Tony Ellin was a great person, I'm glad I had the pleasure of meeting him before he passed on. We played at the Reno Open and I believe I was the last person to play him in a tournament as he was hit by the train later that week. I couldn't believe someone I was talking to earlier that week was no longer walking the Earth, after we had played I called my friends and told people what a nice and geniune guy Tony was.
RIP Mr. Ellin.
