April 17, 2014

I worked for Mr. Stone as a young department manager. I found him easy to talk to and always looked forward to his visits to the stores. My best memory of him is when I was lucky enough to travel on the same plane with him to New York. All he talked about was his daughters. He was such a warm and sensitive man. All these years later I often think about him.

I greatly admired Elliot for his ethical standards,his merchandising expertise and leadership.
He took a gamble on a young executive at Maas Brothers and I am most grateful for his counsel and support.
Rest in peace, my friend.

I was privileged to have worked under Elliot's leadership at Jordan Marsh. He inspired me in all aspects of professional and personal life. He was a gem among the retail many and I will always cherish the fond memories of what he created with the Jordan Marsh family. My condolences to all his family.

Elliott was my "leader" at Jordan Marsh twice. Our relationship ended up a great one after a difficult start. I remember him fondly. Gail Phillips Hall Fairfield

I always enjoyed Elliot's company. We communicated well. He was extremely sharp, both in dress and intellect.
I most enjoyed some of our "heated" discussions where we sometimes disagreed on a topic...but this is what makes life valuable. I will miss him.
