A giving friend to countless and an inspiration to everyone he met.  Selflessly loyal to his family and friends and a dutiful servant to his clients and community, Elvio always gave more than expected in every facet of his life.  A leader by example, Elvio embodied the "Never Give Up" attitude and always challenged his children with "What Good Can Complaining Do?"
