MONTGOMERY CENTER - Jeffrey Edwin Elliott, age 55, passed away Saturday June 17, 2006 at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington with his loving family and friends at his side.
He was born December 27, 1950 in Manhattan, New York. Jeff was raised and schooled on Long Island where as an adult he worked hard at establishing a successful landscape construction business. In 1987, he gave up the city life and his business to purchase a farmhouse in Montgomery Ctr, Vermont. Jeff always had a love for the country and a passion for exploring the outdoors and felt very fortunate to be able to share that with his family. While living in Vermont he built log homes and most recently worked for TFM Construction Co. in Burlington as a working foreman. Some of his fondest memories included sugaring with horses the old fashioned way, sharing a beer with friends and most of all the time he spent with his family.
He is survived by his wife, Susan (Tschinkel) Elliott of Montgomery Center; his children, Jason Elliott of Long Island, NY, Brad Elliott of Montgomery Center and Lauren (Elliott) Krutsinger and her husband Kyle of Tampa, FL; his parents, Charles & Katherine (Buschman) Elliott of Montgomery Center; his brother, Russell Elliott of Swanton.
A celebration of Jeffs life will be held on Friday June 30th at 2:00pm at his home on 3087 South Main St. (Route 118), Montgomery Center.
