We are deeply sadden with the departure of a friend and brother. Elijah and I were connected by my wife's family and over the years we grew close. He was always supportive of my children and I am still supportive to his children. PeeWee is what we called him and we both loved sports softball in particular. His hospitality, willingness to help others and love of life is what cause him to be so popular. My friend was friendly that is why He had so many friends. You will be truly missed but never forgotten. May God continue to bless this family in a extremely difficult time.
Dr. Alphonso Thomas Sr.
