Condolences

Condolence From: Christian Elkington
Condolence: Our father was a very opinionated liberal Massachusetts democrat and proud of it. He also loved Boston sports and jazz, but was only able to pass the love of sports onto his sons, even though he tried with all his might to indoctrinate jazz and liberal beliefs into Evans and my mindset. Many a dinner discussion had music in the background and politics and sports as one of the entrees. Our mother did her best as the referee! Our father loved our mother and was taken care of by her throughout his life, but especially during the last six years of his life as dementia slowly took control. His smile in seeing each of his grandchildren for the first time was enormous showing the pride he had for each one and will be a lasting memory. We will miss his opinions, his strong views and willingness to stay true to what he believed.
