Tom Elioff Obituary

Tom Elioff

Tom Elioff of Berkeley California died June 27, 2019. He was born in Monroe Louisiana in 1933, and after graduating from Louisiana Tech, he fulfilled his dream to study physics at U.C. Berkeley. His long career included physics research at U.C. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, and a two-year appointment with the Department of Energy in Washington, D.C. Other than his loves of physics and family, his major pleasure was fishing with friends. He is survived by his wife Ione of sixty-two years and his daughter Amanda of Pasadena, CA.

I'm so sorry to hear of Tom's exit. There were never a pair of more twinkling eyes - NEVER! I will remember him for his wicked sense of humor and his kindness. The time we spent working at the SSC project in Berkeley is the happiest of my life. Tom - I hug you to my heart.
