Elliott Brack

I went to Elliot Brack's funeral yesterday. He was a friend. And he was quite a character. He was one of the first people I met outside of work when I moved to Georgia. He was sort of a variation of the main character of Tom Wolfe's "A Man In Full". I used to say that Elliott and I had a 50-50 relationship. He told me what to do and I did it. His 50% was telling me. My 50% was doing it. He was a fixture at my church and involved me in all sorts of things. Including organization of our "Civic Breakfast" where we invited leaders from the community for information and opinions of the community. It goes on and on. There were 260 people attending his funeral. He will be missed. https://www.crowellbrothers.com/obituaries/Elliott-Earl-Brack?obId=48440319

I went into town today (Whitney Point, NY) and took this picture. I can't make this stuff up! Note what it says on the side of the bedliner "Hillbilly Tours". I had a short conversation with the owners. They seemed pretty normal.

Have you ever thought of someone (their mannerisms and subtleties) and then realized they are dead? That is the definition of middle age.
