Elie was the owner of Special ty Contracting. He was a very special person, always giving. Elie found the time to be a devoted member of an organization called CHORES. As a member of this organization, he was part of a medical team that went to Grenada several times a year to assist with the children's hospital and its needs, which was something that was very close to his heart. Elie had a passion for playing djembe drums and as such was a member of a local drumming group and community. A favorite quote of Elie's was, “ Never underestimate the ability of a small group of committed individuals to change the world. Indeed, they are the only ones who ever have." Margaret Meade. Elie, we love you."
