Dear Ange Family -- I worked for Elton for many years at IBM and found him to be one of the best leaders and coaches I have ever had. I was not alone - he touched many, many IBMers during his long career and we are all so fortunate to have known him and have the honor to have been part of his team. His passion and influence continues in us. I will miss his smile and laugh -- I still remember that so clearly. My sympathies to you and your family.

Fondly, Carolyn Maher (IBM, RTP)

We were very surprised and saddened to hear of Elton's passing. We worked with Elton at IBM and we both have great moments to reflect on. He was always positive and able to instill the same in others. He enjoyed life and felt there was a time for work, family, faith and friends; a thought he shared with me years ago.
The photos show how much Elton enjoyed his life and family, always with a Smile!
Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with all of you in the loss of a husband, father, grandfather and friend.

I wish I lived closer to Elton so I could have spent more time with him. He was a caring individual. He taught me how to take his own car to any family event so that he could leave without bothering anyone. I will fondly remember Elton for times like this.
