Jill, Charles, and Family,
We are deeply saddened to learn of Mr. Elton's passing. He was a great friend to many. My parents bought your parent's home on Harrisway Drive in 1980. They were good friends. My dad enjoyed many a cup of coffee with your dad and the rest of the coffee club at The Shamrock Restaurant over the years. He will always be remembered fondly. We hope your many memories will help bring you peace and comfort now and in the days to come. With our deepest sympathies, Mike and Donna Norman Bryant, Retha Norman
