Tech Notes from the Field

Elliott Klein passed away last Sunday.  I’ve been in shock for the last week.  It still is amazing and sudden.  It doesn’t seem real.  I consider Elliott a good friend and colleague.  My wife and I stayed with Elliott and Nancy for a couple of days.  It was great.  As my wife is a baseball fan, we went to a game during our stay.  It was memorable.  We would attempt to connect whenever I was in Phoenix; unfortunately the last couple of trips out there did not coincide with Elliott’s schedule.  I am disappointed now, but I also understand as he was a busy man.  He will be missed.

My last talk with Elliott I called just to catch up.  He was in Florida!  Crazy.  He had just arrived.  It was a short call.  He called back when he was able.  We discussed some stuff and made sure we would hook up on our next trip.  Things change.  I guess we will not be able to visit with you next trip, Elliott, but we will think of you.

Life is too short, so don’t waste it on the mundane.  Move on folks.  Remember those that have influenced you, but do not wait for it to come to you, go out and get what you want. Elliott did that.
