My deepest condolences to my family. I will forever remember all of the times spent with Uncle Els and all of you while growing up. My dad would always tell me of all the times he spent with Els when they were young. He will truly be missed.

In the 30 years I knew Els we did a lot together. Las Vegas, Cruises and many special events and weddings. He enjoyed practical jokes. His best was going to Bull Roasts that did not have shrimp but would come back to the table with shrimp shells. I would go look for them but they had no shrimp on the menu. He brought the shells from home and put them on the plate. I argued with the people in charge telling them my brother-in-law just had some where are they. Returning to the table Els would be laughing his butt off. I will miss that I hope you find peace and comfort we will miss you.
Did you take your bag of Shrimp? :)

Els, you will be truly missed. You are among the Angels now, so say hello to all of our loved ones. They are all on to you now. You'll have to come up with some new jokes. We love you and hope you are free of pain and you are breathing free.
