Dear Mila and Edik,

The words can't describe how sorry we are for such a tragic loss. We are in shock. We've known you both for many years and saw Ilyusha grow up.
From the few times that we saw him (in Chicago and when he stayed with us in New York) we remember him as a kind, caring person, with a quirky sense of humor.
He will be sorely missed.
We are sending you our deepest condolences. Please, know, we are thinking of you.
May Ilusha's memory be a blessing.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Elliot's family during this difficult time. We went to college together and I will never forget how much Elliot made me laugh. He was one of very few friends I had at school but we ended up in a lot of the same business classes and began studying together. Elliot was such a kind and generous person. He always went out of his way to check in on me and poke fun at my many zoom calls with my long distance bf. We kept in touch after school here and there. Always wishing eachother well. I am so sad to hear about his passing. He was only just beginning this chapter of life. My heart breaks for his kids. May he rest in peace. Until we meet again old friend! ❤️

Sending my deepest condolences to the Vistman family in this unfathomably difficult time. Elliot and I were neighborhood acquaintances growing up, and I have some very fond memories of him during that period. From helping him put together a computer, to hearing his infectious laugh, he was one of the kindest souls I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. While life took us in different directions as we got older, his impact on me as the gracious and thoughtful person from my youth will never be forgotten. Rest in peace.

Elliot and I went to school together and remained connected via Facebook through adulthood. I loved seeing his posts with his children & recently, his travels with our mutual friend Danny. I enjoyed seeing the posts where he shared his happy life updates — I will always appreciate Facebook for keeping so many of us in touch after life took us all in different directions. It was unfortunately also through Facebook that I learned of Elliot’s tragic passing. I am so very sorry to hear and am sending my love & my deepest condolences.

I share my condolences for Elliot's passing with such a heavy heart. My thoughts and prayers are immersed in how big this loss is for the lives of many. This terrible tragedy is felt far and wide, and I will forever be grateful for the opportunity I had to know Elliot as he started and ended his day at AAAHC. I will remember his recommendation for treating my husband to a good steak at a restaurant without asking what he thinks about it. "Just let him enjoy it," he would tell me. Elliot, I will make good on your suggestion. I will also always remember his words, "Maybe I'm living your dream," which I told him would be the start of my novel. Elliot, the book will be dedicated to you.

Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your dear son. I had the pleasure of working with Elliott these past few years. He was a kind, quick witted soul who was always willing to help on any project. Photos of his family cluttered his desk and he was always quick to pull out his camera to share the latest picture of his children. He will be missed by many and not forgotten. May he rest in peace.

I am truly saddened to hear about Elliots passing. He was a wonderful person who always knew how to brighten up a room. He was always up for anything, and really stood by his friends and family. You will truly be missed and I wish we had more time. I have known you since middle school and we had many of the same friends groups, and I was truely looking forward to reconnecting after we parted ways when we went to different colleges. I really wanted the opportunity for our two families to come together and have a playdate after all these years. I still can't believe we were talking about having a playdate this past Sunday after Thanksgiving, but I could not make it work with my grandmothers recent passing. I guess you just never realize how little time you have and should cherish ever memory. You will truely be missed and my deepest condolences to the Vistman family and all the people who had the opportunity to meet Elliot.
