Seems like only yesterday, you were part of the Big 4, in Marine Reserves, with the wild parties at the apartment on Stefko Blvd.! Watched you mature in to a fine young man! Semper Fi, Sgt. Elekes!

Well, now, Tim....You were always, always, always, good for making a lively entrance....not an exit! You were always a welcome sight when popping in to say "Hello" at the silos, to have a few cups of coffee and to tell me about your kids and grandchildren. So very proud of his family. Bon Voyage Tim. My condolences to all of Tim's loved ones. Tim, no doubt at all, will be watching over each and every one of you.

Farewell, Tim. I will never forget your unique voice and the (far too few) times we shared at work - both at Pfizer years ago and at the cement plant. I always enjoyed it when you came into he lab and we shared a laugh or your observations of our work environment. Yes, you were unique, and I most definitely will miss you. Going to work will never be the same.
