I worked with Elton since I joined Caltex Software on 1993. He is most import person to me for my professional career. I started worked very close to Elton since 2001 and my job is to build software components on top of the D the data language, a pioneer database language which was created by him and his long-time colleague and work partner, Merle Proulx. Since then the help I got from him had made my lifer much easier as a software engineer. I admire him not only for his wisdom but also his work ethic. Thank you Elton for all the help you gave to me and rest in peace.

I really admired Elton because of how smart he was. He always gave me advice to read read read! I will miss him very much because I really looked up to him and all of his accomplishments under his circumstances. He really made a happy life out of what he had!

To Elton's family, Elton was one of the kindest friends I have ever had, he was a blessing to me. I miss him so much now what a void I feel in my life. Elton, I hope you are running and jumping around heaven. Jesus, I pray that you bless the soul of Elton.

I first met Elton in 1964 while a student at SMU...I worked in the SMU Computer Lab. After that I worked with Elton at UCC on Hi-Line Drive. I am not even in the realm of Elton's genius, and our friendship was built on kindness. Such a kind, gentle soul!!!

The last time I spoke with Elton was on July 4 and he was so happy and his voice was so strong.

Elton, thank you for choosing me as your good lifelong friend,
Ilona Rakentine O'Brien

I wanted you to live for-ever! I still wish this was a dream and I would just wake up and we could continue our talks about just about anything. You lead me to the "Magnolia Trees" Such a Beautiful place! My last words to you Saturday night, Was I bet you were dreaming of Harriet. And you chuckled. I have peace knowing that you were really Happy that week. Condolences to your family and friends that they get through this difficult time.
