Brothers
We have lost another fine brother, one who left us much too soon, Mike Elliott, class of 1973 passed away last Friday after being diagnosed with a sudden, aggressive form of melanoma. He had just returned from a trip to Italy with several other fraternity brothers and had complained of not feeling right during the trip.
Recently Mike has been one of the brothers who was actively involved with the recolonization of DU, speaking with prospective members at Clarkson during the initial Rush last year.
Calling hours are on Monday and Mass is on Tuesday. Consult the active link for details.
