What Elliot was like

Elliot was a gentle and selfless person, ✨️ always giving of himself and selfless to a fault. He was wise beyond his years, and always curious. You could always tell that he knew something that the rest of us didn't.

Fondest memories of Elliot

Elliot was about 18 and we were driving in my car around Easter. I asked him what kind of candy he'd like in his Easter basket. He said, "anything not chocolate. " I said "well, that leaves a lot of options so please write it down."
I handed him a pad & pen that I had in the car and he wrote down..."anything not chocolate!"
I still had the paper he wrote in on after all those years, and in his handwriting I got it tattooed on my arm.

How Elliot will be missed

His enormous heart, his gigantic smile and his tremendous sense of humor.
