His numerous nieces and nephews and their families will greatly miss Uncle Elton. Also left behind are the many friends and neighbors that he loved to spend time with. He sincerely appreciated their friendship. Although he lived alone for many years he was never lonely. Dad was predeceased by Mom in 1984 and also by his parents and six siblings over the years: Henry, Jimmy, Melvin, Rudy, Leon, and Gladys.
