   Tom was our neighbor in Encinitas for 10 years on Paloma Court. He was such a friendly and upbeat person who always loved a sidewalk chat. 
   A memory that we have of Tom is our annual Bruin -Trojan Rivalry the night before the football game. Tom started it one year by switching out our UCLA license plate frame to a USC frame and he strategically placed a pair of crimson and gold USC slippers on our front doorstep! Well, as you can imagine, we thought we too could play Tom’s game! One night we planted a UCLA  banner in his yard and turned his USC flag upside down. This tradition went on for at least 5 years! He brought such  fun and mischief to the neighborhood. Thank you Tom. 
   We are sending our love to Nancy and their family. 

Tom Elliott was a one of a kind.  He was kind, patient understanding, helpful and thorough.  
He became a friend through insurance business and was the expert I could always turn to.

He will be missed by many and my heart felt love goes out to Nancy and his entire family. 

Thanks Tom for all you've done and the light of love and friendship you've been to us.
Always, Patty and Gary Miller

                   My thoughts about my cousin, Tom Elliott
Tom and I grew up in Glendale, California while our fathers served in the military during World War two. We lived with our Grandmother and our Moms.  We lived in a four story apartment building and we amused our selves by playing on the roof which had lots of vent pipes. There was also a laundry room with an old ringer washing machine.  We loved dropping clothespins down the pipes and saying “bombs away”.  If  we found something interesting, like a dead rat, we’d send it down the pipes too, and we laughed alot.

As we got a little older, my parents would drive me down to Dana Point from Reseda.  We would spend two to three weeks together, walking down to the old pier and spending the whole day fishing and surfing by the pier.  Other days we would go to our tree fort and eat all the candy and goodies that we would buy at the market down the hill.  We always had a great time together.

After we served our tours of duty in the military, we would get together at his folk’s house in Newport Beach.  We would cruise the Breakers drive in and we generally raised a little hell…or lots of it!

Tom was a great Cousin, and I loved him very much.  I will miss him, but I will always cherish the memories of the time we spent together.

Is there anywhere I can read about Tom’s life? I was a friend in rotary and want to read about Tom’s life. I’ve searched but can’t find anything. So sorry for your loss. Please point me in the direction if there is anything I can read. I’d like to reflect on his life. My prayers are with you and family. Dave Wiegman

I first met Tom two years ago at a Nativity Catholic men's group meeting where he asked for volunteers to help with projects at Nazareth Orphanage in Mexico. He was a great guy. I enjoyed our drives to Mexico.. early morning pickup, stopping at Starbuck's in La Mesa, trying to get our projects done by 2pm to beat the traffic crossing the border. Great times that will be missed. Keeping his family in my thoughts and prayers. For all the memories and laughter, my sincerest sympathies.

Tom was a friend and fellow Rotarian for many years. He will be missed in many ways. Tom had a terrific sense of humor and a great love for his family. We worked together on many fundraising projects for Rotary over the years and enjoyed social get togethers as well.  My thoughts are with his family at this time.
