Elio is a friend of mine, as he was to many people. I did a lot of work for him the past few years. At the end of every job he would ask what he owed me, and I was always so happy and fulfilled just hearing his stories and experiences, that instead of money, we would share a drink. He always had a bottle of something good under his desk, and was always more than happy to share a drink with a friend. To his family, know that Elio loved you all, and would always be telling stories about your lives and laughing and smiling throughout. I will miss you my friend.
