Cross posting my comment here from another concurrent thread that also addressed Elliot’s death:

This hits hard.

Elliot was an important figure to me when he opened EnterTrainment, an O gauge layout attraction, in the Mall of America in Bloomington, MN, in August 1992, when the shopping center was unveiled.

When I connected with Elliot in person in 2016, I was happy to invite him to visit the Milwaukee Lionel Railroad Club in New Berlin, WI, a kind of payback for his efforts 20 years earlier. (That’s me on the left and Elliot to the right in the photo.)

I figured I would one day follow up with a visit to his Stillwater, MN, home, but his subsequent health struggles and my own scheduling challenges made that more difficult. Now I regret not making it a priority.

Elliot was a fun guy. How could I not like him?

My condolences as well.

Here’s the other thread:
