a close and loving one. Big Elly was important in the family as well as outside , to the world in general, and to our world of psychiatry. This is so sad for sure; I will always remember Elly with love and respectful of all his major accomplishments.

The world is a better place for Ellie having been who he was. A very good man! Certainly, I and my family are thankful that he was my analyst and friend.
