The true meaning of the term "gentleman" is a man who wants people around him to be comfortable. I attended a family function and Ely, as he introduced himself, made me feel so welcome in a warm and friendly way. My sincere condolences to you Maria, your family and friends of the family. - Posted by: Suzanne Boyko ( Previous co-worker of Maria, Ely's daughter) on: Sep 04, 2012
