In loving memory of a wonderful person. He gave us so many great memories to last our life time. Ice skating on the pond off Range road or getting a ride in his red/white sports car. Or pretend to be from another country as we went through customs after swimming in Canada. Many prayers for the families and friends .
In loving memory from the Elliott family George, Jane, Mary, Rick, Carrie, Wendy and Kathy ❤
