Elliot was a dedicated, compassionate family physician in Vancouver for 43 years. Deeply loved by wife Louie; children Johanna and Scott; sister Faye; nieces Elaine, Sherri, and Andrea and their families. Many dear friends, colleagues and patients in Vancouver and abroad will miss his infectious laugh and countless stories. Life is all about the stories. Special thanks to rock solid cousin Frank Bosk, dear friend Rosa Tang and Dr. Andrew Ellison for their unwavering support throughout this difficult time; and to all the angels that supply patient and family support in the Palliative Care Unit at VGH. In lieu of flowers, kindly donate to the BC Cancer Foundation or any special group of your choice.
