The love of my life, Elli Tappan, passed away on the 10th March, 2011 in the Royal Hobart Hospital after a short battle with Leukemia, pneumonia, and sepsis.
Her memory will live on with me forever in her many adventures with me (see Elli's Trips)


Elli bird watching near 7 mile beach.


Elli on her favourite beach - Dodges Ferry, Tasmania.

Elli leaves behind a large and loving family in the USA. These pictures are the Christmas just gone (Bill was away flying).

Some of Elli's ashes were spread in one of her favourite walking places on Mt Wellington - Fern Glade. Deb and I also spread some of Sylvie's ashes here as well.
