| About |
Eliud, known for his dramatic and artistic abilities, succumbed to cancer at the age of 43. He had lived in Dallas for the past 13 years where he spent the happiest years of his life. My Tio Eliud painted two murals in the cafeteria of the old high school for the class of '81 and '82. He is also known for painting the huge Gene Simmons poster/banner that was displayed at one of the basketball games. He was also an active member of the Bear Memories staff. The picture I uploaded is of him at one of his proms, I'm not sure what year or his date's name (sorry). After his passing we received a lot of sympathy from friends who went to high school with him, and from UTPA. His love of drawing got his political and sometimes "controversial" cartoons are still hung up in the president's assistants office. I hope those of you who went to school with him, but didn't know of his passing until now, take a moment to smile and remember something wonderful about him; because he truly was a wonderful person. I love you, and miss you everyday Tio Eliud! Rest in peace, you are missed... |
