Our condolences to everyone at Elias and to Mr. Siwoff's family. He and his company cast a very long shadow over our industry, and the work he and Elias has done is essential to our knowledge of the game.
This afternoon the Elias family lost its visionary leader. Seymour Siwoff passed away at the age of 99. Seymour is a legend who transformed the company into what it is today.
